Taking a Walk Boy golden welcome to the Taking a Walk podcast.
Boy Golden
Happy to be here?
Buzz Knight
Yeah. So let's start with the obvious walking Instagram series, and here you are on a show which is called Taking a Walk. I absolutely adore that. Tell me about your relationship with walking and how it connects to your creative process.
Boy Golden
It kind of comes and goes for me a bit with the weather. Where I live in Manitoba right now it is pretty cold, so I don't do as much walking. But there was a time, especially about four years ago, when I would walk very far, I would walk. It took about two hours for me to walk from where I lived to the little studio that I rented where I would make music. And I would do that most days. And yeah, it became just a very, I guess, an important part of my creative process. And I just started to notice when you go for a walk like that, it takes a bit of time for your mind to settle. And I often found that the first 10 minutes I might be ruminating or going in circles, and slowly the circles start to get a little bit slower. And then often by the end of the walk I feel very different than the start and I might have completely different ideas, maybe new ideas that I didn't have before. So yeah, I think walking can be a great part of the creative process. It's like a lot of people use it. There's a whole Julia Cameron book about walking.
Buzz Knight
Are you a fan of the late Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh?
Boy Golden
Yes. I've read actually several of his books. It's been a few years, but I love the books.
Buzz Knight
Yeah. And he obviously stresses the importance of being in a moment and while walking, really just embracing, you know, what's around you and. And not taking any of it for granted. Right.
Boy Golden
Yeah. I was thinking about that this morning because I'm. I'm at home right now and I spend a lot of time not at home touring. And sometimes I just find it easier to be touring because there's just always something to do, always something to take care of. There's always a show to play and. But I'm really, really enjoying being at home. And I've been writing a lot, but I am staring down a year that's like, going to be really busy. And I also am, like, more financially insecure than I would like to be. And I just was feeling stressed this morning, anxious this morning. And when I. And I. I write every morning and I. I had this exact thought. I was like, you know, I feel like a lot of my stress right now is coming from just wanting things to go well, wanting things to be a certain way, wanting to feel more secure. I was like, I can't actually change any of that. So I. While, you know, in a lot of interviews and in songs and in some of my writing, I talk a big game about being present and. Yeah. Staying with the moment and staying grateful. It's hard to do that day to day. It's still, I think, a practice. I think the best way to look at it is a practice. Practice makes progress and who doesn't need practice?
Buzz Knight
Right?
Boy Golden
Yeah.
Buzz Knight
Yeah. So congratulations on the new album, Best of Our Possible Lives. How long was that process in terms of start to finish the writing, the studio work? How long did it take you to put this great music together?
Boy Golden
The. So the. The recordings themselves. We started recording in March of 2025 and we were done by June. So that's not too bad. That's pretty quick. But I've been writing these songs for four years at that point. And so I had quite a large pile of songs. That's kind of how I like to. That's how I like to work. I like to build up like a large folder of demos and then choose from there, so.
Buzz Knight
And tell me the context of Buddhist philosophy that influenced the record.
Boy Golden
Yeah, I didn't set out to do that. I Just have spent a lot of time reading a lot of. A lot of Buddhist philosophy and I have spent a lot of time practicing meditation. I. I just find these philosophies have like, woven their way into my day to day thinking enough that it kind of comes out in the music. And I only really realized that those themes were there when I was putting together this, the track list for the album and like thinking about the relationships between the songs. And I realized that a lot of them could be. You could analyze the lyrics and the. And the songs through this sort of Buddhist lens. So sometimes I think of them like that and sometimes I don't. Right. They mean different things to me on different days, depending on what I hear them. Sometimes I just like to listen to them and not think about what they mean at all.
Buzz Knight
And forgive me for delving into that, because your writings and what you give to the world is so wonderful, but it's very personal too. So I hope you understand the context of the question and you don't view it as prying too deeply into now the backdrop of the writings, you know.
Boy Golden
No, you can ask me anything.
Buzz Knight
Well, tell me about working with Robbie Lackritz. What elements did he bring to you that made you better in this process?
