Hi Our Basement,
However devastating and tragic things may seem within this life, no component of it or of yourself is truly hopeless.
My new song, “Hopeless,” is more a documentation of a feeling than it is a reflection of my true state of being. It’s a reminder to acknowledge that no matter what you have to work through in your life, you’re still here to sing about it.
“Hopeless” is off of Miasma, my forthcoming debut LP.
It features appearances by some great musicians like Daniel Romano, Aaron Goldstein, Aaron Comeau, Carleigh Aikins, and Arif Mirabdolbaghi. Aaron Goldstein also produced the album, while the record was mixed by the talented Christopher Stringer, and mastered by Grammy-nominee Philip Shaw Bova.
The long and short of it is, no matter how painful things might feel, there is always a way to work through it.
You are never alone in your human experience. Everyone is fighting the good fight.

Hello
Hi, how are things?
Things are not three bad. How’s life in Ottawa?
Good morning. I hope to never lose all hope.
I liked that track.
Things are fairly quiet here. Still coolish and overcast. We may have had two 20 degree days up to now. Waiting for milder stuff.
Yeah, sounds accomplished, this recording.
Weather update for Regina: It will be another 26 C day here and going up to 31 C tomorrow. We need rain, it is so dry.
It’s 15°c and cloudy here right now but we are due to reach a balmy 17°c with rain tomorrow
I just bought tickets for Jeremy Dutcher with the Regina Symphony Orchestra show in October. I had to make sure I had tickets for that one!
Today is my last day to get my Polaris Music Prize votes in. Tough decisions!
I’m just glad it’s not me having to choose
@darbar I was peeking at Jeremy Dutcher in Vancouver but I have a lot of other moving pieces in my life right now so I did not get the ticket. I am glad you did. That is going to be a stellar show with the symphony and all.
I am taking a break from the morning yard work. It is coming together nicely. mr morgana has taken the truck to get a scoop of top soil and a few little things while I have some down time. I have yet to finish unpacking from Vancouver but that can wait until after I nap … or tonight … or tomorrow;)
thank you all for your input on Tiny Lights picks. Figuring out my strategy is another project for tonight. I have to make sure to minimize my moving venues so I don’t burn out.
Keegan has an interesting voice … it could grow on me. I certainly do like the instrumental component and look forward to the LP.

At the end of the article there is a review of Holly Hyat’s latest offering. Our friend plays sax on it. Local scenery to enjoy as well.
Hello Morgana! Rest up my friend. Good to have a plan for festivals but stay flexible. I would rather enjoy music that wasn’t my first choice than stand in a line.
@darbar agreed, totally leaving room for spontaneity! It is frustrating to have to plan so much but it is the only way I can more or less make sure I don’t run out of steam.
Oh planning is important! You need to have at least a rough idea and optimize for your time and energy.
