about

Here are the stories behind the songs:

Polishing Stones – This song has all the elements of the entire disk, ‘Polishing Stones’. It is a very rich song sonically and lyrically; every musician who played on this album is on this song. It is the summary and guiding light for this period of my life that has been a time of self-reflection and solitude. When I was studying Indian singing, my teacher, Francesca Cassio, taught me to work on every note as I would be polishing stones.

I am Love – Here is a playful song to express the joy of discovering love inside oneself then re-emerging with a light-hearted and spirited desire to share this joy. There comes the letting go of the need to look for love outside oneself.

Song of Solitude – An elderly Italian woman advised me to ‘Be quiet now’; which I take to my heart to calm myself . So continues the re-occurring theme of practicing patience in the search for love; to learn to trust yourself and believe that things happen when you are ready. Musically inspired by a full-immersion into the music of Brazil.

Make a Love – What happens when love is recognized as a natural process and allowed to grow and become a love that never stops.

I Found You – The search is almost over… but not quite.

It’s Never Too Late – To do all the things you thought you could never do… a tongue-in-cheek wedding song 😉

Reunion – I’ve heard it said that we human beings are taken away from our mothers too soon; then we spend the rest of our lives searching to return to a mother-figure. This is a human condition that creates a longing inside of us. Sometimes, in our innocence and desperation we are mistaken and we find ourselves in dark unknown places.

Across Your Heart – I was laying on my back in a field watching and waiting for falling stars. I felt I could be a star falling across a person’s heart and landing in their arms. This is a comfortable and warm song.

In your Hands – Yet another hopeful and joyous song of discovery and following a good feeling. Musically and lyrically inspired by Stevie Wonder in my mind and heart, as well as Brazilian chord structure and melody.

Anyone But You – A darker and twisted ghost track, recorded solo guitar/vocal live in the studio. I enjoyed writing the lyrics and playing with the double meanings.
