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.

Melt Lyrics

Danny Michel

This is one of my favourite tracks.
From his debut CD Before the World Was Round.
Lying on my back,
staring at the ceiling, wishing i had one more.
I imagine its the surface,
I'm the sunken treasure on the ocean floor.
Up and out of nowhere,
you came along, combing the entire sea.
Lying on your belly, in your glass-bottomed boat,
you're lookin for me.
And all I wanna do is melt away with you.
I'm sitting on a couch,
sharing secrets I never let go before.
Unravelled on the floor, you say,
"there's so much more I still need to explore"
While you make cigarettes, and high-school mixed casettes,
for riding in your car.
Looking so dumbfound you ask,
"How'd you get that sound, to come out of your guitar?"
And all I wanna do is melt away with you.
