Building Bridges
Building bridges with Oshawa’s Boris Buhot Dave Grohl’s Sonic Highways TV series is on my mind. Grohl and his band, Foo Fighters, recorded their latest album in various studios in American cities, cities that have their own unique musical heritage. They document the journeys and interview key players in whichever city is being spotlighted. I like it a lot and not just because I agree with Dave’s premise that place informs...
We’ve Got To Change
We’ve Got To Change – written by Boris Buhot, performed on the album 1041 as United Truce People don’t realize, About the little things. That keeps this earth alive, Birds stop to sing. Snow leopard skin, Tacked up in your dive. People getting thin, How will they survive? Deforestation, Pollution out of control, Overpopulation, Killing us all. Lay awake at night, Thinking of our fate, Why can’t we make it all right now?...
It’s A Shame
It’s A Shame – written by Boris Buhot as performed on the album 1041, as United Truce People running by, “Hi how ya do’in?” Moving without care, unaware of what they ruin. They don’t stop to say hello, they don’t stop to say goodbye. Trying to figure out about the big hurry, Scurrying feet shout, without any worries. They don’t stop to say hello, and they don’t stop to say goodbye. And It’s a shame, it’s a...

Petrified Race
Petrified Race by Boris Buhot as performed on the album 1041 as United Truce People treat me wrong, cause they can’t see for what I am They can never start to think just from the heart Feeling kind of sorry for myself but I don’t care anymore Cause I’m in love with you, and I’m by your side, And we’ll be in love forever Trying to keep a job when they get tough enough to find, They laid me off the docks right from the start. Feeling...
We’ll Be Flying
WE’LL Be Flying by Boris Buhot as performed on the album 1041 as United Truce I hate the way time is passing I can’t pretend anymore, I wrote this song Keep me alive, Feed me something Tax the air, free my soul Find a place, don’t be surrounded Call it home, the call of home Where’s the fun, desires left What’s the point, can’t be long, Can’t be long, Way to cool to make a stif Way to soon to call it quits Follow me, Don’t get...
Rainy Tuesday
Rainy Tuesday by Boris Buhot as performed on the album 1041 as United Truce Sneaky tricky crafty weasel, schizophrenic bits of lethal, poisons in a bottle marked beware Metal eyeballs razor gleaming, malicious observation steaming, adoring what lay wasted and bare. Fondled nightmares relishing remorse, has a stick with sin spike teeth, contemplating shadows to be cast. Cobwebs dissolve in its breath, it’s fingers poke in baby’s heads,...
The Queen
The Queen written by Boris Buhot, as performed on the album 1041 by United Truce Wearing that stiff upper lip all the time, Showing a smile to help tow the line. But I hope that she feels, Well I hope that she feels. Where on earth did you come from? Striking a pose with such stoic aplomb. But I hope that she feels, Well I hope that she feels, Well I hope that she feels, Deep inside. I want to hold and shelter your...
