I'm more of a songwriter than a performer...it's the creative writing process I love. This is a collection of basement song demos I've assembled over the past few years. Most are pretty simple & straightforward, usually a couple of acoustic guitar tracks and vocal. I'll be adding songs as time allows. They tend to be family or nature-oriented, and focus on parenting, family life and related foibles. Hope you're into it. Also, I do commercial voice overs. If you're in need of a smooth baritone voice with distinctive tone and balance, I'd be yer guy. ;-) You can find me online at VoicesOnCall.com & Voice123.com. I'm also a freelance advertising/marketing copywriter, broadcast producer and strategist. Stop by my www.timperrycreative.com if you're so inclined! and Audio Production for Any Size Project

Story behind the song
This song came out of a backpacking trip I took with my son to Lake Superior Provincial Park. Basement demo.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Moments before daybreak, mist is on the rise The stillness hanging fragile as a leaf. Nothing’s in a hurry, whether feathered, scaled or furry My tattered soul comes here for sweet relief. I wish that I could capture the magic of this lake Pack it up and bring it home with me. Save it for a day when peace seems far away. And the only wish within me is to flee. Chorus 1: Superior laughs, Superior weeps. Superior wakes, Superior sleeps Sends its water spillin’ out the Locks. Superior gloats, Superior brews Superior floats my old canoe Superior waves, Superior shores, Superior rocks. Verse 2: I imagine being the first to look upon this inland sea. The power of its broad and deep expanse. I wonder if my eyes could fully understand the scene Would I look at it in fear or confidence? Granite shores and ancient lore, mariners now lost Endless evergreens on the horizon. The struggles of the early ones echo from the past As I’m drawn into this blazing summer dawn. Chorus 1: Superior laughs, Superior weeps. Superior wakes, Superior sleeps Sends its water spillin’ out the Locks. Superior gloats, Superior brews Superior floats my old canoe Superior waves, Superior shores, Superior rocks. Bridge: From Gargantua, north to Thunder Bay…… The Keweenaw, east past Grand Marais….. Cold and deep and framed by ancient bluffs…… Antiquity close enough to touch. Chorus 2 (different): Superior rocks, Superior rolls. Superior courses thru my soul Mighty current cleanses with a shock. Superior wakes, Superior sleeps What Superior takes, Superior keeps. Superior rips, Superior roars, Superior rocks.
