This song is a special one. Every artist says that about their songs, but this one in particular hit a chord with fans when we released it as a single in 2023. We received a lot more direct feedback than usual from strangers and friends alike about this one; I guess the straightforwardness of the lyrics and simplicity of the instrumentation have everything to do with that.
This particular performance was exceptional for a few reasons: our drummer, Scott, made a special appearance with us for the first time since 2019. We played a show inside a cafe in Guelph, Ontario to a room full of friendly, caffeinated music-lovers. And finally, at the end of the song, I burst into tears! (That hasn't happened since an especially emotional house show we put on way back in 2010.) When I reached the following lyric, looked at our friend (powerhouse punk poet Earl Wyvern) and Earl was crying:
Use your money
To protect me
Feed and house me
Listen to me
There's more to me
Than what you see
I'm not empty
And that was it! I was toast.
My dear friend Carmel Davieau (Scott's partner) also happened to capture this little moment between Earl and me at the end of the song on her camera, for which I am so grateful. Thank you, Carmel.
So, please enjoy this truly special live performance of a song that is close to many hearts.
