Danny Michel is a singer-songwriter based just outside Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Born in 1970 and raised in Kitchener, Ontario , he began his professional career playing with the Rhinos before beginning a solo career. In the late 1990s, he moved to Ottawa, where he developed a loyal following with a weekly show at the Manx Pub on Elgin St. In his live shows, he often uses looped live samples of his guitar and other instruments to create a richly layered solo performance. While at the Manx he often entertained with cover versions of songs by some of his favourite artists, including David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and the Rheostatics.

Before The World Was Round Lyrics

Danny Michel

From the album Clear
Long before the world was round, before the sky was blue.
Long before the dinosaurs, and me and you.
When ships got lost at sea, washed out of the sky,
and the wind itself was butter breeze,
from which god himself would hide.
I wanna stick with you, to keep the oceans blue.
I wanna spend my life, chasing after you.
Cause if there's one thing I know, it's the world sure can be cruel.
So let me be true to you.
Long before the tidal waves, disease and lemonade.
Long before the catapults, where the pistols met the blade.
We lived under a rock and we fed on zinc and chalk
(killer horn interlude here)
Before the world was round, before there was a sound.
I wanna stick with you, to keep the oceans blue.
I wanna spend my life, chasing after you.
Cause if there's one thing I know, it's the world sure can be cruel.
So let me be true to you.
