about

[coronadrop #11 in a series of previously unreleased songs—released here daily—until the quarantine is over or i run out of decent unreleased songs]

so i was living in a rental apartment down the street from a shopping mall in south durham when i wrote this misty-eyed fantasia of my previous life in hipster parkdale.

i had been living in NC for barely a couple of months and i had just opened hayden’s sold-out show in chapel hill (by invitation!)

in hindsight i can’t imagine a more flattering or ungrateful thank you than this song. i mean, who doesn’t want to sit at the table with the cool kids, right?

i never did anything with this track because i wasn’t sure what it—or i—even meant to say by it, or how it would be taken. i had recently been excommunicated by my long-time guitarist after moving down here, and perhaps i thought i couldn’t afford to lose (or annoy) what remaining toronto friends i had.

eventually i dusted it off and added a big bunch of mass chorus vocals for a 2017 “best of” record that i (surprise!) dropped the ball on.

ugh, i hate this massively oversaturated mix, but it’s the only mix i’ve got.
