    'Saw him in concert last night. Wonderful. Thanks, Ron and band. They are touring the UK in May 2017. Please support this artist. Buy his CD's and vinyl, go to his concerts. The music business is such that Ron still struggles a bit financially. He just moved away from Toronto, as he couldn't afford to live there anymore, after 10 years enjoying life there. Something so wrong with that picture. The man has so much talent.

      Yeah, it's too bad for sure. And..I think he said 30 years. Stratford is pretty great though. :)

      Stratford is lovely. I think Ron and Colleen will really love it. He already has received welcomes from new neighbours, including Cynthia Dale who dropped by with flowers. (Mrs. Peter Mansbridge)

      Madeleine Hague such a shame that this fantastic singer and guitarist struggles, especially when you see what type of thing dominates the music business these days.

      I think he does ok financially...I think his fans do buy rather than download,he sells out theatres all around the world once a year,and his Songbook should be a hell of a pension if some of the Hit parade singers delve into it!
      I heard him say he felt a bit out of sorts in the city,going into bars where he didn't know anyone anymore...but that happens to all of us if we live long enough,things change and people move on...I thought it was his wife that wanted to leave Toronto most though!

      This guy struggles financially? What a travesty. This song is off the charts quality. The performance and the song itself should be able to make a career.

    In time to come, people will look back and say that he was one of the best that this world produced, not just Canada. How is it possible that only when he sings it, no one else, not Feist or any other cover can make a grown man get a lump in his throat. Of course we're not talking about me, its my 'friend' that gets all emotional.

    Is it just me but every time I see Ron being watched by other artists, they are always in "awe" if his writing ability. Fran is an amazing writer, but not many can hold a candle to Ron Sexsmith - including Fran. Ron is honestly one of the best writers out there doing it now. It's a privilege to have him in our generation and it's all of our responsibility as fans of Sexsmith to help spread the word of his music....

    Secret heart
    What are you made of?
    What are you so afraid of?
    Could it be three simple words?
    Or the fear of being overheard?
    What's wrong?
    Let her in on your secret heart
    Secret heart
    Why so mysterious?
    Why so sacred, why so serious?
    Maybe you're just acting tough
    Maybe you're just not man enough
    What's wrong?
    Let her in on your secret heart
    This very secret you're trying to conceal
    Is the very same one you're dying to reveal
    Go tell her how you feel
    Secret heart
    Come out and share it
    This loneliness, few can bear it
    Could it have something to do with
    Admitting that you just can't go through it alone?
    Let her in on your secret
    What's wrong, oh?
    Let her in on your secret heart
    Your secret heart

    I agree with Gerry. The other two are very good but they realise collectively I reckon that the guy in the middle is definitely a cut above. He probably doesn't have the song writing formula of Gouldman or the song writing hook of Healey but his artistry is beyond that which each of them together could ever achieve.
