Hey Our Basement,

We’ve all had nights we never want to end.
When the morning comes, I try to let that mood trickle over.

I met a guy after a great show and it felt like I was on top of the world. We had a whirlwind of an evening but in the morning, he was gone and the buzz from the night before had settled.

My new song, “‘Til the Morning,” is about tipping your hat to the night before and going about a brand new day.

“‘Til the Morning” was produced by Montreal duo Pops & Poolboy. It was recorded in the middle of summer at my home studio after going sober for a month. There was an ease to recording this one – not only was my voice in good shape, but I had a clear approach to the song. We kept the very first take. I remember my friend Simone came over after the session and we just sat on my balcony in the sunshine, listening to Poolboy mix the tune through an open window.

I make an effort to find pleasure in what can be mundane day-to-day activities, but sometimes it’s all about kicking off your shoes the moment you come home.

Thanks for listening!
Claire Ridgely
