Fraser Teeple’s latest single, “Spark,” is a blue-collar love song that captures the gap between dreams and reality. Written while balancing his work as a tree climber and musician in the east end of town, Teeple reflects on the desperate struggles of keeping dreams alive. His poignant storytelling resonates with anyone who has ever longed for something greater, blending soulful vulnerability with hope.

Rooted in acoustic folk traditions and lifted by shimmering vintage synths, “Spark” bridges the gritty and ethereal. Recorded at Slow Magic with producer Matthew Johnston, the song features soulful backing vocals by Fiker Kirubel, creating a soundscape that evokes both city lights and northern campfires.

I think everyone who is in love or has dreams for something bigger can relate to that gap between what we want out of life and our reality. Sometimes it’s a gap of money and sometimes it’s a gap of soul or beauty, but it’s always there. – Fraser Teeple
