about

Wrote this one about somehow learning to be the Better Man, about releasing my grudges and letting go of old hurts. I have mostly managed to do that, I am happy to say. Not always, but I'm still trying.

lyrics

words and music by
Blair Packham

When the rent came due
When the bank came calling
When the jig was up
You were off hiding
When it hit the fan
And turned real bad
When the going got rough
You were already gone

And I’m not sorry
Even though I trusted you
And if I think of you at all
I’ll think of you fondly

Well, we had our times
Of ups and downs
But the best of times
Never outweighed the bad
You made your choice
You used your voice
You made it known that
You were blowing town

And I’m not sorry
Even though I trusted you
And if I think of you at all
I’ll think of you fondly

This grudge is a heavy load
And it’s time for me to take the high road
I’ve resolved to be more evolved
Wish me luck!

Well when I find
I’ve got you on my mind
In a one-way rant
I’ll just try to let it go
And if I hear your name
I won’t make a face
I’ll show restraint
And I’ll think good thoughts

No, I’m not sorry...

Blair Packham Toronto, Ontario

New album "The Impossible Dream" coming soon! Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
