Paul Chaput, from the Old Lovers liner notes:
"As true relationship takes a backseat to manipulation and control, partners experience a corresponding loss of freedom. Instead of seeking within for the honesty and courage to plunge together into the abyss of intimacy, partners blame each other, become estranged and often seek solace elsewhere.
The relationship between the two-leggeds and the Earth Mother is no different except that, to date, there is no real solace to be found on Mars, the moon, or any other planet in our system. This is it!
The more we run amok in our efforts to control and dominate Nature - the more our behaviour towards each other is coloured by tyrannical traits. The increasing trend towards alienation in families and communities can be directly linked to our determination to insulate ourselves from Nature.
Living in harmony with Nature simultaneously fosters a respect for all Creation and a clear sense of interdependence, security, and peace. The path of harmony is not always comfortable or easy, but it is sound and proven.
My sincere thanks, to all who supported me in the creation of this project. En particuliers un gros merici a Julie Bergeron mon amour et ma muse. To Paul Mills, a great producer, collaborator and renaissance man; it has been an honour to work with you. And my gratitude to yet another renaissance main and master of design, Paolo green.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Canada Council of the Arts and the Metis Nation of Ontario for their financial support of this musical adventure."
