Over the past 15 years, Graeme Cornies has been lucky enough to work on more than 40 TV shows and has contributed to more than 1000 episodes of television with his writing partners at Voodoo Highway Music and Post. The last five years have brought multiple awards from both SOCAN and BMI – recognizing his musical reach both domestically and internationally. Recently, Graeme has been releasing electronic-pop music under the moniker Kodiak Arcade.
The new Kodiak Arcade song, “Another Summer,” asks a question that people often ask themselves: Once the infatuation of a new relationship fades and the spell of newness has worn off, can the relationship bloom again and again over time? Even after you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, that question remains – can we keep falling for each new version of one another as we grow?
“It sometimes strikes me how irrational it is for me to ask anyone to stay with me longterm if I can’t even guarantee who I will be in 10 years,” Graeme explains about the inspiration for the song. “And it’s the same in reverse. It takes some irrational faith to commit to another person to the point where you are building a life together, to say, ‘No matter who we become as individuals, I will try to love that next version of you too, even after a million minor disagreements, the grind of work life, bills, laundry and groceries.’”
