Canter (song)
# Canter (song)

"Canter" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist Gerry Cinnamon. It was released as a single on 22 June 2019 by Little Runaway Records as the lead single from his second studio album The Bonny.

## Background

In an interview with Radio X, Cinnamon said, "It's an upbeat tune. It's just one of those tunes I try and drop some knowledge bombs. When I was a wee guy I was always trying to look for a bit of Gold in a song, for a bit of advice, so I think it's me just talking to myself. I wrote this a couple of weeks before the Barras [Glasgow Barrowlands], and it's just one of them that's demanded [at gigs]. Same thing happened with Belter." He also confirmed that the word 'canter' is Scots for 'easy peasy'.
