wearing a hole through my pocket
sun in my eyes laying me flat
spinning a wheel in slow motion
asleep at the gate in the back
sixteen
sixteen stares
float the deck in a teenage daydream
scrape my palm again and again
i never learn when i walk away easy
they never tell just how far it bends
come up to hollywood and selma
come up to 15th n JFK
all your friends are waiting there for ya
none of this lasts as we fade away
sixteen
sixteen stares
the part
of this
comes quick
and painless
leaving it up
tossing a die
picking a stone
to hold on to
what i could change?
what i became
would it have made
you want to
try to stay together for the kids
it's easier to forget about yourself
and what's good about you
it's cool and sunny outside
so why the fuck am i
near asleep again this afternoon
best plans
laid out
rough sketch
no painting
adrift
apart
bereft
it's telling
daughter or son
flat or a house
credit or debt
we'll make it
what could we change?
what all becomes
would this have made
a difference
try to stay together for the kids
remember what i loved about you
when we met before the mortgage
piano lessons marriage counsellors
in our separate beds
until i leave and take the boys to school
sitting with the engine running
you'll never find another half to make you whole
am i terrified of being alone?
did you ever love me?
will you ever forgive me?

RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 28, 2024
(An introduction to Aidan Knight: As a songwriter, performer and producer based on Vancouver Island, Aidan has released 3 critically acclaimed albums (Versicolour, Small Reveal, and Each Other), toured with artists like Half Moon Run, Andy Shauf, James Vincent McMorrow, Villagers, Dan Mangan and more. Since the release of his 3rd LP (Each Other) he’s moved to Berlin and back, begun a home base studio for his production work, and celebrated the birth of his son with Julia, his wife and longtime creative partner)
Here are his own words on the new recording, produced and recorded by Aidan:
Gotta say that I thought 2024 would be a much different world to release a new record into. Not like this, but it's been 4 years since Each Other - Streaming continues to grow in influence, bands are being asked not to simply write and perform but to curate playlists, merchandise, and do their own accounting. Dystopian fiction is selling. And yet, many things haven't dramatically changed - the climate crisis continues to elude politicians, songwriters and performers who labour to create all music still haven’t seized the means of production, and I still enjoy a bowl of cereal now and then.
I remember waking up in a tent after playing Glastonbury when Brexit happened in 2016. Loading-in at First Avenue in Minneapolis the night Prince died. Rescuing a hedgehog in Rotterdam after having a panic attack on stage. So many memories filed away at the time. I stopped drinking in 2017, stopped self-sabotaging and started recording new music in our 2 bedroom apartment. We moved in July of 2018 after 9 years there. Predictably, I panicked and thought about scrapping the entire record because I was extremely sad and couldn't tell anyone. Self improvement isn't always linear I suppose. You can falter and yet all's not lost.
I'm sure I won't be the last singer-songwriter to mine the depths of their ennui, depression and suffering for lyrics but these 12 songs are also some of the clearest and most shameful memories I have. When you feel horribly exposed but calm singing a line for the first time, you know it's right. Domestic bliss, unrelenting loneliness, death, love, taxing the rich, new life, the splendour of nature, renovating the basement, misunderstanding your parents, gender, body negativity – Y’know, stuff that sells.
In short, this is a modern record that borrows from a long history of techniques and songwriters that have inspired me. Every writer loves their newest thing, so it's redundant to say that I'm proud of these songs and think they are my best work yet. So, without further ado, I hope this music finds you healthy and ready to create a better world than it is right now.
