Timepieces: Selected Lyrics

De: Howard Gladstone

Narrado por: Brian Pederson

From acclaimed Canadian songwriter and poet Howard Gladstone comes Timepieces: Selected Lyrics, a rich and evocative collection of his most powerful and memorable lyrics spanning eight albums released between 2002 and 2024.

Narrated by Brian Pederson, this audiobook brings Gladstone’s words to life, allowing listeners to experience the artistry, emotion, and storytelling that have defined his music for more than two decades.

Gladstone’s work has been praised for its “ability to communicate simply and directly while maintaining a poet’s lyricism” and for “biting into the social conscience of humanity while touching us right in the heart.” His lyrics explore profound themes—resilience in the face of adversity, healing a broken world, love, justice, human nature, and the passage of time—while also offering moments of humor, playfulness, and light.

With influences ranging from Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to Joni Mitchell and John Lennon, Gladstone has developed a voice uniquely his own—poetic, political, and deeply personal. His words transport listeners from Jerusalem to New Orleans, Paris to Muskoka, weaving stories of place, memory, and meaning with vivid imagery and timeless insight.

Timepieces: Selected Lyrics includes 74 carefully chosen works, each enriched with commentaries and reflections that add depth and context. Whether you are a longtime fan of Gladstone’s music or new to his craft, this collection offers a rare chance to savor the artistry of songwriting beyond melody—an experience that feels both intimate and universal.

Perfect for lovers of poetry, memoir, music, and lyrical storytelling, Timepieces is more than a compilation—it’s a journey through two decades of creativity, vision, and truth.
