about

I sold Encyclopedias and Coupons door to door for awhile when I was very young and had quit University to pursue my songwriting endeavors. It was a horrible job between cold calling apartments in seedy high rises and dodging the creepy bosses who seemed to think it was ok to hit on and intimidate a 19 years old employee. I was alone in Toronto and my family across the country in Calgary. I began to escape to the subway stations during my seemingly endless days. I'd get on the train and just ride and ride around again and again, occasionally getting off to go drink anonymously in some unknown neighbourhood. Anything to avoid my terrifying and depressing reality. That was a time before the words Anxiety and Depression were commonplace. Now looking back and owning my reality of living with an Anxiety Disorder, I look fondly back on my hours spent on the Bloor and Yonge lines, which helped me cope, escape, and survive the panic attacks that I didn't know I was having.

lyrics

BLASTING AWAY Suzanne de Bussac 2018

Every now and then I hear a distant conversation
Saying meet me at the station at half three
Bring some luck and twenty bucks we’ll have a conversation
Talk is cheap these days and time is free

We’ll settle into nowhere get our heads around this minute
Stay until we’re finished versus late
Get outside the neighbourhood, become a stranger’s visit
Get drunk fall down and cry until we’re straight

Blasting away … leave it for another day
Blasting away … blasting past this frantic state
The great escape

Leave the rings the rugs the rabbits foot and paraphernalia
Leave all the creature comforts that you clutch
Leave the books the cars the keys
The carpets, cards and planners
Because where we’re going things won’t get you much

We’ll get onto that train and take a trip out to the desert
Ride into the sunset…disappear
Head out to the wilderness, get naked with the Maker
Gonna find out what the hell we’re doing here

Blasting away … leave it for another day
Blasting away … blasting past this frantic state
The great escape

Yeah baby let’s take a train ride to the other side
Release ourselves from here
Hit the lonely old road we will roam all alone
We will roam and we’ll roam until we find our way home
And the lonely old road disappears

Every now and then I hear a distant conversation
Saying meet me at the station at half three
Bring some luck and twenty bucks, we’ll have a conversation
Talk is cheap these days and I am free

Blasting away
