Hi... you don't know me, but I attempted and survived. I shouldn't have. I feel I have a duty to say this to you; It isn't your fault. You didn't fail him. You didn't do anything wrong. That's not your cross to bear. I hope you're holding up alright. I hope you keep pushing forward. It's beautiful to be alive, and I believe in you. Please keep going.
I drunkedly was buying tickets for a show these guys were performing in nyc and they walked in and I was like hey "I'm just scalping your tickets" haha, a pretty memorable experience.
it refers to the legislative government building in Edmonton. It's a pretty cool building with a bunch of parks around it. I remember going to it as a bored teenager at night.
@houses537 You can download all of the 320k MP3's from our HearYa session with Rural Alberta Advantage (4 songs in total) at HearYa.com. Just browse our Live Sessions page. Best of all it's FREE and will sound WAY better than anything at mp3 that vid.com. Mp3's made from a compressed youtube video sound like crap. Thanks for watching.
The "lights at the Leg" refers to the floodlights that illuminate the Alberta Legislature at night. If you stare at them for 30 seconds, then look up, everything appears purple until your eyes re-adjust. Thus the lyric "And we will burn our eyes, Seeking out these purple nights." We used to do the same thing at the Legislature in Winnipeg, the locals refer to it as "Purple City."

My husband sent this to me shortly before he took his life. Oh, Alexander, I miss you. Forever yours.

I blame Canada for showing me how to appreciate lyrics, supreme drumming, and harmony again.
