Sparks to a Flame

I read on Danielle LaPorte’s site about this artist, Matisyahu, and discovered his record Spark Seekers. His first release is “Sunshine” – video here. Matisyahu is in transition - formerly a Hasidic Jew/Reggae Superstar, who has departed his devotion, and as Danielle wrote, ‘freed himself of his beard and forelocks and black suit’. Cool crossroads story for sure. I really like this single. Thanks Danielle. You rock.

Haunted By Love...

Canadian Dominique Fricot's single Haunted By Love is my new favourite song that I'm playing over and over again. It's got a great guitar - really great vocals...just the type of song I love.


The corner of Cambie and 16th
The crossroads where we’d meet

The Great Lake Swimmers have a new recording....


Look at the names carved into us
Look at the days when they were lit up
Brushing my head and I feel their rage
Years of radiance, years of rain

And the world stops spinnin’ when you stop spinnin’
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the moon on this fell
When I’ll get in I will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale

Certain grounds are water more likely
Translating names of lost families
Somebody’s sleeping and you should not wake
Drifting whispers over their grave

And the world stops spinnin’ when you stop spinnin’
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the moon on this fell
When I’ll get in I will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale

Wide and open spaces
In a sleep along with time
Come to waiting places
Come tonight like all the dreams

I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the moon on this fell
When I’ll get in I will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale

I’m soling in on the great exhale

Today is Whitney's Funeral

Hard to believe still really. Watching this performance of 2009, we could believe Whitney Houston came close to happiness and triumph over her demons. Such a tragic ending. Thank you for your amazing voice Miss Houston.
