Here's the rest of it:
===============================

Song: ….14 Karat Gold is surrealistic. It has to do with the relationship,
with the human relationship, what is says is that you don't know everything
there is to know, about everybody else, or about each other, or about anything
for that matter. But what you say is that you're saying that you appreciate
your lady in very positive terms. It's kind of a departure from some of the
other stuff that I've done. Some of this stuff will be rather prevalent on
this record. It's a different kind of texture, and it's a kind of texture that
I've used in this album, at least three or four times, with the bass drum. And
the certain musical approach that we use on it. And it's a song that works
extremely well on stage, because I've sung it many times.

Song: ….In My Fashion is a philosophical song, of which I've attempted to
write many, I don't if I've every really succeeded at it, but I've tried. It
recognizes my responsibilities as a human being, the people I've been very
closely related to in my life, like my family, my relatives, my two kids by my
former marriage, and that sort of thing. It's a sort of song about where you
recognize that you've not cut all…… even though things have not worked out
the way people would have liked to have had them work out, that everything is
being looked after, and things have not just been cast to the wind.

Song: …. Shadows, well, at the time, about six months ago, I really
wasn't sure, if I had everything that I needed to make a great album out of
this thing. That was one of the very best songs that I had, it was just about
the premiere tune that I thought that I had. It was a song that dealt also
with a very special problem that I through in my life, as many people have gone
through. It dealt with nature, and the relationship between the man and the
woman and that whole sort of thing. And, the result of it, I thought the tune
was so darn good that I said "this is going to be my title song" and it still
is.

Song: …. Blackberry Wine is a song that I wrote about 2 or 3 years ago,
which is a lively bright little tune that we have a lot of fun with, which
works very well onstage. It's about a very light topic, as a matter of fact,
it's about drinking if I may be so bold.

Song: …. Heaven Help the Devil. In my quest for topical material, which
is something I always go for in a big way. I like to write topical songs, but
with being a Canadian, I can't really comment upon what happens in other
countries, because, after all, it's none of my business, when you come right
down to it. But that song was written for the hostages, after their return.
And it is a commentary on the fact that they were returned and that everything
was alright. I wanted to prove that I wasn't trying to capitalize on the fact
that they were imprisoned, I didn't want to do that, so I waited until it was
over with. But the idea came to be before they were released.

Song….. Thank you for the Promises. It has the very kind of sort of
romantic type of approach. The music is interesting. The rhythm pattern is
very interesting in it, and it deals with the same type of situation that we
find in a lot of these songs, except that it is done with much more
sophistication. About the relationship between the man and the woman. And
their mutual regard for one another, but mostly both totally "devote to one
another to each other as long as we both shall live" kind of situation. It
reminds me of Leonard Cohen, if anybody influenced a tune like that, I'd say it
would have to have been Leonard Cohen. I was quite a fan of his, for a number
of years, still am.

Song….. Baby Step Back. If I were to tell you the story behind that song
you wouldn't even believe me. I was out playing golf one day, with my
brother-in-law, Bob Ayers up in Orillia, whose name is credited on the album,
by the way. And it came time to go on the first tee, and he said "either step
up or step back" and that was where that song originated.

Song….. All I'm After, it was one of the very last songs that I wrote for the
album. And it was one of the last songs that made it into the roster. It has
a certain thing about it that is very nice. It's also written in 6/8 time,
which is sort of an interesting to get into, I've done it before but have not
been successful. It deals with the human relationship, and how honesty pays
because if you're not honest, you're going to have to pay for it somewhere down
the road.

Song…. The song Triangle. The song was written, specifically, about the
Bermuda Triangle. And it …. I've actually known someone who got lost down
there, in my life, I've known a person who disappeared down there. I think
what it is, is a system of wind and rocks that causes these things to happen
down there - some folks say that it's extra-uhhh-terrestrial…. So what I did
was try to make a general blanket statement about it. And it's a completely
philosophical song - it's a sea chantey. Of which I've written many, as a
matter of fact, one day, I would like a whole album of sea-songs, and songs
about the water, I'd like to have them all "published" on one album.

Song… I'll do Anything. Probably, I would think, would have been my "most
unlikely to succeed" but, the guitar work and everything that has gone into the
song has made it very acceptable. It would be the closest thing to a country
song that we have on this record.

Song….. She's not the Same. This one is our "mystery tune." It's a song
about unrequited love, and I consider it to be a very good song.
