about

I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. And, it's still lovingly my home. Though every time winter rolls around, I sometimes dream of heading somewhere warmer.

I wrote My Sweet Alberta for the All Albertan Song Contest back in 2015. Enjoy!

lyrics

My sweet Alberta, you can be so cruel
Your northern winds chill to the bone
Numb me through and through
But my sweet Alberta, when I see your big blue skies
It's like I'm falling in love, all over again, for the first time

I love you then I hate you
I stay and then I leave
Your moody, sullen seasons
Are all the reason that I need
You taunt me and tease me
With your beauty and your splendor
Your sunny disposition
Makes it hard to remember
Your less than favourable weather

My sweet Alberta, you're so trying don't you know?
From October's end to the middle of May, your icy side shows
But my sweet Alberta, when you reach the month of June
From sun up til moon down, I can't get enough of you

I love you then I hate you
I stay and then I leave
Your moody, sullen seasons
Are all the reason that I need
You taunt me and tease me
With your beauty and your splendor
Your sunny disposition
Makes it hard to remember
That time it was minus 35 for all of
December

My sweet Alberta, as glacial as you can be
Your July heat is blinding, suffocating and plain mean
But my sweet Alberta, where would I be without you?
A lonely lonesome soul, singing the Alberta blues

I love you then I hate you
I stay and then I leave
Your moody, sullen seasons
are all the reason that I need
You taunt me and tease me
With your beauty and your splendor
And the way you drag on, all winter long
Makes it hard to remember
That it will ever again be summer

I think we get along so well
'cause I'm cantankerous as hell
So, even when I can't stand you
You'll always be my tried and true

I love you then I hate you
I stay and then I leave
Your moody sullen seasons
Are all the reason that I need
You taunt me and tease me
With your beauty and your splendor
Your sunny disposition
Makes it hard to remember
Your less than favorable weather
Eight months out of the year