Boy Golden
I mean, the first thing that Robbie brought that I appreciated so much was he listened to, I think, a folder of about 70 demos that I had sent to him, and he listened to them and picked out songs that he thought would go well together. And we worked. We worked a lot on that selection of songs. And then before we got into the studio, we did quite a bit of pre production. Even though we weren't in the same room, we would just be sending audio back and forth to each other all day. And that really helped me just feel confident that we picked the right songs because I had sort of. I'd reached a place with the album where I just had too many songs and I did not know which ones were the good ones. It was amazing to have an outside perspective there and then it continued to be great to have an outside perspective throughout the entire process because prior to working with Robbie, I had only ever produced, engineered and mixed my own music for the most part. I did hire another mixer one time, but I. So I just work with my friends and I produce it myself and I sort of felt like I had taken that as far as I could and. And I was feeling quite lost. So Robbie provided me with a lot of direction and I think a lot of confidence and. And he's funny and I like working with Him.
Buzz Knight
And tell me about how you came to work with the great bass legend Pino Palladino.
Boy Golden
That was also Robbie. Robbie did some heavy lifting and getting some incredible musicians on on the album. Uh, I think they had worked together on a Bahamas record.
Buzz Knight
It.
Boy Golden
I think it was as simple as texting him. Hey, check out these demos. You free for these four days. You want to come work on this record? I think he listened to the demos. I have a really fun text message saved in my phone that's like, got the songs. Really cool. Would love to do it from Peter Palladin. I was cool. Wow. Cool. That's cool.
Buzz Knight
So matter of fact.
Commercial Announcer 2
Right?
Boy Golden
Yeah. Right. I mean, the man has made hundreds of records, you know, dozens. Thousands. Hundreds. It's. Yeah. So. And also worked with Abe Rounds, and those two play together a lot. Abe and Pino play in kind of like Pino's. When he plays solo. Abe is often playing with them. And. And Abe is just. I love his drumming. He just moves his body and music comes out of it. It's amazing.
Buzz Knight
What of Pino's past work are you particularly a fan of?
Boy Golden
I mean, probably the d' Angelo records would be number one. And then I love his, like, the. The Pino Blake Mills records together are really great. Those would be probably my two favorites.
Buzz Knight
So let's dive into some specific tracks, and I'd love to get your personal take on him. First of all, the song matter at hand. What were you processing when you wrote it?
Boy Golden
I wrote that in the summertime. I had a studio in downtown Winnipeg, and things were just, like, tough that summer. There was a lot of the studio that I had was in a. What you might call, I guess, a rougher neighborhood. And there's just a lot of people on the street living, sleeping rough at that in that year. I think. I think a lot of places experienced that during the pandemic. Right. There was. There's maybe some data on that. I'm not sure.
Buzz Knight
Oh, I'm sure.
Boy Golden
Yeah.
Buzz Knight
We all try to forget.
Boy Golden
Right? Yeah. Right. But it was like. That was a tough summer. It was really, really hot. And I was just processing. I think I was just feeling like a shattering of my, like, younger self's ideals. Just trying to figure out how to still live in the world. And that's still something that I think about all the time. And the way that I deal with living in the world is just trying to attend to the matter at hand. That's, I think, where that phrase came from for me. And then recently, just a couple weeks ago, I was quite involved in organizing a funeral and memorial for a friend. And that was interesting because the last verse of that song talks about attending a funeral and, like, getting drunk in the parking lot with. With all my friends. And that didn't exactly happen at this funeral, but it was like an imagined scenario based on, like, other really difficult times that I've been through with. With friends and. Or family. And sometimes how those. Those times can, like, bring you together in a way that is, like, really rare. And so that. That last verse is about going through something like that and realizing that you're having this, like, special moment together and not wanting the night to end, even though it's, like, objectively kind of a horrible event. And then I. I kind of went through that again two weeks ago, and I was thinking about that song, and I was thinking about how it was difficult. It was. It was heavy and all that, but also, like, me and my friend Fantine were just, like, involved in. In organizing and setting things up and helping the family out and stuff. So we just, like, had a list of tasks to do. Go to Walmart, get this thing. We'll get the catering this way, you know, go to the. Get the bill paid, whatever. And we just had to deal with all these tasks. And actually that made it so much easier because we just had to attend to this thing and this thing and this thing. So I. I was reminded of that song again and how just attending to the matter at hand is often the way through difficult times.
