about

About the song…

Fireblind goes out to Lucas, Tim, Simon, Dave, Pete, Dan, Kepler, Justin, Zack, Andrew, Alex, Rob, Luke, and Asif… my dearest friends. These are my tight bros from way back when. Some of the happiest moments of my life have been spent with these fine folk, in various assemblages, sharing memories, jokes, song and drink around the campfire.

Fireblind is a song about enjoying the comfort of friends, in particular old friends who have grown up beside you and who know you better than you know yourself. It is about never making the mistake of taking them for granted, for there is truly no substitute.

I am blessed to have so many dear friends, and am doubly lucky to have three of them in my band. Lucas, Simon and Tim, on top of being fine, fine musicians, are the best friends a fellow a could hope for. To my beloved Nautical Miles- thank you!

About the artwork…

Jeff Mark (study), was created by an amazing multi-media artist by the name of Tyler Brett. I have been a fan of Tyler’s work for a long time, and when we started this project I knew that I wanted to include a piece of his. When I saw this image, it reminded me immediately of summertime, drunken boating excursions with my dearest friends. We often end up looking a lot like Mr Mark. I asked Tyler if we could use this image for Fireblind, and he graciously agreed.

Tyler’s band, The Dept played the very first Corbin Murdoch and the Nautical Miles show, back in 2003. Tyler is a formidable talent. On top of The Dept, he is the co-founder of collaborative architecture project T&T, and the owner/operator of allcitizens.org and handmodel.ca. Next time you are in Bruno, Saskatchewan, be sure to drop by All Citizens and say hello.
