Mouse 03:03
I’ve been coming down for so long now All my treasures buried tightly by the river bend I’ve been acting a fool I am the mouse in your house Stop all your wishing I’ll take all my clippings and go All of these people are calling you crazy Well, go/know/throw We’ll all fall down the same road We all fall down the same road Just fall down the same road And call my name on the telephone All my brown sugar has melted I fall off the top shelf and… I was the mouse in your house I was the mouse in your house I was the mouse in your house I was the mouse in your house

about

I wrote these songs about falling in love while growing up and how scary it can feel.

This album was written, recorded and mastered between the summer days and winter nights of April 1st, 2020 - July 8th, 2021. I recorded these songs alone in my shoe-box appartment downtown Calgary, by myself at my family ranch in the Porcupine Hills (Flintrock Ranch), and with my best-friends Eric Cinnamon, Connor HD, John Buck, Jesse Shire, at BuckingJam Palace as well as Eric's apartment. We then went to The National Music Centre to mix the record behind Eric Cinnamon in Control Room A centred around a historic Trident (Triad) A Range Console.
