My former Dear Love band mate, Mike Barnaby, co-wrote a lovely tune in response to a recent spate of tragedies that have taken place in Nova Scotia. He recruited a number of east coast vocalists to perform it, and invited me to be involved as well. I am glad to have contributed the string arrangement and grateful to have been a small part of it.

My friend Mike released a fantastic new EP recently, and I’m proud to have contributed some backing vocals to its opening track Caesura. (Snapped and designed the feature image on this post as well).
(more…)Nobody Breaks My Heart (Music)
In 2015, I randomly discovered a track called Nobody Breaks My Heart by Architekt — a UK-based duo of producers — while browsing Soundcloud. With the help of producer Kevin Pooler, I remixed the track and scribbled some lyrics and melody down to create this version.
NOBODY BREAKS MY HEART by Dave Rideout
you could call me iced over
couldn’t get any colder
if you’d stand on the ocean
a heartbeat in slow motion
i could take you where you’ve never been
and walk you out across a thinning
promise of something i’m not
even though i am all of your thoughts
every step you take im a little deeper
every word we say i fall out from beneath you
i’m scared to let you in
cause i don’t even know myself
but i know just what you want
and it’s pulling me apart
cause i told you from the start
nobody breaks my heart
once you’re down here with me and
the surface is frozen
don’t look back to where you came from
cause everything’s distorted
that’s when you start missing things
everything you could’ve been
instead you’re shivering and
i’ve already numbed
so much you may not warm me
and though you’ve had your warning
you said that i look lonely
drifting in the dark