Buzz Knight
Another one of my favorites is Like a Child. Is it fear to say Like a Child and Matter at Hand? It feels sort of like they're a conversation with each other. Is that. Am I getting that possibly right?
Boy Golden
Yeah. I kind of think of them as all being in conversation with one another, but yeah. Do you want me to talk about, Like a child a little bit?
Buzz Knight
Sure.
Boy Golden
Yeah. Yeah. That song definitely came. Came from reading the Tao Te Ching a lot. I have a couple different versions. I really like Ursula Lagin's version, a big fan of her fiction as well. But she also has a translation of the Tao Te Ching, which I find, like, really modern and approachable and fun to read and engage with. And there's all these verses in there about softness and how softness actually is more powerful than hardness. And I think all the time about this analogy of rocks in a river. So if I am living my life and I'm in a river, inevitably I am going to run into a rock, some sort of obstacle. And so you kind of have two choices when you hit an obstacle. You can like stiffen up and fight it. And if you imagine yourself stiffening up when you like reach this rock, probably the rest of the river is going to keep on flowing around you and you're just going to stay there stuck. But if you practice being soft and flexible and malleable and adaptable, you might just move past the rock. And then over time, if you continue doing that, continue moving past the rocks over and over and over again, you'll do what the river does to the rocks, right? It will erode the rock down to a point where it's smooth like a river stone. And then you'll just flow right over top of it and you'll notice, you know, the obstacles. There seems to be maybe less of them. There's still going to be maybe different ones, but you might not have to deal with that one again. And I notice, I noticed that with myself when I recent I did, I did a bunch of sort of self reflection work where I was working with like negative thoughts that were or I guess not necessarily negative but whatever thoughts were coming up into my head when I tried to make myself believe that I'm an artist or I'm a good artist or I have something to say. And in the past I would often have a lot of like thoughts come in like well no you're not. Well who are you really? And then I recently redid some of those exercises and I just didn't have those same kind of blurts coming through my brain. And I feel like that's because I was have over time been able to rewire some of those less healthy thought patterns. And I think that's maybe that song in practice. I want to like be open to the world like that. I want to be able to love like that and I want to be able to move through the world like that. So that's what that song means to me.

Welcome back to the Taking a Walk podcast.
Buzz Knight
It's amazing how there's so much Of a calming influence. When I listen to the music and there's a calming influence listening to you give us the background and the inspiration behind these writings. Who influenced you personally and gave you that trait of calm?
Boy Golden
Oh, I. I don't. A lot of people. I feel like one of the first people was someone who I would consider something of a mentor to me in my late teens. His name was Dawn Benediction, still. Still Pals, and he engineered and produced for my first band. And I just really loved the way that he was moving through the world, and I really feel like I took a lot of inspiration from that. That's a good question, though. Off the top of my head, that was the first one that came to my mind. But I also just feel like I've met. I meet so many people. Touring and traveling and working with people on music. There just is a certain kind of person that makes you feel really calm and really open and creative. I also have spent a lot of time producing for other artists, and that has always just been my goal in the studio with them. It's like, can I be that presence for you where you feel really comfortable expressing yourself? My friend Sheena once told me that cool people make other people feel cool, and I've never forgotten that. So I.
Buzz Knight
Well put. My God.
Boy Golden
Yeah, Right.
Buzz Knight
Every artist has an origin story. Can you take us back at the point when you knew music wasn't just going to be something that you love, but that it would be your calling?
