Hi Folks,
Just wanted to share a blog post that was brought to my attention recently. It was written by someone after coming to my CD release for ‘Still Mind Still’ at the Great Hall in Toronto at the beginning of June.
I sometimes struggle to find my place ‘out there’ in the big bad music industry, not really being ‘pop’ enough or ‘cool’ enough but riding this line of singing about the stuff that I feel is important and not letting too many bells and whistles get in the way of the message. I don’t know exactly where I fit in, but I do know that every night that I get to play my songs and connect with people, I feel amazing, I feel like I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing, and all the incredible interactions that come out of all those shows, all the people who open up to me and welcome me into their hearts and minds, that’s the fabric of my life. And it’s a rich life.
I think people are good, I really do. I think life is very hard and very complicated, and bad things happen every day, but I think that most people are good, mean well, and genuinely care about the people around them. And I think that for all the bad things that happen every day, the ratio of good happening is immeasurably higher. So, there you go, that’s what I sing about, it comes from an honest place, call it sentimental, call it whatever you want, I’m at peace with it. It’s just nice to feel that on that night, someone really got it.
To whoever wrote this, thank you. Take care, Peter
n.b. Just a slight note that she listed that it was a CD release for ‘First of the Last to Know’ when it was in fact for ‘Still Mind Still’. Minor error, just to not lead to any confusion.
