Well we have been working on this little number for a while!  
I sent a rough, very basic track to Finn last summer, just some chords really.  @finn_eces weaved his magic, wrote the lyrics, and a song within a song, and sent back this amazing folk-rock opera.  
We spent some time, shooting it back and forth, grappling with it's size, but we finally realised it needed to get bigger or go home.  So we turned to @dairv-dubbleyew and he helped rev it up all the way to 11!!

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

Lyrics;-
Long ago on a Japanese Island
The Mother Monkey
Decided to wash the
Dirt away from the sweet potato 
This time before they ate

The other families saw this
And started to do the same
Soon enough it spread
Through the Nation
To other Islands

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

And as the people 
Start to realise
They’ve been in Prison
They’ve been Hypnotised 

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

Lyrics:

Undivided, don’t look away
Or close your eyes

Undivided, do not fall 
for the pretty lies

Undivided, see the truth,
No false, designs

Undivided, don’t be swayed
By fear or desire

Undivided, there’s a reason
Behind it all

Undivided, take what comes
Accept the call

Undivided, come what may
You cannot fall

Be forever righteous
and unbreakable

The way of heaven
flows through it all

Drop all expectations
It will be revealed

Life flows on forever,
Immaterial

Let go of 
all anger

Don’t join issues or make demands

Free from
Pain and fear

A strong foundation
Will help you stand

Calm through any 
danger

It will work out
In the end

Undivided, don’t look away
Or close your eyes

Undivided, do not fall 
for the pretty lies

Undivided, see the truth,
No false, designs

Undivided, don’t be swayed
By fear or desire

Undivided, there’s a reason
Behind it all

Undivided, take what comes
Accept the call

Undivided, come what may
You cannot fall

Undivided, don’t look away
Or close your eyes

This is a song that we co-wrote, a simple love ballad that includes a brief piano/electric guitar duet between verses. The subject is self-explanatory. A belated Happy Valentines wish before February melts into the Saint Patrick’s season!

Lyrics:

Of all the things I ever held
Of all that's wrong and right
Nothing makes me smile like you
Or hold onto so tight
Of all the time that filled my eyes
The days I’ve sifted through
What could make me more alive
Than time I spent with you
And nothing hurts as much as missing you

If heaven was a place to find
It’s always been in you
Like a secret key you turned
I opened up to you 
And like an angel bathed me in your light, you made me whole..
Of all the places I have been 
I’ve never felt more home 
I miss your laughter and your hand in mine, 
And I will love you far beyond our time

Nothing Like You

*These lyrics were very spontaneous and based on the feeling of the music during the process of fleshing out the song idea... which is open to interpretation.
Hope you find some enjoyment out of it.* ❤️

Lyrics:
I can only be here so long,
this I know is true.
Mother Nature has her plans, 
her hands on me and you.
I don't have the answers,
I was hoping that you do.
~
I just called to see if you,
feel like I do.
~
I've lost my faith again,
in the clouds where it's raining.
~
Everyday I'm looking out,
I'm wondering what's real.
Everything you said to me,
was signed, up and sealed.
Wondering why you took,
so long to get back.
~
Everything you ever did,
seems to be wrong.
~~
I've lost my face again,
in the clouds where it's raining.
~~~
Memory is a funny thing,
how it's lost within a dream.
Was it worth remembering,
or did we just let go?
~~~~
Memory is a funny thing,
how it's lost within a dream.
Was it worth remembering,
or did we just let go?
~~~~~
I can only be here so long,
this I know is true.

Mother Nature

I knew at an early age that music would be a part of my life forever. In music I found my self-esteem and a way to make people feel. I began singing in public at nine years old and playing drums at thirteen.  In the tenth grade I auditioned to play drums and percussion with the South Georgia College and got the "gig". I performed in many musical productions there until I graduated high school and joined the army.  I continued performing in the NCO clubs while serving.
After obtaining the G.I. Bill I attended the University of South Carolina, where I played with several local bands. In 1982 I graduated college and taught special education until retirement last May. There, I witnessed the magic of music through my students.
I now enjoy the peace and solitude of a farm in the middle of "God's Country" here in Tennessee. With much help from family and friends, I am able to share my original songs with you.
I sincerely thank you for taking a bit of your time with me. I hope you receive a blessing from a song or two and as you listen, I hope you hear my heart in each and every one.  Tony
