If the widget thingy above is working properly you’ll now be hearing the new tune I completed to commemorate today’s official release of my latest novel from Walker Books, SPLIT.
SPLIT (the novel) tells the story of Wade Jackson, a teen torn between a bohemian love for music and his more academic ambitions in physics and computer science. Rather then choose, a quirk in the universe allows him to pursue both, creating two Wades, and two very different worlds.
The lyrics of several songs appear throughout Wade's stories, but this I think encapsulates the book. Truth be told, I wrote the lyrics back in my early twenties, while living in a small studio apartment in Mt. Vernon. The melody is something I came up with a few months ago, making the song a collaboration between my own selves, separated more by time than ambition.
The piece was recorded over the last few months in my living room. I’m on guitar, piano, lead and backup vocals, with Rob Sunderland on mandolin, bass, and harmonies and Bruce Scofield on harmonica.
The MP3 can be downloaded for free by visiting my music page and right-clicking on the appropriate link. Pax!
