Here’s a Canadian song writer and performer that will set you back on your heels and force you to sit and listen to his insightful lyrics.
David Myles hails from New Brunswick and now lives in Halifax. He has a total of eight albums to his credit and is busy these days on a tour with the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra. Learn more about this amazing Maritime talent: davidmyles.com
To provide you a hint of Myles’ genius, here are the chorus from two of our favourite songs that demand special attention. (Click on the title and enjoy the YouTube video)
I’m getting old but I’m not old yet
I’m already worried that I might forget
How to laugh, how to love
How to live, how to learn
I want to die with a smile when it comes my turn
Cause we all walk in a pair of shoes
We all hope that we bounce more than we bruise
And it don’t matter how much you spend
It only matters in the end
That your soul don’t wear right through
