A Homesick Kind Of Guy

Music has the power to transport us to another time and place. The All Canadian Soundclash loves to harness that power with a broad audience of fellow music lovers and passionate musicians alike. Ever since a young age, Andrew Michelin has found great joy and satisfaction by being involved in the creative music process. That is the reason Andrew Michelin has created and released this stunning collection of songs to the world with this, his debut full length album “Better late than never”, and it means just that. After a long departure from the music scene because of seeking out other creative outlets throughout the years, Andrew is back with his first professional studio recording produced by Award winning Producer & Musician Dale Murray. Dale comes from Canadian musical royalty as being the nephew of the iconic Canadian Singer Anne Murray and has also proven himself to be one of the most talented and versatile musicians on the Canadian music scene. After releasing his debut album Brighter Lives, Darker Side and spending seven years backing some of Canada’s greatest talents (Hayden, Cuff The Duke, Joel Plaskett, Buck 65, Christina Martin, Matt Mays)in the studio and on the road, Dale, Andrew and talented drummer Jordi Comstock have proven to be quite the musical powerhouse. The first single off of the album is “She won’t play your game” an upbeat number with a steady rhythm section that automatically entrances the listener and fuels the song along like a steady freight train.

Better late than never

for Abigail Marjorie Lockhart

Well I dont know why you looked at me that way
Im just an old man with not much going on
Nothing left to give no real reason to live
Yet you fell into my arms

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked at me then smiled
said my worlds a better place with you in it
please stay here with me for a while
Dont go
Stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go

The touch of your hand made me understand
that theres life in the old dog yet
Not much I admit but more than I thought
so I thank you so much for the gift

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked
at me in the way that you do
Said youll make a wonderful doctor
if you only just see it on through

Dont go
Stay stay stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go
Abby dont go
Please dont go

I love to dream cause
when I close my eyes to dream
the impossible becomes the reallity

life in the old dog yet

The world probably doesn't need another song about a failed relationship, but this one's quite short, and isn't overly bitter or anything.

Our Time Has Gone

When I'm dreaming it's a flightless flight
We're together the long kiss goodnight
In the misty mountains with a staff and sword
I say hello to your gods and I wave to the Lord
I'm coming swiftly with righteous might
To cut away your tangles it's an endless fight
I'll slay more demons in my sleep tonight
And you'll be back again to say goodnight

All this commotion over ritual 
But it gets me closer cause you never can tell
All the faceless voices and hollow tears
Can't put out the flames or return the years
So I raise my spirit and hold my shield
Until the venomous tongues cry out "I yield"
I could die in the shadows or rise to the light
As long as I'm near you to kiss goodnight

In the misty mountains near the tallest peaks
I lost my brother to our enemies
Forces of darkness still surround his life
They keep on lurking to twist the knife
Come hell or high water gonna bring you home forever young never alone
So I wear my armour and I don the light
To repel dark forces and set things right
And say goodbye

The Long Kiss Goodnight

How were we to know

Blue Earth River

Sun Still Shines.mp3

when their art and scope deny you
and your silver turns to tin
when the doubting overcomes you
and all you see is sin

a subtle invitation can be scented on the wind...
to stand in what has never left you
stand in what you've always been
just stand

when your love for life betrays you
and the dark repose sets in 
when your fighting fists have failed you
and you're waylaid by the din

a subtle invitation can be scented on the wind...
to stand in what has never left you
stand in what you've always been
just stand

it's not the tension on your brow
or tightness in your chest
it's not your most exalted vow
or hunger to be best
it's not the gnashing of your teeth
or anger in your voice
it's not the fancy words you preach
or even your own choice

when a thousand deaths have claimed you
and the lies tattoo your skin 
when there's no one there to see you
and nothing there to win

a subtle invitation can be scented on the wind...
to stand in what has never left you
stand in what you've always been
just stand
