Listen to my soundtrack
It's changed yet again. I have heard this song Run From Safety by Octoberman many a time whist listening to CBC Radio 3 online. Today I just happened to really focus on the lyrics, and I was captivated by the comparisons between my own life and the lyrics. Those of you who know me well know of my love for "double entendres." My despising of Winnipeg's habit of making mountains out of mole hills (fun mountain, ahem!). But that's just the beginning.
This proof I'm awake, this truth I can't break.
I'm also particularly fond of the line:
Judges and juries, convene in a hurry/
but there's no need to worry, cause this sentence can't hurt me./
And though the powers they've got, oh they seem like a lot/
but it just ain't enough to snuff the meaning for this stuff.
Coming out has been a Run From Safety. Won't you come back home, some people ask? Well I don't think so. As long as we run from safety, we'll find our way out here maybe.
Octoberman - Run From Safety

It's playing on the all-Canadian indie-pop channel 52 ("The Verge"), on XM satellite radio as I type. I've heard it a hundred times, and something about it makes me tear up most every time. "Title Track" by Amos the Transparent, another Canadian act, also gets to me. You Canadians have so many damned fine musicians these days: The New Pornographers, Arcade Fire, Tegan and Sara, Feist, Hinterland, and dozens of others. Check out the YouTube live video for "Run from Safety":

Being Canadian and having this pool of unique talent most definitely makes me feel proud.
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for sharing the youtube links!
