Our Basement,
I want to talk about heartbreak – not in a selective way.
I want to air the complexities of loving and leaving a person, of missing and aching while leaning into freedom. I want the catharsis of figuratively digging my fingernails into my skin and feeling a sharp pain with relief quick to follow.
A year ago, I went through a really tumultuous relationship. I dated this girl for a year and a half, and she completely manipulated my brain into thinking I am not who I am. She brought out probably the worst sides of me that I have ever seen – I wasn’t myself.
I can’t write happy music all the time. I must pull from past emotions to create new music and to resonate with what people are going through. Not everyone is happy all the time. You can have a married artist—I’m engaged—but I’m still writing breakup songs.
This one’s for the girl who cried wolf so many times, she began to believe her own lies.
Thanks for listening and supporting! 🖤
Good day! Clear and fresh in Ottawa (4 C at night!).
Yesterday’s “wood work” at the family cottage went well — when you deal with a tree or two, it’s not just the trunk: it’s about all them branches! Lots! And more! Oh, and there’s more over there… And still more…
Those were two fallen trees, so it was quite a mess. Took two sessions to clear it all. Good exercise, that. Bit of future firewood too.
Hello
I am sitting in sunny England watching the rain (and some cycling) in Italy while working on next weeks radio show
“Sunny England”…
Sunny England is a fantasy land
Good Morning,
Sounds like you had a good day yesterday Benoît.
Scott, yes, productive. Just about every week I go up there and do stuff. Usually my muscles etc. feel it afterwards — I don’t sling a heavy chainsaw and stack wood every day — but it does keep me in shape. So, no complaints.
My day started quickly today. I was barely awake meandering in the yard and inspecting the transplants I put in yesterday (five or a six a day then I don’t over do it) when the crew showed up to start restaining the cedar fence. It rained last night (yippee!!!!) so I did not think they were coming. Nothing had been moved out of the way for them. I did my best to help get the space ready, mostly magic finger pointing. I have set up my Spotify and wireless speaker in the yard for them. I don’t think Bob Marley or Jethro Tull have ever been played on my devices. Gotta keep them working away happily and as we know music is key.
I am sure they appreciate the music!
Good day all! It is a rainy day here on the prairies today. I hope we get more than just a few drops though. We sure could use it.
The write up for this single is intrigued me. I tried to listen but nothing is going in. I am going to have to listen later. I am so wiped out today. Must nap.
enjoy your nap Morgana
It’s not my cuppa tea.
Helloooooooooo
Hmmm, not my jam.
The 45 minute nap after the 30 minute maintenance massage was PB and Jam! I am almost human again.
I am listening to the two new Begonia tunes instead. Yup, she is more my style.
