This song is dedicated and about my brother Peter Marchand, who passed away this past in the summer of 2012.  My brother wrote a song called "Absolutely 6th Street", so you can figure out the rest. The lyrics in the spacey and bluesy middle are from "6th Street".

John Paul Marchand-Guitar, vocals, harmonica, samples, and production.


Absolutely 7th Street written by John Paul and Peter Marchand

This song will both be on my next record "The Thunderstorm Effect" and my upcoming rock opera, "Farflung: In The Company of Wizards".
In the rock opera, the Jester and  the Apprentice of Wizardry Farflung feels at a loss to help the state of our modern world. Merlin his teacher, sings with a megaphone!

Walking Through The Sun is part of a movement of a kind, called "The Sparrow Song", that will be on my next record, "The Thunderstorm Effect".

Walking Through The Sun

My brother Peter Marchand passed away this past July. He was a musician and had written a song about spiritual redemption (called "Absolutely 6th Street"), at a place on 6th Street in San Fran. The lyrics at the bridge of the song are his, they are in "6th Street". "You can't find the morning..."

So now that he is above and beyond-I've called the song what I have because he's now "the next street" up, and I hope when I go "up to the next block" I see him again. I love him a lot, he was/is the kindest person I've ever known. (next to my brother Hank and sister Joan! Haha!
