This Is The Cosmic Joke

This is “Always In Awe”, from the new album.  The past ten days have been really difficult.  I’ve suffered through a pair of unspeakable tragedies involving friends and their families, and it’s caused me to really think about our lives and how fragile they are.  This song was written in response to another tragedy that shook my world nearly three years ago, and in the wake of recent losses, I’ve found myself revisiting and even reworking parts of it onstage, as therapy for myself and others.  It seems as relevant now as the day it was written, and it continues to take on new meaning.

Sometimes sad music can be way more powerful than happy music.  

Thanks for listening.
