• Peace of Mind (Jim Fidler)

    From David Dalton@dalton@nfld.com to alt.arts.poetry.comments, rec.arts.poems, alt.music.lyrics, rec.music.makers.songwriting on Thu Nov 9 02:46:40 2023
    From Newsgroup: alt.music.lyrics

    Newfoundland singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and
    producer Jim Fidler is set to release his new rock concept
    album on December 8. I will post a review of the album
    and details on the virtual launch a little closer to the date.

    But for now, the first single off the album, Peace of Mind,
    has just been released. It is a tapestry of sound, including
    some stellar sax work from guest Rory Hoffman, and
    with thought-provoking lyrics. It can be streamed for
    free at https://jimfidler.com/new-single/ but if you like
    it I recommend you buy it directly from the bottom of
    that website for CAN$0.99 (US$0.72, 0.67 Euro, 0.58 pound)
    to support the artist.

    Since it is a rock concept album, it is a departure from
    his earlier reggae, celtic folk, and world music
    repertoire. Much of that early material is also available at https://www.jimfidler.com/ .

    IrCOm not sure if he recorded the lyrics in a stream of
    consciousness live or not, but I think he did. (IrCOll
    check with him on the weekend and follow up
    with the details.)

    I emailed Jim and asked him whether the lyrics were
    a stream of consciousness rCLgift from the etherrCY as
    many of his songs are, and he replied:

    ----------------------------
    Peace of Mind was actually co-written with [his wife] Lillian.

    It's a rare exception in that I think that song contains some of my best lyrics, ever.

    Usually, the best stuff was sent to me, but in this case, it was
    actually very mindfully written; with Lillian's help, of course...

    Plans for the launch are going very well, by the way. It's going to be
    a very special event.

    We hope we get a good turn-out.

    Please spread the word, as best as you can...

    Newfoundland singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and
    producer Jim Fidler is set to release his new rock concept
    album on December 8. I will post a review of the album
    and details on the virtual launch a little closer to the date.

    But for now, the first single off the album, Peace of Mind,
    has just been released. It is a tapestry of sound, including
    some stellar sax work from guest Rory Hoffman, and
    with thought-provoking lyrics. It can be streamed for
    free at https://jimfidler.com/new-single/ but if you like
    it I recommend you buy it directly from the bottom of
    that website for CAN$0.99 (US$0.72, 0.67 Euro, 0.58 pound)
    to support the artist.

    Since it is a rock concept album, it is a departure from
    his earlier reggae, celtic folk, and world music
    repertoire. Much of that early material is also available at https://www.jimfidler.com/ .

    IrCOm not sure if he recorded the lyrics in a stream of
    consciousness live or not, but I think he did. (IrCOll
    check with him on the weekend and follow up
    with the details.)

    I emailed Jim and asked him whether the lyrics were
    a stream of consciousness rCLgift from the etherrCY as
    many of his songs are, and he replied:

    ----------------------------
    Peace of Mind was actually co-written with [his wife] Lillian.

    It's a rare exception in that I think that song contains some of my best lyrics, ever.

    Usually, the best stuff was sent to me, but in this case, it was
    actually very mindfully written; with Lillian's help, of course...

    Plans for the launch are going very well, by the way. It's going to be
    a very special event.

    We hope we get a good turn-out.

    Please spread the word, as best as you can...
    -----------------------------

    I spoke with Jim and Lillian Fidler briefly tonight on Zello
    and they said the virtual launch is shaping up to be a
    very special event. If you are planning on attending it,
    I suggest that you get your tickets as soon as possible,
    preferably by December 6, to give them time to send
    out the link for the livestream. However tickets wonrCOt
    go up in price after December 6. Again they are
    available on https://jimfidler.com/ .

    I was wrong. Tickets will go up to CAN$40 as of Friday morning, to
    encourage people to get them before then, so that Lillian Fidler wonrCOt
    have too much last minute work.
