Lyrics

King of the Background- Dayna Manning

Hallowed be thy name or the name of the company you keep
Everyone's the same but one wrote I shall be released

King of the harvest king of Big Pink king of the smile
Baby just don't think king of the background

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter

Molded voice of God feel the depths of brown bottles drank clean
Across the great divide every key can’t be made of ivory

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter
Find the right notes put words to measure
You've got to paint that perfect picture

King of the harvest king of Big Pink king of the Smile
Baby just don't think king of the background
Kenny and Johnny Bob and Levon
You were kings of their hearts but you had to move on
King of the background

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter
Find the right notes put words to measure
You've got to paint that perfect picture

"Each chapter is named after one of my songs and chronicles the writing of and subsequent adventures that song led me on. It was so fun to write and I’m so excited to share this book with the world!" - Dayna

In engaging prose as smooth and colourful as her Juno-nominated melodies, Dayna Manning’s memoir provides a window into the world of her songwriting. In Many Moons, Manning depicts her close encounters with Canadian legends such as Burton Cummings, Chris Hadfield, and William Lishman, providing readers with an intimate view of a musician's life and up-close encounters with some of Canada’s greatest personalities. Manning’s charming debut memoir is a fascinating read, spanning Canada itself as well as a three-decade career in an ever-changing music business.
