A modern Canadian roots-pop songster. From the stages of the world, to the CD players of your living room; “You are drawn in by his words. But it is his voice
Just take one listen to George Birchall, and you'll know you've found someone different. After years of honing his songwriting skills, Birchall is stepping into the spotlight with his debut album "Restless Soul". Each song is a work unto itself that swells and cowers, rocks and rolls, and that inevitably leads you to some place mystical - somewhere you’ve never been before. George’s life has taken him from his home in the Ottawa Valley to coffeehouses in Toronto, to South East Asia where inspiration came by the boatload, to living in a self sufficient cabin deep in the woods. George writes about the world around him, the dark winter nights, the frozen water pipes, and of the people who have drifted in and out of his life. Stepping into the consciousness of people who like good music and away from the average block-buster-bore, “Restless Soul” is a rootsy folk-pop collection of Canadiana that shifts gears from up tempo campfire sing-alongs like “Down for the Count” and “Television” to the Tom Waits-ish ballad, “Chopping Wood”. From the stages of the world, to the CD players of your living room; “You are drawn in by his words. But it is his voice that wins you over”

Lyrics
Down For The Count Written by: G. Birchall Keep talking, you said you were proud, keep talking you said it out loud. Hold your head high, word to your mother Cheers to you, dinner in your honour. CHORUS: Don’t be the captain going down with the ship. Don’t be the boxer going down for the count. Don’t be a martyr, fool. Like an American you wave your flag. Like a Canadian that leaf on your bag. Don’t be so diplomatic always. Work everyday don’t take no holidays. **CHORUS. Another notch in your bed-post, gold round your neck. Aces high you’ve made the cut. You’ve made the upper deck. You’ve made the upper deck. Frame your picture and hang it on your wall. Sew in your spare time your own voo-doo doll. Have it climb mountains, mountains so tall. Lead armies in your sleep – lieftennant general. **CHORUS.
