one of the songs that didn’t make it onto the upcoming album called “good times never last”
Our string session in the studio with the ridiculously talented Lorenza Ponce (Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow) and Dave Eggar (The Who, Coldplay, Evanescence) both of which played on Ray LaMontagne’s “Till the Sun Turns Black” album.
All We Have Is Now
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Quick teaser for song “All We Have Is Now”
Tell me where is now if we’re living in the past
or running so fast to the future
how will we know when we have arrived
Tell me why is now so difficult to see
it seems to be right here in front of me
begging for a second chance
Don’t know what I’m doing
don’t know why and I don’t know how
but all we have is now, all we have is now
don’t know where I’m going
not sure when and I’m not sure how
but all we have is now, all we have is now
all we have is now
Tell me when is now, I’ll be sure not to miss it
I’m far too quick to dismiss it
so many worries lie ahead
Don’t know what I’m doing
don’t know why and I don’t know how
but all we have is now, all we have is now
don’t know where I’m going
not sure when and I’m not sure how
but all we have is now, all we have is now
I know you know what I’m talking about
mind is racing, heartbeat a chasing
wish someone would come along and save me from myself
Don’t know what I’m doing
don’t know why and I don’t know how
but all we have is now, all we have is now
don’t know where I’m going
not sure when and I’m not sure how
but all we have is now, all we have is now

Fade To Blue
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Initial sketch of title track “Fade To Blue”… final recording is just as ambient recorded with 3 guitars (rhythm, resonator slide, and electric) and e-bow on grand piano.
Yellow colors meet the blue
purple shade across the land
the way you smile, the way you smell
the scent you leave on my pillow
and though the sun goes down
something beautiful remains
and as the stars shine through
we’ll all fade to blue
the tide recedes but leaves behind
a memory deep inside my mind
the way you laugh, the way you cry
the subtle spark in your eye
and though the sun goes down
something beautiful remains
and as the stars shine through
we’ll all fade to blue

Dance On My Grave
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Intial sketch (pre-band, pre-recording) of song “Dance On My Grave”. This song is written from the point of view of my mother (who passed away when I was in college) letting me know not to be sad, just celebrate the times we spent together. The recording with the full band is amazing. Can’t wait to share it with you. Has a very Tom Waits, True Blood vibe to it.

Our beloved Andy Stack tracking some overdubs on a song called “Gypsy Dream”. He plays with so much soul and is a joy to watch.
