Haven Klassen

Haven Klassen wrote and recorded the piano and vocals and Josh Cook (joshthemusician.com) mixed this song called "Forms." It is an understated lament about divorce in Haven's folky jazzy retro pop style.

This single, written and performed by Haven Klassen (havenklassen.com), mixed by Josh Cook (joshthemusician.com), takes on the darker aspects of social media, television and all other media that rely heavily on celebrity and a spirit of perfectionism. Haven assumes the voice of someone who is, in a way, held captive by the perfect-seeming celebrities she follows on social media or watches on TV. "I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see:" expresses the loss of self esteem experienced by someone who is continually experiencing manufactured perfection and is worshipping "idols." A pantheon is a group of gods worshipped by a people. The celebrities we lift high are like a false pantheon to many, and cause a lot of suffering.

Haven Klassen offers a very simple, original, Celtic-inspired a capella song called "Resurrection." It's a song about recovery from trauma: I died I'm here...only sometimes I live, I'm alive words and melody: Haven Klasssen vocals: Haven Klassen Mixing Engineering: Josh Cook (joshthemusician.com)

Inspired, in part, by "Squid Games," this song explores the theme of death with witnesses behaving as spectators. Original song by Haven Klassen Recording and Mixing Engineer: Josh Cook (joshthemusician.com). Vocals: Haven Klassen Accompaniment mix (piano, drums, strings): Josh Cook

Lightning written and recorded by Christine (Haven) Klassen Mixing Engineer: Josh Cook bass: Josh Cook strings: Josh Cook Keys: Haven Klassen Voice: Haven Klassen havenklassen.com joshthemusician.com When the darkness comes now I look for your lightning I know it might hurt me but it's also exciting I have no defence I'm a turtle with no shell I'm swimming in the ocean and it's scary as hell I have a new dress wearing it is dangerous I think that it's clean though but it has a lot of stains yes I wear it when I'm with you I think that you like it it matches your lightning but to me it feels frightening I love you at least I think I do but I know it could be reckless for a vulnerable fool I have no defence I'm a turtle with no shell I'm swimming in the ocean and it's scary as hell

June is marriage month. This song is more about my marriage than anything else I've written so far. I married Joel Klassen in 2009 and as I continue to say, "I don't regret it." To me marriage is a sacrament, but a very practical earthly one. (I've been married twice so I know a bit about it.) My marriage is a special container I put my love in to keep it safe. Anyway if you're married or looking to get married or are in any kind of committed relationship you might enjoy this song. "Beautiful Thing" written and recorded by Haven Klassen Mixing Engineer: Josh Cook (joshthemusician.com)

A piano and vocals only original by Haven Klassen, mixing engineer: Josh Cook. Folky-jazzy-retro-pop.
