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

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

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.
Next steps for the album: heading back into our home base studio in brooklyn to finish recording vocals, edit the tracks, and work with our string players. They are both amazing and have played with a number of incredible artists including coldplay, ray lamontagne, jon bon jovi, sheryl crow, the who, sinead o’connor, pearl jam, evanescence, beyonce and corrine bailey ray to name a few :)
Rehearsing with the band tomorrow and monday, then heading upstate to record the album! will post some footage from rehearsal. Happy Easter everyone!
Here is where we will be recording:
