"When Evening Never Came" is a nostalgic anthem lamenting the loss of childhood's boundless freedom and wonder, a time when days felt endless and unburdened by adult responsibilities. The song contrasts that pure, "dirt and dreams" past with the "grind" of modern life, where societal pressures and the "rush" have replaced genuine peace and play. Ultimately, it expresses a deep longing to reconnect with that fearless, authentic inner self that still remembers a time before the "clocks" and the "storm" took over.

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
