"Escaping" is a song about the secrets that you keep inside. Forget the past and leap forward. Don't look back, it's not worth your time.” - Favours

“This idea of coming home to yourself after losing yourself in a world of disillusionment. The point when you realize everything you need is already within yourself. Letting go of all that isn't you, to rediscover who you are.” - Ellyn Woods, Baile

“This song marks a deep dive into my changing thoughts about nostalgia, seeing it change from cozy romanticism to toxic waste." - Scott Hardware

Live Slow Die Wise - Geoffroy

Slowcity.ca Open Mic with Slow Leaves, Sean Burns & Lost Country, Emily Rockarts, Caley Thomas, Riches, Austra and PUP

Don’t you just love how a song can grab you and swirl you ‘round the dance floor and you’re not even moving but still on the couch. We love all things slow here but we love love Slow Leaves. Just when you think you are a jaded old coot, a song still holds the power to awaken the youth within, willing to be thrilled so thrill me Slow Leaves thrill me.

“In a sense, I’m preoccupied with the past, perhaps at the detriment of the present. I’m not great at looking ahead. Naturally, I miss certain things and certain people. I guess that’s life.” - Grant Davidson

“I think we can become preoccupied with trying to do someone else's work for them as a means of avoiding our own self-reflection." - Cayley Thomas
