about

These long form pieces are becoming my favourite kind of song to write. It was originally a lot longer than this. It features Devin Townsend on vocals and a bunch of other instruments.

I first heard of metal/prog/ambient auteur Devin Townsend when a few of my tracks showed up on one of his Spotify playlists a couple of years ago. Then out of the blue, I get a message from him. He talked about how one of my songs ‘Can You Hear the Sound’ defined an important personal moment for him and would I be OK if he created his own song out of it?

It was such a nice, self-effacing message. Obviously, I was going to say yes. There are many different ways to gauge success, so when one artist loves your song enough to want to recreate it, I’m taking that as a big win.

A few months later I worked up the courage to ask him if he’d play some guitar on one of my new songs. I didn’t think of it as a quid pro quo, and hoped he wouldn’t either. A few weeks later, not only did I get back a guitar track, but also vocals with perfect harmonies and effects, acoustic and electric guitars AND keyboards. So much more than I was expecting. The guy is a machine! And I loved all of it.

So honoured to have Devin play on my song.

lyrics

Devin's words:
say that you will
say that you won't
stay the night
stay
you say that you will
I know that you won't
we sang the last song
I know you are free

Wow. After I heard “You Are Everything”, I agreed with Steve that there was no way you could possibly top that masterpiece. I don't think you did, but with this album, I'd say you equalled it. David-Olivier
