about

Someone very dear to me was raped a few months ago. All I could think about was plotting my revenge. The police arrested and charged the perpetrator but the carnal side of me still longed for some old fashioned justice.

When I talked to friends and colleagues about what happened I was shocked by the number of women who immediately shared their story of abuse or sexual assault with me.

Prey is my shout out to all men to do better and to remind the predators that we're coming for them.

It's time!

lyrics

Lyrics:

Now I've heard too many stories
From the women in my life
Their tales not of glory
But abuse, assault and strife

Now their memories they shall not fade
Those are moments set in stone
They have been betrayed
But their strength it has grown

Chorus:
Now you may seek redemption
You may kneel and pray
They'll call you a Predator
But in my dreams, you'll be my Prey

Now in biblical times this would be easy
I'd stone you and burn your sins away
Now that may make some queasy
But it would bring me peace for a day

The cops say you're not the worst
For they've seen so many things
But that don't ease my thirst
It makes me want to sing

Chorus

Bridge:
It's time to do better
Time to rise up
Time to call them out
Brothers...it's time

Chorus

Andy fell into music the year he was turning 50. He blames it all on Murray Foster of the Toronto Songwriting School. He says, “Murray is like a crack dealer...he gets you in the door and surrounds you with his great community of songwriters. After a 2 hour lyric writing class you’re hooked and crave more.” ... more
