Alan Lee - Going Home
Alan Lee is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter.
He was the co-founder and lead singer of Longstreet Crossing,
a Toronto folk trio that performed in the early to mid-nineties.
As a songwriter and lead guitarist, he was featured on their
1995 album. These days, Alan pursues a full-time career as
both an actor and a musician.
Story
In the back street of the city that I used
to live in, rose a star so bright to be blinding. Now I remember
your smile that night. La, da, La, da, da, da” the alley
cats sang, chewing on bones, thrown out by the nine fingered
chef. “Go home!” he yells at them. The look on
their faces reminds me of you, thrown out with the trash,
and that star cries Lucy and weeps as it begins to fall. I
was wrong blaming it all on the sky, some of it comes from
below, fast like hatred, unlike love which is slow. Sobering
up those fat cats, chase a painted horse down 22nd Street.
Pass a band playing pots and pans like children do. I run
out of the alley just in time to see the sun rise on a fool
waking up.
Thank you . . .
 This
album could not have been completed without the talents and
energy of so many. Thanks to all my musicians who played more
the role of magicians in their parts played out here. All
your magic is so near. A special thanks to our families and
friends, to Mom and Dad, Kerri and Kev, and the Hannas: all
your support has been colossal. Thanks to all the folks at
VirtuallyAmerican.com for helping us “get it out there”.
Also to Dave Misener at Blank Spaces Recording Studios for
salvaging these sounds and creating a great mix. Thanks to
Jesse and Mike for teaching me how to make an album, to G.
for overseeing the whole process with superb wit and wisdom,
to all the friends and friendly neighbours in the beach. Lastly,
to all those who continue to encourage and support my work.
Lots of love, Al.
