    "Life As A Lover" is my new album, produced by JUNO nominee Howie Beck. It's a collection of songs about relationships, family and living life fully. The CD comes in a lovely gatefold card case, with artwork and design by Cheryl Cheung and photography by Emma-Lee. Includes a lyric booklet. The design was achieved by getting ink prints of my hands and manipulating them.

lyrics

She packed the car and caravaned across the desert
she brought her children from Baghdad into Cairo
some stayed there for forty years and raised a family
some fled early, found themselves near Tel Aviv

All their homelands, all their dreams
they had their moments, but now it seems it’s been eternity
it’s our moment
but can you reminisce over bagels and tea with me?

She would sit there motionless, silent for hours
Until one of her granddaughters asked a question
“Tell me, Nonna, dearest Nonna, how you married
Was it love and did you dance until daylight?”

All her homelands, all her dreams
he was a kind man, and she wore his ring as she was expected to
but she might have loved him
that’s how they remenisce over bagels and tea ‘bout you

All my homelands, all my dreams
I’m now my own man, but soon I’ll seem watered down too
they won’t know me
those who’ll remenisce over bagels and tea with you
