about

Drifting In The Breeze", the album's unapologetically positive lead single boasts Weber's recognizable guitar style and riffs, soaring double tracked vocals, and tastefully supporting keys over Claire's lyrical musings of life and its uncertainties. An instant Coupland classic that begs to be put on repeat - "drifting in the breeze could be what you need / maybe right where you are is not that far from where you wanna be.

lyrics

I know what it's like to put everything aside
for that special, "I love you"
There once was a time he and I were fit to bind
but bound to lose

I thought that I had it all in my hands
but sometimes things just don't go as planned
So for now I'm happy here
drifting in the breeze

I wonder what the day would be like if I had my way
I could do anything
Plan an escapade, board the next train to someplace I've never been

Maybe I'll call up my rock and roll band
drive across the country in a tour van
Either way I like it here
drifting in the breeze

Drifting in the breeze could be what you need
maybe right where you are is not that far from where you wanna be

I've set my sails to steer through the gales whatever I face
but I'm floating on the sand, tied to no plan and no place
So wave to me from the shore, maybe someday I'll be
knocking at your door
Until then I'll be here
drifting in the breeze
