This evening, this time, exactly 1 year ago, we recorded this little jam before our show at The Bedford! I had just finished this song, which turned out to be called ‘Who Am I’, and it also turned out to be one of the most important song I’ve ever written, for myself. The show turned out to be one of my favorites too. 

I can’t believe it’s only 1 year ago, it feels like a life-time and so much has changed since then. In a good way.

“Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”

-  Henry Miller

“The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”

“I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me.”

“And then there were the ways you watched me moving back into my cave where the wheels turn, same wheels that drove you off. I should have told you before talking in terms of forever that any given day wears me out and works me sour, that there are nights when the sky is so clear I stand obnoxious underneath it begging for stars to shoot me just so I can feel at home.”
