Strangers
Jack wrote the riff for Strangers in B minor a while back. I added some lyrics and we put a melody together. The song is based on my French/Irish ancestors on the Gervais side who came to Quebec in the sixteen thirties.
This recording features acoustic guitar and vocals by me with a dash of synthesizer in the second part. Jack does harmony and plays the lead/background electric guitar. Devon S is on bass. Dave T is on drums.

The western wall is gone
The rest will fall at dawn
From shore to rocky shore
All the way to Hudson's Bay
We go 'cause we want more
