Talking To Myself

In addiction recovery circles, people often say “Treat the trauma,” a phrase coined by
writer Gabor Mate, who spent many years working with addicts in the Downtown
Eastside of Vancouver. In “Aspirin for the Soul”, songwriter Francis Baptiste, grapples
with this idea of treating the trauma. Not everyone understands their own trauma, and
those who do often aren’t sure of how to treat it.

Baptiste has spent his entire life struggling with addiction, whether on his home Indian
Reservation as a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band, or in East Vancouver, where
he’s lived the last twenty years. He’s spent countless hours in talking circles, AA
meetings, and various treatment programs, trying to navigate a sea of trauma. “Aspirin
for the Soul” is about the struggle of not knowing how to treat the trauma, but instead
opting to numb the pain with substances, because as Baptiste says “I don’t know how
to fix my heartache, but I know how to fix a hangover.”

“Aspirin for the Soul” is the first single from Baptiste’s upcoming third studio album
titled Lived Experience in East Vancouver. The song and album focus on Baptiste’s
struggles with addiction and the drug and recovery culture that exists where he lives in
East Vancouver. The album, recorded at 604 Studios, features performances from
many Vancouver artists including Emmett Jerome, Wallgrin, Camellia Grove, Mike
Allen (of Five Alarm Funk),

This album features some jazz, quasi classical, inspirational, New Age. "Go, Fly Far " inspires you to let go and fly away toward new discoveries, love, art, travel etc. The music lifts you up and then gently brings you down.  I was asked to write in a meditative style and produce a couple. of pieces. Steady Beneath The Song, Still The Focus Within. Try them! See if you can be in the moment till the music stops! I hope you enjoy my music as much as I enjoy creating and playing it.

Let Go,Fly Far
