About slowmotion

I began writing this song on a beach in Guatemala just after I had decided to leave the music industry behind a few years ago. It is a metaphorical piece about my relationship with music. In writing it, I was promising myself that if I were ever to re-engage this relationship it would be on my own terms, not the industry’s. Matt and I found that we both had this outlook as we began to work on the Lazybones CD, so finishing Slowmotion was easy. And the decision to give all proceeds from its release to WarChild Canada, instead of to a record label, or to line our own pockets, was obvious to us.
