Warm Intentions

"Brightest Light" is a track from pianist and composer Falkner Evans' album Invisible Words on Consolidated Artists Productions (August 13, 2021).

The recording is Evans' solo piano debut and a musical portrait of his wife Linda, who tragically took her own life in May of 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. Invisible Words is both Evans’ celebration of Linda’s life and an integral part of the healing process he’s been undergoing since her passing. Composing the album’s music became the means by which Evans returned to the piano after three and a half months spent unable to even approach the keyboard. The result, he explains, is not meant as a tribute to but a “snapshot” of his beloved wife through his own lens.

The resplendent "Brightest Light," a reference to Evans' enduring picture of his wife, is one of eight gorgeous tracks imbued with profound emotion and musicality, performed by a jazz pianist with an uncommon touch and style.

Falkner Evans
Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Falkner Evans is a New York-based jazz pianist with an eclectic musical background. A third cousin to iconic author William Faulkner, Evans grew up on classic 60s rock and R&B before getting hooked on jazz in high school, then garnered his first professional experience playing with famed western swing band Asleep At The Wheel for four years. He moved to New York City in 1985 and quickly became involved in the busy scene, recruiting Cecil McBee and Matt Wilson for his leader debut, Level Playing Field. Two more trio dates followed before Evans expanded his horizons in 2011 for the quintet outing The Point of the Moon and even further for the masterful septet release Marbles in 2020.

Brightest Light - Falkner Evans

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah!
C'mon, c'mon, uh,
To all my bitches that be livin' it up, we say...
To all my niggas that be livin' it up, we say...
To all my bitches that be givin' it up, ah,

C'mon baby, you're such a typical, everyday, one night thing,
It's a physical, I'ma fuck, you tonight thing,
Fuck knowing your name, get your ass in the Range and rollover,
Gettin' blown while blowing the doja,
Bringin' head to a closure, that's a good bitch,
Before it's all over, I'ma leave this bitch,
Probably treat this bitch more better,
'Cause if you ain't know, gangstas and hoes go together,
Poppin' my collar, partna,
Who in the spot? Baby, Rule in the spot!
In the mug and the watch, love me,
Half the hoes hate me, half them love me,
The ones that hate me only hate me 'cause they ain't fucked me,
And they say I'm lucky...
Do you think I've got time to fuck all these hoes?
And do all these shows?
Or flight in the lama, Dodge and White Rolls,
Uh-oh, another episode...

What, do I do?
To all my niggas that be livin' it up, we say...
What, I do...
To all my bitches that be givin' it up, uhh,
What, you do...
To all my niggas that be livin' it up, we say...
What, do I do?
To all my bitches that be givin' it up, uhh,
My love for you!
C'mon,

I got a stick, I'll ride right next to you
Do a doughnut, and cut, and I'll op...

My submission for the perpetual, annual rotation of Christmas songs. Honouring the great Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion through a rough Christmas Rap parody.

There's some ho’s in this house

I got dat big white beard
Work one day a year 
Christmas presents
Make that holiday cheer! (ah)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah I’m droppin’ off them Christmas presents
Better hang your stockings up for this Christmas present
Askin’ Santa all he got for this Christmas present

Write a list, I ain’t gonna charge
Santa’s elves workin’ extra hard
Tear the present right out its place
Don’t even worry about the card

What chu got? I want a ride
That new push bike – take it outside
Sit on the couch, let you decide
Which present is best, look at your eyes 

Popping out - look so surprised
Let’s dress up, like Spiderman-ise
I want to be spendin’ all day long playing with little toy cars

Scary movies, make me scream
Thank you for this new TV
It ain’t cheap, it ain’t free
But now guess what – it’s time for dins (yum yum)

Christmas food, fills you good
But I always got room for some Christmas pud
Home Alone bringin’ them feels back again
Even though you old, it still feels the same

Look, I need a White Christmas, I need Let It Snow
I need a Dean Martin, I need a King Cole
Not the Buble, I need Mariah Carey
Singing how much she wants me yearly

You like Star Wars? POP figurine-a
Dragon Ball Z – well here’s a Vegeta
Harry Potter on DVD-ah
Ain’t read the books? How can that be-ah!

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah you wanting all them Christmas presents
A barbie in a box – that’s a Christmas present
A figure action cop – that’s a Christmas present

Run to the shop, have you forgot to get a Christmas present?
Now keep writing all you want for a Christmas present
I’m asking what, what, what you want for Christmas presents?
A box of chocolates – that’s no Christmas present, huh!

There’s some ho’s in this house
