"Theory of Your Life" (2006) EarRational Music
Theory of Your Life is a collection of 11 original songs, sewn together by the theory that “dying is easy, comedy is hard.” Let’s think of dying as a kind of falling -- like leaves in autumn, like an angel from grace, like the mighty never do, like a shaky skater, a guilty thief, or an army deserter. Let’s think of comedy as a kind of rising -- on a thin line, on an angel’s invisible wings, on the glory of a Tin Pan Alley song, or the freedom of the road.
Theory of Your Life documents these risings and
fallings with empathy for, and insight into, our human frailty. We all live our lives according to some sort of theory; North finds the places and the states that we end up in as a result.

"Since you ask, the theory of Ian North's life is that dying is easy, and comedy is hard. A sardonic quip on an absorbing disc, from the mouth of a Toronto troubadour who is both a skeptical singer-songwriter and a colourful tale-weaver."

"a penchant for clever chord changes that keep his odd melodies in a state of ungrounded suspension somewhere between acoustic pop and jazzy folk."
