About Me

Ahem...
Once upon a time, there lived a rather handsome, little yellow canary. This little canary always appeared happy and content to those who met him. However, he was not as happy as he may have been perceived. You see, he was having trouble finding a mate. Every morning, he would take a bath in the local bird bath, then, he would groom his shiny, gold feathery coat and set himself up on what he considered to be the best branch in the whole garden. He would then begin to sing. He sang about love and life and stars and all facets of human experience, which is slightly odd being just a humble canary... but he would sing his little heart away all day everyday regardless of the fact he may have had no idea what he was singing about. Unfortunately though, for this little creature, no one was ever around to hear him. The problem wasn’t that he was unappealling to the other canaries, it’s just that there were never any there to see or hear him. Poor little guy. He still sits on his perch this very day, and he will probably be there again tomorrow, and the next day, singing to his own company and hoping...just hoping...
All the tracks up here are Canary recordings or home demo recordings of Canary songs. I do also play in another band I love and a very special band called Yohosie. Yohosie is extraordinarily energetic and fun. If you want to check us out you can find us in my friends.

Spiders

I've always been scared of spiders I think. However just recently, I decided I'd try my best to see the beauty in them like all other creatures. After all, whilst they look pretty sinister it's not li...
