For Mia

This track and its arrangement is inspired by a lot of things:  initially it came from my late grandfather and my cousin, then Bowie's influence permeates everything I do, so he is there... and then I listened to an interview with Ted Gioia and Rick Beato about the future of music.  They spoke about the fallacy that the best pop song is three minutes long, and how a listener actually needs longer to reach a real connection with the music... so I let this track grow and grow until it felt right, it is now 6 and a half minutes long.  I also wanted my muso brain to mess with minds at the end, giving those who notice a 7/4 time signature for the final chorus.
I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks for listening.

Man is a song I do with my band Ruby Dawn. This is a take of the song but more like in an experimental sampling way. I've only used the line Man Where's Your Heart and followed a totally different structure mood and emotionality.  I really love experimenting with wordless vocals, or mixing some words in with no language based melodic lines. This way the music remains universal, and I can express an emotion without articulating it in any language.  Man is made of mostly harmonic voices and instrumentation.

Light At The Edge Of The World

This is a song about an epiphany.  It's a song about loving that moment when you are over someone you loved and who left you.
It's also about tennis and suicide.

SHE MAKES WAR - Devastate Me

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,
