Daniel Greaves is a Canadian rock vocalist and songwriter.
He was the lead singer of The Watchmen, one of Canada's most successful alternative rock bands of the 1990s. Following The Watchmen's breakup, he scored Trevor Cunningham's feature film The Pedestrian (2003), then formed Doctor with Rob Higgins. That band's debut album, High Is As High Gets, was released in 2004 but obtained little to no success critically or commercially. Greves has contributedvocals for a track on the Neverending White Lights CD in 2006. Greaves still occasionally plays with Ken Tizzard in the 2-man band Audio Playground High + Wide.

Greaves is the archetypal melodicist, a singer and songwriter with an otherworldly voice who has always been all about hooks.
Greaves confesses to learning to play stringed instruments at least well enough to write riffs for this project, while Higgins remarks on the melodic directions he has taken with his new partner.
It captures Greaves' soaring vocal range and describes a love relationship in poetic terms, yet it is also shot through with a roiling, swirling guitar riff that encapsulates the song's emotional dynamic and Doctor's overall sense of controlled tension.
