about

I didn't intend to make an album about dads, because I didn't expect to lose mine. I wrote this song in 2013, about my friend Scott, whose dad died in a fire in Kenora. I thought about it a lot, after it happened. Sometimes you start burning a thought and then the world just starts bringing you more kindling, even when you were ready to stop thinking about it. That's kinda what happened with this album.

lyrics

Things I don't think enough about, candleflame don't fizzle out. My friend Scott lost his dad, house burned down and that was that. I only met him once I think. Went to a Jays game, had a drink. He worked out on the railroad. He wasn't particularly old. Scott's grown into a quiet man. I should call him, if I can. But time goes by and it gets hard and quiet men they grow apart. If we don't ever talk again, Scott, I'm sorry you lost your old man, and I'll think about you both, now and then.
