    Poetic lyrics quest for the essential question in life over Sean Eyre’s irresistible drum loop and a guitar hook in the chorus that won’t let you go. Quite folky in lyrical content however the bass line and African drum samples create an upbeat tune that makes you wanna dance barefoot in the grass.

    Story Behind the Song
    Must be the Irish in me but so much of life is a question, isn’t it? And the questions
    drive the quest and the quest leads not to an answer but to another question and even
    the essential question leaves me wanting the quest... so perhaps it is the quest that is
    the answer???

    First wrote this song driving across Canada looking for estranged relatives from my
    mother's side of the family. Rewrote the lyric content significantly shortly before
    recording it.

    Lyrics
    1000 Questions

    If I look into my family tree travel far as the eye can see
    will I find the truth? can I handle all the tragedy?
    and when the dying leaves dance across the autumn frost
    it reminds me of all the loved ones I’ve lost
    and I wonder do the winds of change
    heal the wounded heart?
    and is time a warrior who breaks
    our walls apart?

    And if I drive across this country
    looking for some answers
    and I find a thousand questions
    will I get what I am after?
    If I ask a thousand questions
    am I closer to wisdom?

    So, when we meet our maker do we lose our hate?
    Is my life already written is there such a thing as fate?
    And there’s a universe of stars
    in the freckles on my body
    am I some kind of map for a whole ‘nother galaxy?
    or perhaps I am the sky
    in a completely new dimension
    peopled with beings whose firmament
    is my skin...

    And if I drive across this country
    looking for some answers
    and I find a thousand questions
    will I get what I am after?
    If I ask a thousand questions
    am I closer to wisdom?

    And if we had to kiss the ground for food
    like the grazing beasts
    would we treat the earth as sacred
    do you think we’d have more peace?
