back I'm Learning How (To Fall In Love With You Again) I used to run across broken ring songs when playing in a traditional music band years ago (my favourite was “Germaine” by a group named Garolou.) They are usually quite ancient beautiful songs of 2 lovers torn apart, usually because of some war. As these wars often lasted many years each lover took a half of a ring as a symbol of their undying love, (and possibly a way they might recognize each other when they next met as these wars could sometimes go on for many years, and you know they didn’t have eyeglasses and hearing aids back then…) All kidding aside, I have relatives who have lived with the aftermath of war and sometimes the person who comes home, never gets to be the person he once was, ever again. I can only imagine what kind of adjustment someone coming home from the hell in Iraq must make these dayshopefully, someday, our leaders will be more farsighted...I wrote this song as a modern take on this old theme. Sean Kemp must be mentioned for the very cool violin section on this piece. He is a big part of my live show. His wife Isabelle Fournier also plays on string parts. She is with the Nova Scotia Symphony.
