Thoughts & Prayers

In the summer of 2016, I was inspired to write this song as a reaction to all of the senseless violence that, unfortunately, has only intensified in the years since. The morning after I wrote this song, I called my good friend and oft-collaborator Jeremy Johnston and told him I absolutely had to track it to tape immediately. So we ventured into SubCat Studios a few mornings later and I tracked this straight to 2” tape, no edits, no overdubs, just pure and raw. I’ve sat on it for so long…partly because it still brings me to tears to play it so it’s tough to play live…sorry, I know I’m a bit of a dick…but also partly because I had other music coming out around then and then because I essentially gave up music for a while around 2019 or so. As I make my return to stages, radios, and streaming players all over the world I figured it would be fitting to finally let this one get out there. I do hope y’all enjoy it.
