Choral Voices, vast as the night sky, just as full of dreaming as of mourning, the Olympic Symphonium from New Brunswick have released their latest single and video recorded at the Wilmot Church. Like Corb Lund (the Truth Comes Out) there's the openness of space and a wind which sweeps down from the Rockies across the prairies thundering its way to the sea beyond.
Graeme Walker says in a press release there’s “an effort to make sense of being made to feel like there is an air of failure or underachieving, when really there isn't. Exploring the idea of getting caught in the trap of how we measure success, the speed of the world today, how we miss opportunities to connect, and how the results can be damaging. The importance of effort and communication, and not taking people and relationships for granted. All of these are themes explored with an undercurrent of optimism and hope.”
