Search - Scott Orr :: Miles From Today

Transforming lyrics and melodies into vivid snapshots of life, Scott Orr releases his second offering, Miles From Today! This self-produced, folk-rock album displays both ambition and obsession from the Canadian singer/songwriter. This twelve-song album builds on the foundation of the organic, acoustic melodies and unassuming vocals of Orr s previous efforts. The light-hearted, love-won-love-lost themes are still present on songs like; Love Is A Dream and Wondergirl . But Orr surveys the landscape of social justice and pain, as well, in moments like, Don t Want To See That Again a track inspired by the experiences of Orr's post-Katrina visit to New Orleans. The forthcoming release boasts a host of wonderfully unique songs that reveal maturity and growth in Orr s writing. That s how the record took over a year to make," Orr explains. "It was really important to me not to just settle with a song if I wasn't one hundred percent happy with it. A testament to his obsession of perfection was evident when the album's last song, I ll Wait for You was written and recorded just three days before the album was sent off to Nashville to be mastered.
