APRIL WINE Legend MYLES GOODWYN Streaming New Song "Some Of These Children (They Never Grew Up)" Ahead Of New Album, Long Pants; Video
Multi-Platinum selling and award-winning Hall of Fame producer, songwriter, and artist, Myles Goodwyn, relays a sombre and striking statement on the residential school system in his new song, “Some Of These Children (They Never Grew Up)", available now.
“It’s a personal response by Jim Henman and I to the recent finding of unmarked graves of Indigenous children in Canada,” Goodwyn shares of his long-time collaborator, with whom he also started the iconic rock band, April Wine, with in 1969. “We felt like making a statement regarding the discovery of these graves, and this song is that statement.”
The song’s heart wrenching subject lands within an incredibly personal connection to the Halifax-based artist, he adds. “My life partner, Kim, is native Sioux Assiniboine, and her mother was a survivor of the ‘assimilation’ attempts by the Federal government and the Catholic Church to ‘remove the savage from the Indian.’ I have felt her pain as more and more bodies of these unfortunate children are discovered.”
“Some Of These Children (They Never Grew Up)” follows Goodwyn’s other recent offering, “Will the Last Voice I Hear Be an Angel”, his first-ever spiritual song, it captivates with thoughtful reflections around life lived, and mortality.
The songs arrive ahead of Goodwyn’s forthcoming recording project, Long Pants; a collection of his most personal songs to date, the new full-length is set to dive deep into the masterful musician’s extensive and previously unreleased archives, with one song’s origins even dating back 40 years.
“The ‘oldest’ new song on the album, ‘Forever Amber,’ was written four decades ago,” Goodwyn shares. “I wrote it for my daughter, Amber, on the very night she was born.
“Long Pants will also feature a song I’ve written for each of my three children,” he continues. “‘Talk to Me’ was written for my son, Aaron, and is about love, and the importance of communication between a child and their parents. And ‘Over the Moon’ was written when I learned my younger boy, Cary, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It’s a serious and chronic disease, and the song is one of love, understanding, optimism — which is an important message of hope and love to all children and parents dealing with diabetes.”
It’s a robust release traversing G
