about

Featuring the lead vocals of long-time collaborator, producer and bandmate Tim Vesely (Rheostatics, Violet Archers), “Waiting for Good News” is a tribute to family, friendship and hope.

Inspired by the novel "All My Puny Sorrows" (Miriam Toews, 2014), the song was written during a 2019 Music Residency at the Banff Centre for Creativity and the Arts.

lyrics

Standing outside, minus 5
clutching a paper cup
It's almost spring
the river is breaking up

A radio somewhere reaffirms
the world is on the brink
I need your insight
need to know what you think

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

Every conversation weighs
theory versus fact
about how we got here
and how we might get back

Afternoon is overcast
evening's gold and blue
The sky is a metaphor
for me and you

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

Wallet, glasses, keys, phone
I'm ready, ready to go

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news

I'm waiting for good news
I'm waiting for good news
