Well I crashed my fancy car I saved my old guitar Hoping that it Make you smile in the morning Everybody’s looking for something But I don’t want nothing But you Fuck all the money But I used to be a honey bee Sittin’ in the shade of the Moneytree Now I’m Yung Clay Di Salvio please to meet ya Nothing is what it seems, oh best believe me We climbed up to the roof One pill red the other blue Deux c’est mieux pour rester fou Smooth criminal count your hundreds Everybody’s looking for something But I don’t want nothing But you Walk home Sitting on the kitchen floor Pretending we we’re British All our friends got kids But we we’re busy fucking naming our sailboat Do-that-that-do-do-do-that-that Well I drove into the sunset You watched me crash Talk to me now I’m sober Left the old me in Lisbon Don’t push me cuz I’m close to the edge Didn’t want to drown without anyone around If I learnt one thing from Mac I fall in love too easily it’s true There ain’t nothing new under the sun Everybody’s looking for someone Say Everybody’s looking for something Everybody’s looking for something But I don’t want nothing But you Fuck all the money

about

It’s always been an unspoken rule in Quebec that, when it comes to money, well, you don’t talk about it.

Instead, Clay and Friends made a whole record about it. It’s called Loonie.

We pushed our van from one show to another, drank sweat for breakfast and emptied colorful bottles for supper before anyone heard a note of La Musica Popular de Verdun. Little did we know, these were the makings of what the future had in store.

A few houses & a couple of shiny records later, a few things have changed. Cha-ching.

To put it simply, we found the Moneytree and burnt it down. What happened in between, drove us Loonie.

We now know: nothing good comes easy. With the wind in our sails, and the whole of Verdun behind us, we’re setting out to conquer the world.

Listen closely to this bite-sized offering and you’ll hear distinct notes of what’s to come for the quintet. Throw your coins in the jukebox for a heavy-dose of dripped out funk and soulful business from Clay And Friends.

We’ve returned from this trip with more questions than we’ve answered but, we all know that’s the price to pay.

Till then, Time is Loonie.

Au Québec, il y a toujours eu une règle tacite voulant que lorsqu'il s'agit d'argent, on n'en parle pas.

C’est pourquoi Clay and Friends en a fait un projet sur le sujet. Il s'intitule Loonie.

Nous avons poussé notre van d'un concert à l'autre, bu de la sueur au petit déjeuner et vidé des bouteilles colorées au souper avant que quiconque n'entende une note de La Musica Popular de Verdun. Nous étions loin de nous douter qu'il s'agissait là des prémices de ce que l’avenir nous réservait.

Quelques maisons d’acheter et des chansons à succès plus tard, certaines choses ont changé. Cha-ching.

Pour faire simple, nous avons trouvé le Moneytree et nous l'avons brûlé. Ce qui s'est passé entre-temps nous a fait perdre la tête.

Nous savons maintenant que rien de bon ne vient facilement. Avec le vent dans les voiles et Verdun dans notre back, Clay and Friend part à la conquête du monde.

Écoutez attentivement ces riches petites pièces et vous entendrez les notes distinctes de ce qui attend le quintet dans un futur rapproché. Insérez vos pièces dans le juke-box pour une bonne dose de funk dégoulinant et de soulful business de la part de Clay and Friends.

Nous sommes revenus de ce voyage avec plus de questions que de réponses, mais savons pertinemment que c'est le prix à payer.

D’ici-là, Time is Loonie.
