I was in a bit of writing funk after releasing 'Getting Older' in late 2021, probably because that album was put out just before the birth of my son, who selfishly seems to demand so much of my time. Kids these days, right?

But this piece came to me after my family endured Hurricane Fiona without power for 8 days, where my infant son & I both got COVID 19 for the first time. Seeing the damage around us on PEI and feeling utterly weak in every way, AND seeing my baby so helpless, was a very difficult time. I think about it quite often, although I wish I wouldn't.

However, despite all that ruin around us, my quiet life on Prince Edward Island is quite ideal, and I hoped to reflect that in the song as well.

It seemed so closed to being finished, using some sampled piano from BlankFor.ms, but there was something missing. Over the years I've found what works for my singing voice, but COVID and some other health issues left it weakened. Or maybe I'm just not as strong of a singer these days; regardless, I felt that I needed another voice to assist me. Eventually I asked Seyblu to sing on this song, and it truly tied it together. We met in 2017, when she hosted a house concert I played in Toronto above a Pizza Pizza. She's a gifted vocalist and songwriter who put a lot of thought into this song, which I greatly appreciate.

I believe that this will be a part of an EP, but I'm still tidying that up. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy this music.
