    After making 'Never Late than Better' during the pandemic, this was a full year in the making between long drives out to Thom Flowers (dude has produced the Ataris!) in Santa Barbara from Long Beach, getting lost (twice), piano shows, moving to the Northeast, and general dislocation and questioning-of-one's-life-choices.
    It took almost 2 years from my first album, but after both in-studio and home recording plus some talented mixing and mastering help, proud of the 6 songs here.
    The first track is a Wes-legacy song.
    I wrote it when I was about 19, and it went through several lyrical changes thereafter. It was called 'Shakespeare' for some reason; I could never find a title I liked. I stole a minor line from a Julian Lennon song about 'watching the shadows on my wall' and related it to the sense of the shadow that time casts over all of us; a shadow we learn to live with, even as we grow weary of it's sly presence.

    There's TMI, I am signing and sending one your way. High quality premium Ferric tape on a new Tascam unit via Mobineko. Lifetime of growing up making my own recordings on cassette, this is a real come-full-circle moment for me. Thanks for being here.

about

4th single from upcoming EP 'Satori' produced by Thom Flowers

lyrics

It’s the last call
for your soul
drink until you’ve had enough
to fill a hole
do you need a love song
what’s a love song?
Why you need a love song –
What’s the goal?
Searching through a jungle
It’s all jumbled
Flailing out your arms to
Slow the fall…

Up, down….where’s ground?
Count to ten – draw!
Lose your own duel it’s the only way off the seesaw

Hit the last wall
Catapult
Insanity just does the same
For a different result
When you found a love song
You were far gone
Too late for your love song
To grab a hold
Hitchhiking the desert
Covered in dirt
Schizophrenic lesson
Never told

(chorus)

The sun peaked out and washed down across my face
All alone, no money but a state of grace
As free as the day in which I was born
No need for the road I will make my own
I ran like a beggar into the wind
Gave bad directions to paths I quit
Farewell to the story which he still holds
May still be a fool but I bleed real gold !

It’s the last call…for your soul
Drink until you’ve had enough…
Fill a hole

Up, down, where’s ground ?
Count to ten – draw!
Lose your own duel it’s the only way off the seesaw
