"I hope you know what you're doing. I'm starting to believe there's more to love than losing." 

Love is a complicated experience and this song captures a piece of that certain uncertainty about as good as any I ever had a hand in writing.

THE PERFECT WEEKEND

Over the years, some people have asked me “Have you ever recorded a follow up to ‘From Here to Eternity?” They told me they would like a song that would be about the same couple a few years into their marriage. This is that song. 

Co-written with my producers Robert Ellis Orrall and Josh Leo, the song “Before Another Day Goes By” was a hidden track on the “Being Human” album. As a result, some of you may have missed this…until now. Enjoy!
