The Places You'll Go

"Amen is fucking epic. That's a song I'd be covering at the Gathering, if it were still a reality. Fucking EPIC." - Mike Perschon the Steampunk Scholar

It starts quiet. Give it more than three seconds. Stay with it. Like Pedro the Lion and Delirious? collaborated on an agnostic-but-clinging-to-faith praise and worship tune. 

Contains one profanity. Which rhymes with one use of "Jesus Christ." I don't care but some of you might? If you do, you probably shouldn't listen to my music.

Originally appeared as two separate tracks on my album "At Last My Dear." This version links the two as they are intended to be listened. It is a free download.



Glory Glory (Amen)

Acoustic demo version of 'The Garnet Forest,' with accompanying ethereal synths by Tristan Slater. 

The Forest (Synths)

Hey Graceful!

A song for a Kelowna girl. Written when we were in love, apparently as a good-bye song. I did not know it at the time. I love these lyrics. It may be my personal anthem. 

My vocals are not perfect but there are bits in here I really love. The lead guitar by Nathanael surprised the hell out of me the first time I heard it. It's quite pop, and it works.

A Red-Eye Lullabye

Ambient guitar piece evoking a powerful musical influence in my life - Nobuo Uematsu, composer for Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and many other classic video game RPGs. I envision this track as a 'forest theme' a la Chrono Trigger. It is named for my best friend, Daniel Garnet Sinclair, who lent me Final Fantasy II for the super nintendo and got me hooked.
