Songs of the Week: February 17 - 23, 2025
“Save My Life” by Hawksley Workman
New Hawksley Music Alert!
Was pleasantly surprised and equally happy to see that Hawksley Workman has new music coming! Also excited to see that the first track released, “Save My Life”, had a video with none other than Mounties bandmate Steve Bays in the directors chair. That’s fitting as he also co-wrote and co-produced the song - busy man!
Hawksley said the song is “confident, optimistic, and everything we need right now. We wrote this with a sense of urgency.”
Get ready to have the whistling part of it stuck in your head - this one’s an ear worm!

“Daylight” by Basia Bulat
Last Friday, Basia Bulat released her newest album, Basia’s Palace, and dropped the brand new single to celebrate.
“Daylight” is as lush and gorgeous as the rest of the album, with Basia explaining: “I wrote so much of this album in the middle of the night, when it felt like the world of dreams and the ‘real world’ were finding moments to meet. I realized how much I had separated the two and wanted to invite that space between them to get smaller. This song became a way to remind myself to ‘consciously’ invite that energy in more, and evolved into a meditation on showing compassion to yourself through exploring your dreams.”
You can pick up the album now, and watch out for Basia Bulat on tour starting next month, with a stop here in Vancouver at the Hollywood Theatre on April 30th!