Boy Golden
I mean, I always loved it. I was in a band. I've been in a band since I was, like, 14. And then I toured a lot with my high school band, and we really tried, but I was never able to write my own music at that point. I had a lot of blocks, creative blocks I had to overcome. But then when I was 21, I went through, like, a breakup that really, like, tore my heart up, which, maybe this is a pretty classic story, but somewhere in there, I was, like, too heartbroken to care if my music was good or not. And I just started writing. And I started writing a lot, and then I just got completely addicted to it. And I. I always wanted to, and I would try, and then I would run up against those rocks in the river, and I would stiffen up and just, you know, call myself names and be very unhelpful to my. To myself. And so somewhere around the age of 21, I started writing a lot of songs. And then I haven't stopped, and it still brings a lot of joy and peace and growth into my life. So I. I try to keep writing all the time.
Buzz Knight
Who are your pillars of musical influence.
Boy Golden
That have shaped you sonically? J.J. kale. Big time as far as writing goes? Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch. My favorite band is the Talking Heads. Love. David Byrne. John Prine probably would be in there. Kris Kristofferson would probably be in there. Maybe Carole King might be in there. Those would be some of my main influences.
Buzz Knight
Wow, that's a good playlist.
Boy Golden
Yeah, right?
Buzz Knight
That's a really good one.
Boy Golden
Only the greatest of all time.
Buzz Knight
My God. So what are you most excited for people to experience when they sit and listen to the record from front to back?
Boy Golden
I'm really proud of the way this record sounds. I just think it sounds great. And I. I still love listening to it just for that. So I wonder if maybe at first they might just enjoy the feelings of, like, listening to really great sounding music. Then I hope the lyrics have something in them that. That will resonate for people. I. Lyrics are really important to me, and I spend a lot of time editing them and working on them. I feel like people connect with my lyrics, so I'm hoping more people do. Yeah, I would love. Also. This is always my marker of, like, a great record or a great song. If my record makes you feel like you want to go make a record or you want to go write a song, that would be the best possible outcome, because that is my favorite feeling when I listen to music that inspires me and makes me go, oh, man, I gotta go home and practice. I gotta go home and write. I gotta go home and record something. That is, like, kind of the highest compliment I give to another artist. You've inspired me so much.
Buzz Knight
So talk about the tour. Is there one in the works? And at what point will you be out there?
Boy Golden
I'm opening for two other artists for the first half of 2026. So I'm opening for William Prince, who's an incredible folk singer songwriter, in Canada. He's touring at big theaters all. All across the country. So I'll be chasing his tour bus around in my van and opening up for him. And that'll be a really special tour because I really love his new album that he's touring, especially because I've worked on it. I produced the whole thing. So I think that'll be, like, a really sweet story to tell on stage. And I'm hoping that it's, like, a really fun show for people to come to. And then the second tour that I do like, immediately after that is opening for my friend Kat Clyde, who is a featured artist on two of the songs on my album, and that's in April and May. And that's also going to be special because she's featured on my album on several songs and I played on her album when she made it down in Georgia in April. So just to really like connected, that all feels like very synchronous and very the right things to be doing.
Buzz Knight
So as we close, we're kind of going to go back to where we opened a bit. I usually open with this question, but I thought it was most fitting for you to customize this and close with the question, which is if you could take a walk with somebody, living or dead, who would you take a walk with? And where do you think you might take that walk?
Boy Golden
Great question. Maybe you can edit out this really long pause that I'm having.
Buzz Knight
Well, it's it's meant to be a difficult question. Oh, because there's no right or wrong answer. And by the way, just to be fair, it could be more than one answer to the question as well.
Boy Golden
I think I would go for a walk with my late grandpa Duncan. I miss him a lot and have been thinking about him these days. And I don't care where we walked, probably just around his neighborhood in my hometown of Brandon. But I would love to go for another walk with my grandpa. That'd be nice.
Buzz Knight
It's wonderful, boy. Golden Congratulations on the new music, best of our possible lives, the upcoming tours, and all that you give to us. We're so grateful for thanks for being on Taking a Walk. This was a lot of fun.
