Just prior to the release of My Effin' Life last month, Geddy Lee announced that he'd be including 2 new, unreleased songs as part of the audio book release, with a streaming release to follow. As promised, last week the tracks were released on all major streaming platforms as The Lost Demos, and you can listen to the tracks on YouTube or other major streaming services. The two songs are titled Gone and I Am ... You Are - 2 unreleased tracks from the recording of Geddy Lee's 2000 solo album My Favorite Headache which he co-wrote with Ben Mink. Mink was a recent guest on the Rushfans YouTube channel's latest Deep Dive video for an extensive interview to discuss unearthing the tracks with Geddy during the process of his writing of My Effin' Life. FANTOONS' David Calcano also takes part in the discussion, describing the story behind the cover artwork that his studio created for The Lost Demos. And as an extra bonus, Deep Dive regular Donna Halper joins in to break down the songs and tell stories about her time with Geddy on his book tour. You can listen to the entire interview below or on YouTube:
