Chords for Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk get real about their relationship in new doc | Your Morning

Our Canadian singer [C]-songwriters Rain Mada and Chantel Kravijazik have had extremely successful careers
And now for the very first time the couple who have been married and together for 22 years are releasing a joint album called
Moon vs.
Sun
Kravijazik and Mada filmed their journey of creating this album including writing the songs and are giving their fans a look [Bb] inside the
emotional and vulnerable [F] process in their new documentary called I'm [Dm] going to break your heart
Chantel and Rain are back with us in the your morning studio.
Good to have you here
Thank you for having us.
I love this
[Db] It's not just the two of you writing and recording and songwriting together, which is a cool process to watch
This is an honest look into an almost 20 year marriage couples
I know I've been married almost the same amount of time as you and
Couples get to 20 years they either split and they decide I'm not doing another 20 like this or they decide
Let's take a look at the habits that we've built up over two decades and let's figure out how [E] to make the next 20 better
You guys show us sessions inside your time with a marriage coach
You show us this intimate process of writing together and you're very honest about the feelings you have about it back and forth
Whose idea first of all was it to bring the cameras into the coaching session?
And why did you release it to the world?
Well, I think that we knew if we just put out an album
You know a documentary showing us making an album sure you'd [G] get to see
What that looks like but I think to make it even more honest and authentic
We wanted to show what what really went into that process getting prepared to be alone together
[Eb] sequestered like that and isolated and
Just being you know
Rain and I which a lot of couples can relate we're not alone [G] together a lot
I think in this process you can't really have you can't show the process of the music
Which is out showing the context of us being married and how that drives the music how it affects the songwriting
It would it would have been disingenuous to cut all that stuff out
You didn't just you know, some people at 20 years ago.
Hey, let's take a cruise and spend some time together
You guys decided to go to this remote island.
It is cold
You're away from your kids for a couple of weeks and you decide that you're gonna do this intimate process of songwriting together
You both have written successfully together before for other people.
This is the first time you guys are doing it for yourself
There's that saying the hottest fires produce the purest gold.
Yeah, [C] so what did you think?
I mean, I've never written a song when I'm happy in my life really so to go.
I mean st.
Pierre is a beautiful island
It's a little tougher in the winter, obviously
We were getting off the plane and everyone was getting on the plane to leave
But it's it's a gorgeous place
Obviously being isolated was what we needed to do because we tried to make this record for [Gb] five or six years at home
And it just wasn't it literally every time we tried to go right or record
There's just too many distractions
We're not home together all the time with our different touring schedules and work
So the only way to really do is to like say hey, we're gonna book people
So we have responsibility of other people flights and go to this island
So that's your songwriting process right to sort of be in the angst of it.
Always your choice.
He's fine with that like yeah, [G] I
you see in the documentary you see in the documentary where I
_ Don't love that feeling of you know, is the rug being pulled out?
I I like to feel really safe and you know happy and and [E] and rain
Yeah, and rain can really pull from this sort of you know
Angst and I mean quite frankly
I was depressed being away from our kids and being that far from them and it and it was a beauty
It's a beautiful beautiful place to go, but we'd been in the summer
So now we're there in the winter and it feels even more more isolated due to the cold and the wind.
Oh my gosh
It [N] was hard, you know
_ So yes great music did come from that I've you know, I really really am happy with the music
but I think rain would be
He would take the music and I would say I would prefer the piece and not the music
So that was a bit of the he was fine with the egg
You know, it was great about there's a scene in this in the documentary where I think it's one of my favorite and I actually
Laughed out loud
So the two of you are far away from the cameras and you're walking down the beach
You are saying to Chantel rain the things I think she's waited this entire
Documentary to hear and probably a few really in your marriage where he's talking about I finally get it about if we're out here
We're okay.
They're okay.
I get you need to feel safe
You're all this understanding you guys embrace and then you add at the [G] end
But I still like to record the songs and I thought that is such a picture of a husband who says I hear you
I'm trying I'm still sort of the same guy
Yeah
Process.
Well, and also the other thing we're realizing is I think you have to like like you said when the camera was off
I think yeah being married 20
25 that's a different level.
Okay people.
This is another
But I think that you have to come to a place of realizing you're not changing anyone
You're not changing the personality of your partner.
My partner's not changing who I am
yeah, so you have to you have to come to a place of making requests and being at peace if they're not met and
And and and be you know
I love that rain will still have that boyish thing in him where
He still does he's always gonna just he's gonna prefer the music he is and and I'm okay with that
The songs are beautiful as you've said and really heartfelt and we hear a lot of what it is that you two are working on
Back and forth that comes out of the music beautiful to listen to your you your situation is unique
You've both been in this business for a long time.
We thought we'd pull some footage guys in this building
_ _ _ Right
Babe, you look better now than you did that and I think you're even more handsome, right?
And I thought we have some of Chantel as well.
Oh, you were cute from in this building
This is actually from in this student.
I think that's
[Ab] _
Sure, I tell I am like a little child look at oh my gosh
_ Yeah, I see why you kind of thought it was cute though _ _
The both of you have had a lot of success
Individually you are now working together most married couples aren't also in a creative relationship as well
What it's like what is it like for two artists to be married together?
You really want to know what do I?
Mean, I think that's what you see [G] on this journey in the documentary.
It's like it it's a different
Chapter of our lives for sure
[Gb] And it's something that I think we respect in this in the sense of I think the music that we make
Together [F] on this journey, I think our kids will probably get to know us better
Through that music [Ab] than anything we could ever tell them.
So we kind of there's like a responsibility to it.
Have they seen it?
No
[F] Not yet.
They're not I don't they've kind of seen clips while we've been they see it every day
_ They see our ups and [G] downs and they think at it we do have to go
But I wanted to ask you you write this song about promising to change
What changes are you guys making to bring into the next 20 years?
Never I don't remember promising _
The song is I can change I know you know what that is not I am going to do
_ That is one of the most pure musical moments I've ever had in my life
You get to see it born in that little hotel room and it is a promise _
that
Continue to live up to or try to
It's a great look not only inside the music
But
