“To Go Home” was written about a news story I read about children in Haiti being abducted and sold as slaves or sex trade workers after the earthquake. |

| Foxes In Fiction – Snow Angels Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
“Snow Angels” was hugely inspired by Angelo Badalamenti’s original music in the television show Twin Peaks, which I got the DVD box set for for Christmas from my Mom. It’s meant to kind of be a cheesy slow dance pop song. The lyrics are about friendship, and the effects of winter on my state of mind.
I usually change the lyrics every time I perform this song live. |

| Foxes In Fiction – New Panic Cure Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
“New Panic Cure” is an alternate version of an older song called “Panic Cure Dub” which was written about a series of inside jokes made up the first time I met my friend Tyson regarding emotional issues. Five of us were sitting in my bed after having spent the whole night partying at my house together and he said something along the lines of “I would really like a manicure”, and I said “I would really like a panic cure”. Hilarity ensued and I promised I would write a song called Panic Cure. My bed frame broke about 5 minutes later. The original version contains cut up samples of a song he and I improvised and recorded together.

| Foxes In Fiction – Jimi Bleachball Lyrics

“Jimi Bleachball” was written and recorded for a video project I had to do for one of my classes at OCAD. I shot the video first and then got a feel for what would fit well with it, then recorded the song. The lyrics around about a summer I had in 2006 that I shared with three close friends that changed my life. I think everyone’s kind of got a summer like that. |

| Foxes In Fiction – 15 Ativan (Song For Erika) Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
The music for “15 Ativan (Song for Erika)” was written in early 2009 for my friend Erika Altosaar and is based on the opening two chords of “Femme Fatale” by the Velvet Underground. The lyrics were written on stage during an early Foxes in Fiction performance one day after hearing about a friend of mine who had overdosed on anti-anxiety medication the night before and called a friend to take her to the hospital. The lyrics are sort of an invented perspective / interpretation of that event.

This is unbelievably affecting song. It didn't really catch me within the first few weeks of listening to it but I think it's actually my favourite. |

Amazing song, my favourite off Logos.
I think this song has to do with resisting temptation, and wondering if it is worth it. |

Quite possibly one of my favourite rock songs ever. Nothing but pure, raw, improvised rock and roll. It's too bad not many people have heard this. |
