Try Drama 03:52
Maybe the things that thrilled me at 14 years old Don't thrill me no more Maybe I've moved beyond it towards things More relatable No more of this horror, I move towards the light No more of this horror, I'm taking back the night What about drama? What about romantic comedies? So many options I enjoy a documentary Something with deeper meaning Something more human feeling What about Doctors? What about their struggles and stories? What about Lawyers? And tales of infidelity Stories than don't involve killers Yes to the yuppies no to the fear thrillers Reality. Humanity. A return to normalcy Something to see. Some light viewing Slow moving stories relaxing me Life is more healthy When interests are varied The past I will bury I'm tired of what's scary What of the children? Cuz growing up is not easy All of their struggles Dramatized to amuse you and me Something to tug on our heart strings - heart strings Musicals where the whole cast sings - cast sings Reality. Humanity. A return to normalcy Morons, Infidels, and fools Tobey in Cider House Rules Rejecting Who I Was Before Horror, Horror, NO MORE

about

In the mid 90s I was in a band you've never heard of that didn't really work for a million reasons, all of them valid.
The first guitarist in that band was Trevor Shand. When putting this band together, I accidentally saw him playing a
matinee show with some band at Saw Video in Ottawa and I was immediately blown away. This guy was next level good.
We got together soon after and Trevor continued to keep me interested with his playing and sense of humor.
I'd never really heard anyone play like him. A very particular and unique style and sound, and it really resonated with me.
We were all young, excitable and stupid, and that band never really accomplished what it was trying to do with the music.
Near the end, as the year 2000 was approaching, some of us tried to give it one last shot, but the shot never ignited and it stopped.

On a recent trip to my parents house in Canada, I was forced to go through 20 years of storage in their basement that was damaged by
a flood and throw bins and bins of junk and history away, but I found many cassette tapes, including a tape of songs intended for that
last shot. I went through it and got excited about it again. I decided immediately to rescue one of these songs off that old
cassette and bring it back. I wrote lyrics for the thing and you can hear it on this record.

I didn't send it to Trevor until it was finished. I had no idea what he'd think but he was excited!
Remember, this tape was recorded by Trevor on a tape machine in 1997/98 alone in Boston as a demo, never to be released.
Well, now it is, and I'm excited to have finally collaborated with Trevor, unbeknownst to him, on a Major Entertainer song!
