The show at Gus' wasn't too bad @guspubandgrill @barringtons.band

A lot of people say that the songs I write are sad. That's not wrong, but I prefer to see most of them as deeply happy. It's been a beautiful 5 years Big thank yous to: @thebasementhalifax @pablo.schinke @estudio.bira @danmaccormack @kimdunnpiano @fangrecording

PSA: The ALBUM IS OUT TODAY. Go listen to it. Go save it. Go listen to the whole thing. DO NOT put it on shuffle, please God. Thank you 🙏🏻

My latest song, the title track of my record, is a personal and vulnerable work for me that mixes mystic and existentialist philosophy. Link in bio of course. Lyrics and story to the song below 👇🏻 Photo cred: @prairie2seaphotography "When will it all begin? My being happy Been waiting all my life Yet my life has waited on me "Then I'm pushed through the world And the world is dancing with me And what a fool I am To think I could never see "The life worth living Living in me A life worth living And still I want more" Sometimes I catch myself chasing things. And I catch myself thinking that once I attain the things I'm chasing, I'll finally be happy. "Once I finish school, then I'll be happy." "I just have to start releasing my music, and then I'll be happy." For me it's been easy to think a meaningful life is just a couple steps around the corner. But then at other times, when I'm perhaps wiser and more sober, I realize how foolish that is. Because this is it. Life isn't anywhere but right here, happening right now. It's already working through you and happening inside of you. The only catch is that the forces working through you will also never resolve. Because life never does and it's never meant to. It always "goes on." But that's okay because that's what makes the process of living so beautiful.

Shout out to the Lebanese Festival @lebanesefestival

Title track from the upcoming record "A Life Worth Living"

Meant to post this a while ago, but I was very fortunate to be accompanied by great performers @dthomp7273 , @sashamartinmaher , and @roddiemacinnis . Shout out to their talents and strong efforts.

True Happiness "Happiness always catches you by surprise Loneliness, I am looking you in the eyes I don't know where I am from or where at all I've been I'm lost inside the vast expanse of birth, death, and what's in between When I came to be isn't clear to me. I can't remember when I was small It was my self that came along when I was yay but 2 feet tall Have you felt those times when fate took you by the hand? Showed you joy, showed you pain; a revelatory master plan Where it ends and where it starts in some sense is arbitrary For up and down come back around always, indefinitely Happiness always catches me by surprise Loneliness, I am looking you in the eyes" Video credit: @carreauburns

This one took a while. (I started putting it together maybe four years ago.) But I finished it up rather fast late last year by doing what I usually do — by taking an autobiographical approach — and was happy to be able to share it in Quebec last month. Apologies to those who speak French well for my poor speaking and pronunciation. I put the equivalent English lyrics in subtitles. Credit to @shirley.liu0228 again for the recording — thank you so much. Lyrics below 👇🏻 To Be Through Fire You came to me through fire And I walked that desert land But now I'm trudging through a mire Could you lend a helping hand? I need you I really want to see you Should I feel smaller? Closer to the ground Closer to your door Like a child without the cosmic plan Then you remind me who I am You remind me of what I am I came to be through fire Ensconced in marble wire A little bit secure Then "vovohu," formless water I need you I really want to see you Should I feel smaller? Closer to the ground Closer to your door Like a child without the cosmic plan Then you remind me who I am You remind me what I am And who you are I came to be through fire You came to me through fire I came to be through fire You came to me through fire
