Black Candles by Kae Sun

This is actually a very sad song – go read the lyrics and find out what it’s about. It’s message merits investigation into the song and the artist, and it’s tone and mood set it to Riley’s scene, but the two have little else to do with each other. We really wanted Black Candles to see the light of day, and think the Degrassi fans will give it it’s proper moment.

The Fool by Santa Clara

Tim Langley came across our radar and we shook hands in The Library Bar in Toronto’s Royal York Hotel in 2009. Since then his band, Santa Clara, has taken off, and we’re real happy to have their song in the show. The placement is awesome, over three scenes, tying them all together in a nice bow.

The New Rags are a wicked fun indie band from NYC – check out their rendition of “The Cascades”. We needed some fun in the Ravine, but some edgy, non-linear fun, because we all know what everyone down there is up to…

We won’t rag on Drew for taking shrooms – that’s between him and his mom (ouch). Instead, we’ll try to get into his head – and this song puts us right in that zone at that moment (for better or worse!). PSA moment: Drugs are bad. But Steve Poltz is awesome.
