Canadian singer-songwriter is nothing if not prolific. He has averaged a new album every year and a half over the course of his 27-year career.
Today’s random selection comes from his 13th studio release, 2015’s Carousel One. Perhaps no track better illustrates Sexsmith’s relentlessness as a songwriter than this one, which is about him not being able to leave the house because he’s too busy writing new songs.
Every morning brings another song
With a melody to develop
Morning, before the light is gone
I hear on the bustling sidewalk
Better keep on with my keeping on
If I am on a bus that’s piled up
Working till the light is gone
Street car rolling
And the people on
For me I was scrawling
With a head full of songs
I feel like a fainting flower
Dreaming of when we were young
Trying to fill every waking hour with meaning before the light is gone
The rain kept falling
A weekend long
Me I was scrawling
With a head full of songs
Well I tried to keep myself from feeling like I don’t belong
Let’s see what this life is so welcome
Feeling, before the light is gone
I’m all in, before the light is gone
All day, before the light is gone
Meet Me In Montauk 
Is the next track about what he had for dinner that night?🤪
I am happy to learn more about this singer-songwriter. I love his song “Gold In Them Hills” and also “G-d Loves Everyone.” Thank you!
