    Song from the albums THE QUINTE SPIRIT(1999) and LATE ARRIVAL (2020).
    Avril Lavigne - Vocals
    Stephen Medd - Acoustic guitar
    David Archibald - Guitar, keyboard, production
    Duncan Holt - Percussion, engineering
    Grant Heckman - Electric guitar
    John Lavigne - Bass
    Video by Kathy and Stephen Bruce Medd
    Recorded and mixed by Duncan Holt (Concept Audio, Kingston CANADA) (1999).
    Remastered by Stephen Bruce Medd and Matt Baetz (Longshot Records, Kingston CANADA) (2020).
    Touch the Sky was the first song written for and professionally recorded by Avril. She had a knack for interpreting songs, and with her incredible voice, laying down the tracks quickly and confidently. It was an exciting time for me, my family and fellow musicians involved in the Quinte Spirit CD project. We were one link in a chain of her early development. At my CD release event in Kingston on December 18, 1999 Avril made her first important contact with the music industry.
    To hear the remastered studio recordings of Touch the Sky and the other two songs I wrote for Avril: Temple of Life and Two Rivers please visit: stephenbrucemeddmusic.bandcam...

    I used to carry this big ole world on my shoulders and back
    I used to lie inside my room wondering where I am at
    I felt a chill running through my veins and wondered would I be saved
    I felt the ice building in my soul, would it melt away
    (Alternative 1st verse)
    I used to carry this big ole world on my shoulders alone
    Blinded by my foolish pride, never sharing the load
    I felt a chill running through my veins and wondered would I be saved
    I felt the ice building in my soul, would it melt away
    He’s a warm breeze breathing life into me
    He’s the sunlight shining down on me
    I use to worry my life away counting every dime
    Shutting out the ones I loved, never finding the time
    Then one day I was overcome by loneliness and despair
    And deep inside I thought I heard “Lean on me I am here”
    He’s a warm breeze breathing life into me
    He’s the sunlight shining down on me
    I pulled the burden from off my back and tossed it into the wind
    And stretched my arms toward the sky and let my life begin
    And like a tree I have measured up best when I’ve been cut down
    And like a tree I can touch the sky with my feet on the ground
    He’s a warm breeze breathing life into me
    He’s the sunlight shining down on me
    Shining down on me, yeah, Shining down on me
    Shining down, Shining down, Shining down on me

    Hi Folks, thank you all for your comments and interest in this historical video of Avril singing Touch the Sky from 23 years ago. Thanks also to those of you who explore other songs I have written. You make me want to keep on songwriting. Peace.

      Excluding the songs you made for Avril, "You Mean the World to Me" is my favorite song from you; all of the songs you wrote, especially for Avril, are incredibly euphonious and easy to listen to

    Hi Folks, Not sure if all of you know but Avril sings a voice pad with the instrumental in You Mean the World to Me, a love song I wrote for my wife Kathy in 1995 and recorded in 1999 for the Quinte Spirit CD. You can check out the video on this channel. :-)

    Ah now this is a real privilege to see and hear Avril’s life before the rest of us ‘met’ her.
    I’ve been a rock solid fan since I first heard Complicated on the radio in the UK in 2002.
    I bought every album and have seen her perform here (3 times), May 6th this year, the day of the Coronation was the last time… a King and a Princess in one day, she was awesome!
    The pictures here show what look like such happy times, clearly she had a lot of good influences around her, and as a lover of her music, I had to just say, thank you for sharing these moments, and for helping her, get to us 👍🏼⭐️

    I for once would not be surprised if we're now entering the time where the next or in the next few she actually realizes a Country Album (finally) as well because I feel like people who lived through all these years-days have been on a mission to (re-)connect with their roots at least ones.
