Yesterday I wrote this song for my unborn son.

And last night our dear friends Jeremy and Erin Hohengarten came to the apartment, and together we made this recording. One mic, one take and I'm so happy with how it came out. I was a pleasure to play with Jerm and Erin and I can't wait for our son to hear this. 

The track is entitled "Darkness and Light." It is a song of contradiction. it captures the conflicting emotions that come along with being a first time parent. Excitement mixed with shear terror, the rapturous beauty of my pregnant wife held in balance with the pain and discomfort she feels daily. 

A baby is a contradiction in a way; how could something so small make such a huge impact in one's life? I don't know, but I think I'm about to find out. I hope you enjoy not only the song, but the heart and story behind it.
