Montreal is the opening track of our album Beyond! It was written after a trip I took to Canada. Destination was Halifax and I got stuck in a snow storm which meant I had to lay over in Montreal. Normally a flight cancellation leads to a lot of distress and general frustration but this wasn’t that! I was surprised by my Iranian family who he hadn’t seen in 15 years and I even ended up on national news and had a magical night in a beautiful city. Or so I think… it was covered in about 6ft of snow so I’ll have to take a trip over again!!<\/p>\n
