about

Clay Orange has been crafting his unique sound for his whole adult life. As a busking musician living a transient life moving all across Canada working odd jobs, performing small gigs in run down bars, living hand to mouth and taking in this Northern continent in all of its extremes from the road.
He's putting a fresh distilled sound to the table; blending new age alt country Appalachian folk, psych, indie and bluegrass sound reminiscent of the genre’s early pioneers and legends with an array of countless other rich influences that seep through the imperfect cracks of the songs.

Star was originally a song titled “I just want to be a dog”, written one summer afternoon when Clay Orange was gearing up to go to work and his dog was lazily basking in the backyard sunlight.

After further tinkering, Clay realized that there are two sides to this song's story, and there’s another part of him that wants to get up and make something happen. He wants to be something.

In the end, it became clear that as much as he likes dogs, he’d rather be your star.

lyrics

Star

In the morning fog
Yeah I gotta start my job
But I just wanna be your star
I just wanna be your star

Can we take it back to the start
Before we ever even grew apart
Before we got so far
Ya I just wanna be your star

I lost sight of who I am
I wanna love I know I can
But when the night comes again
I just wanna be your star

Well I know we gotta turn the page
We gotta grow into a different phase
Before our memories drift away
I just wanna be your star
