“The Well of Friendship"

Brandon, MB-born, Toronto-based lyrical wizard and music magician Doug MacNaughton delivers a new pop-infused indie folk song, 'The Well Of Friendship,' out now. Check it out on YouTube now:

 Originally from Brandon, Manitoba, MacNaughton's spark for music began when he first heard Mike Oldfield's 1973 album Tubular Bells. Fascinated by Oldfield's ability to perform every instrument, MacNaughton found this multi-instrumentalist songwriting adventure something he would love to pursue.

Armed with a background in performing and a love for all things rock and jazz, MacNaughton began to develop his songwriting talent five years ago, leading him to be a regular face in and around the Toronto music scene. MacNaughton is now to release his first 8-track album in 2023.

Doug MacNaughton Takes Us On A Reassuring Walk Through Grief In “So Lost Without You”

Fri Apr 14, 2023

Loss can be wrenching, no matter who is no longer in our lives, and Brandon, MB-based singer-songwriter Doug MacNaughton provides reassurance and a salve in his new single “So Lost Without You” from his forthcoming album Old Enough To Know Better.

The song starts out shimmery, and then morphs into an introspective ’70s-tinged folk-pop ballad. The sadness is overlaid with a marching, sunny optimism as MacNaughton lays out his grief:

You were here for the best days of my life
Now you’re gone, I don’t know what to say

I lift my eyes, I just see darkness all around
The world was brighter in the days we stood
Together

He searches his heart for a way to keep going and finds a well of internal optimism. “Fear shouts – but love whispers and is heard,” he sings. “Fear doubts – but love whispers and I’m reassured.”
