DESCRIPTION:
Kris Demeanor - “I Have Seen the Future” (The Guilt and the Shame, 2007): Before he was named Calgary’s first Poet Laureate in 2012, Kris Demeanor put out six CDs that blend indie pop and spoken word. Poets are supposed to be like a mirror (or something… it’s been a while since we studied this stuff in high school), and Demeanor’s mirror isn’t afraid of reflecting the ugly things in our city. This song reminds us that even on the most beautiful day, that ugliness is lurking just around the corner.

Arranged and played by Kenna Burima (kennaburima.com) on the Calgary Tower carillon as part of One Yellow Rabbit's 2016 High Performance Rodeo and the Calgary Songs Project (http://www.calgarycassettes.org/p/calgary-songs-project.html).
