I’m A-OK!
I think this book will pay off in droves, and by that I mean it’ll probably have a positive impact on many lives.”Aragon is equally forthcoming about her own past, growing up in Utah as the daughter of a Vietnam vet coping with PTSD and substance abuse issues, coping with an eating disorder and going through her first failed marriage before meeting McCann during one of Great Big Sea’s U.S. tours.She describes One Good Reason as a visit to some dark places, for both of them, but ultimately calls it a book about finding “the light at the end of the tunnel.”“There is light in the darkness; we just wanted it to be a hopeful book for people who struggle with any number of issues,” she says.“As you see in the book, we both have quite a few issues.”McCann counters with one of his patented grins and proclaims, “Oh no, not me, I’m issue-free! I’ve said recently that if making ourselves vulnerable can help anybody, that’s what the goal of this was.” It doesn’t allow for the same amount of bullshit (as before), to be honest.”By releasing One Good Reason in the middle of a pandemic, with an e-book edition also available for download, McCann and Aragon hope their story can help those who are stuck in isolation with their own demons, looking for something that will let them know they’re not alone.As a working musician, McCann is no different from his peers nationwide, eagerly awaiting the day when it’s deemed safe to be back on the road performing for fans wherever they can gather.“I do want to go back to the West Coast, I do want to go back to Newfoundland and Halifax and all the Maritimes, so now I want to go buy a van, just like back in 1993, so I can drive all over the place,” says McCann enthusiastically, while his wife laughs with a facial expression that clearly says, “Yeah, like that’s going to happen.”“Why don’t you write some songs first, and then we can look into that,” she gently suggests.“I’m not worried about the songs, I need a van,” continues McCann. You are doing the right kind of work. It is also the family members that are surrounding them,” says Aragon. We all suffer, but everyone has the means to overcome it.”Newfoundland musician Séan McCann and wife Andrea Aragon have co-authored a revealing memoir. We can move on now.”One Good Reason charts a series of difficult, but crucial turning points for the couple. These include the day on Nov. 9, 2011 when McCann decided he was never going to have another drink, and the tweet almost exactly two years later that declared he was on his last tour with Great Big Sea as the trio was celebrating its 20th anniversary of bringing its East Coast kitchen party bravado to arenas across Canada and stages around the world.And then there was the Sept. 26, 2014 London Recovery Breakfast in Ontario where he not only discussed his personal struggle with alcoholism but also publically revealed that he had been sexually abused by a priest — described in the book as a close family friend — when he was a teenager.Throughout the book, you understand how difficult this story has been to tell, one he resisted putting on paper at first because he considered himself a songwriter who took those personal vignettes and “reduced them to 14-line sonnets with singable choruses” and wasn’t sure about switching gears to working in prose after 35 years of crafting tunes.“It was like the opposite muscles, and the unraveling of that, and it also meant spending a lot more time on the details. McCann says it was hard to relive those experiences, which is why it took so long to finish the book. McCann has been creating music for three decades. I had the chance to talk with Sean McCann & his wife Andrea Aragon about life, love and their candid and powerful new book One Good Reason. Aragon says, after two years of work, unboxing the memoir was a special moment for the pair. “It was necessary for the telling of our story. “In fact, in my experience, the harder things are, it kind of shows you are heading in the right direction. And having the freedom now to keep things out in the open has made a vast difference in strengthening their relationship.“When you embrace recovery, honesty really matters,” says McCann. You have to stick to it and not give up. No one wants to fly or stay in hotels, we’ll all be living in campers and concerts are going to be in backyards or on beaches, which is not going to suck. Whether it was about their own weaknesses and frustrations, the seismic shift in their social life brought on by McCann’s sobriety, or their fractious relationship with his other family, Great Big Sea.There’s no sense that the prose is pulling its punches, especially when Aragon recalls the nights her husband didn’t come home, or how the effort to save their family cost them their friends. It’s going to be all right!” The books looks back at McCann’s childhood in Newfoundland -- surviving sexual abuse, the formation and success of the band Great Big Sea, his battle with alcoholism, and other experiences from both McCann’s and Aragon’s lives. He says writing a book was a very different process. Sean McCann and Andrea Aragon are not most married couples.
