Wallaceburg musician Kevin Regnier, also known as ‘Clay Nahdee’, caught up with the Sydenham Current to discuss his debut EP ‘Seance’.
Listen to the full interview, below:
Nahdee also shared a breakdown of his songs:
“Dirty hands clean money was inspired by seeing the Troll Co. stickers on hardhats at work, but I wanted to push the clean hands equals dirty money as the reverse.
Me and you. It’s a love song, but a little silly like Tenacious D meets the Dan Band.
Fifth of rye, was the first song I wrote. It’s saying that the love of a good woman and family, it’s like drinking whiskey to take the pain away. Better to have family, then drink
Gloomy is my take on the Billie Holiday song ‘Gloomy Sunday’. A banned song for decades and is about loss and the only closure is death yourself.
Fingertips is about my cousin’s tragic drowning in Wallaceburg, which inspired the river cleanup. It’s spin is more of getting close to escaping and still not close enough.
What have I become is looking at where I was in pain and injury. I listened to grunge too much and introspectively wrote it.
Ghosts of you is growing up without my dad, but thought it was better to spin it to relationship failure. Ripped Avril ‘Losing Grip’ a bit in the chorus.
Hold on is a Richard Marx song, turned rock. His songwriting is fantastic. Had to pay a fee for this one, but totally worth it.
Everything she wants is a Wham cover. George Michael’s songwriting is fantastic. People see his scandal, but if he was to come out today, instead of his era, I believe he would be bigger than anything else.”
