The ink lines that would shape young, self-produced, singer/songwriter Hayden Calnin and his budding musical career were drawn in his teen years after his father gave him a guitar at age 14. He hasn’t gone a day since without playing it.
Dabbling in bands through his teen years led him to add drums and piano to his repertoire, until at the age of 17 he finally decided to give singing a go.
Calnin's guitar-driven sound is complemented by a selection of husky, honest harmonies and delicate folk-pop melodies.

Hayden Calnin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you're in my face tonight?
Why you never call?
I get used to talk riht
I hope
It's temporary
Ah, ah
I hate this week
I hope
It's temporary
Ah, ah
I hope
It's temporary
Ah, ah
The lyrics to Hayden Calnin's song "Waves" allude to a sense of disappointment and frustration. The opening line suggests that the singer or persona has little control over their circumstances, as they turn up "too late" for something or other. The second line reveals a confrontation of sorts, questioning why the person addressed is in the singer's face tonight. This could be a reference to an argument, but it could also suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed or suffocated. The third line, "why you never call?", adds to the tension and implies a lack of communication.

I experienced failure tonight
