My Fake Life

Step inside a strange little world of music, masks, memory, humour and hurt. My Fake Life is a 23-track concept album built from songs, videos, lyrics, artwork — and the odd uncomfortable truth.

The Album

Every version of me, moving through the bruise.

My Fake Life is a record about being caught — by mirrors, by memory, by the quieter things that watch when no one is supposed to be watching. It moves between the accusation and the apology, the laugh and the wound, the easy way and the hard way, until the mask slips and what is left is the song.

Recorded between rooms. Mixed by candle. Mastered for the late hour.

The Bus is now boarding

Songs, Stories, Signals.

CannaBusTeD writes from the edge of a room nobody else bothered to turn the lamp on in. The songs arrive the way weather does — late, certain, smelling of where they have been.

He has spent most of his life noticing what passes for ordinary, and refusing to let it. The songs on My Fake Life were written across nights, journeys, kitchens and corridors — wherever a small honest sentence could be coaxed into staying still long enough to be sung.

The Bus is a way of travelling between them. It carries the signal. It boards anyone who is listening.

Quotable Lyric Tag Lines

lines that wouldn't leave the room

“The room I'm building now has never charged me for the entry.”
— Where I Fit
“Like the echo of applause that fades before it finds the rafters.”
— Where I Fit
“I smiled, like they'd explained the weather to a matchstick.”
— Where I Fit
“Every version of me, moving through the bruise.”
— Every Version Of Me
“Doesn't fall too far behind.”
— Where I Fit
“I write to make sense of the noise.”
