truth. These are lyrics to a song I wrote back in the late 1980's. I have found that I often need to hear the message in songs that I write. I do not know the source of inspiration, but then again, maybe I do. It's just that there's no word or name big enough to define the energy. I appreciate that so many people are hearing the music I produce. This expression has meaning, and purpose. Artists are given the task of bringing emotion to humanity. All of us are burdened by experiences that are difficult to understand, only to find that in the end, the purpose was to enrich our capacity to empathize, and love. I am reconciling the sudden loss of my father, who was 86 years old, and was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer - two days before he died. I'm dreaming music. This is how I process life. I began sketching songs that speak to "looking back" a year ago. I expect there's something in the lyrics that will reveal how to better live with the loss. Until then, peace.
