Lighting Fires

Grant McLennan

17 May 2006

Thanks to everybody who has sent me articles about Grant McLennan. Clearly the rippling impact of his death is not only being felt by fans like myself, but also critics and the world-wide community of musicians who knew him or were influenced by him. Thom Jurek's article, Like a Ghost: Remembering Grant McLennan at allmusic.com sums it up perfectly.    

“…the silence that Grant McLennan leaves in the world of pop music is a roaring one, an unfillable void in its creative heart.”

​When I finally got around to picking up McLennan's second solo album from 1993 earlier this year(!) I couldn't get over how catchy all the songs were, but also how familiar many of them sounded. Familiar, as in “wasn't this a big hit?” Sadly the answer was always “No, but it should have been.”


The Happy Medium Song of the Day is from the album Fireboy. It should have been a hit. It's called “Lighting Fires.”
