—---------------------------

Most of these songs were conceived around the time of Y2K. They were written and shelved, and life moved on -- until the world stopped in 2020. A helpful reminder that sometimes it takes things going off the rails in order to get back on track...

"A Silly Thing" written in 1999.
"Complicated" written in 2000.
"Lonely" written in 2021.
"Come Home" written in 2002.

This KIND WORLD EP is just the beginning - on that same dusty shelf is an unreleased library of more than 30 songs, some dating as far back as 1995. 

More will be forthcoming.

KIND WORLD is an aspiration and a declaration - that music can inspire and heal us, deepen our understanding and connection with ourselves and others, and in the process, make the world a kinder place. 

KIND WORLD is a meditation on impermanence - to understand life as a gift that allows us to cultivate those essential things that can only be seen with the heart.

KIND WORLD is an invitation - to meet in that place, beyond right and wrong, and see what arises
