Steve Welch Ontario

Merci à Isabelle Biledeau pour l’incroyable traduction de ma chanson "Love Travels Far" My love travels far Mon amour voyage Like rays from the sun Rayons de soleil When I'm gone, Le long sommeil, And burnt out like a star Comme l'étoile un mirage Love travels far Mon amour voyage

A journey in Algonquin Park is a metaphor for life. The song "Upland" sprung like a geyser from the film "Algonquin Park Western Uplands Trail Top Loop Jam", one of four instrumental musical outdoor adventure documentaries released from the summer of 2020. I put some words to the music to try to capture the joy and hardship sandwich that tripping in the wild brings. "Heading Upland where we go, with a plan..." "The survivor looks and learns..."

This song emerged from an instrumental documentary film "French River Jam". It turned into a song of it's own. "Seems So". its a celebration of living an adventurous life, with the Earth (mother) as your guide, inspired by the French River, Georgian Bay, and my brother Dave.

This video combines original footage from the Quinnault Rainforest in Washington State, from Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada, and the Valley Of Fire in Nevada with open source video clips to tell the story. "Love Travels Far" tells the story that love, like light, travels far and wide once released into the world. The light from a star travels across the universe and sometimes outlives the star where it came from - just like how love works here on Earth. Love Travels Far is an original song and video by Steve Welch.

"More Time" is a song written a few years ago in Kawartha Lakes Ontario, and recently recorded. While filming for the video along the banks of the Speed River in Guelph, a beautiful Bald Eagle took flight into the falling snow. Such is the beauty and wonder of the land.

Sometimes we feel that there's no hope, and the days to come seem dark. The air is thick and choking, the fire has found it's spark. But when the rain comes down, with a sweet and luscious sound The land it seems to be thankful. The land it seems to be grateful. Things are growing all around. The new day is now bright - like spotting a lighthouse in the night A cool breeze comes off the lakeshore - brings fresh air and a summer rain. Pray for rain

"Things Are Happening" is a song about hope for the future. No matter how bleak the media presents the world to us ("they talk and they talk and they talk and they talk - always on the verge of disaster, searching the world for death and destruction, but never the reason"), good things are always brewing in the background, things that are often not noticed or talked about, until they yield their fruit down the road. Things Are Happening always.

An original song by Steve Welch celebrating life and the glorious inspiration all around us - with footage from Ontario, Florida, Hawaii and more. Whitecaps roll brightly on dark water Energy in form leaps up to catch the sun Waves press on in rhythm Like a steady drum

A silent stream runs through my mind Somehow it leaves everything behind stream of consciousness
