Coffee Spoons...

The first CD I ever bought was purchased using change I'd saved and collected for nearly a month. I was so excited to make my way through the doors of the record store with an actual mission at hand, and not just to browse around. I was 13 years old, and the CD was "Clumsy" by Our Lady Peace. The singer, Raine Maida, had a voice that captivated me and pulled me into every song. I listened to that album over and over again until it wouldn't play anymore. I've actually bought that same album twice more since then as replacements. Last year Raine Maida released a solo album entitled "The Hunter's Lullaby", an album in which every song encourages you to feel what he felt while writing it. I encourage you to view his website at www.rainemaida.net. The following is a video in which Raine has documented himself raising money on the streets of Toronto to build a school for children in the Congo, it's paired with the song "Yellow Brick Road" from his album.
