Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
I promised some love songs weekly through the holidays. This week's song is Pearls, co-written with May Lily Lee, a musician friend and gifted videographer in Richmond, VA. The music came to me on a bluff overlooking Robinhood Cove in southern Maine at the songwriters' retreat - the morning light was sizzling in golden white chains across the water. She has a thing about pearls. I passed that line and a recording off to May Lily who came up with a lyrical draft that we then worked on together. I recorded it a couple of years ago, but added some extra instrumentation this morning. Walk in the light!
A couple of folks have mentioned they bookmark the songs to listen again and it's getting clutterred - I've put up a playlist of these songs for those few to simplify things!
In these times of no live performances, I'm sending you a bi-weekly offering from original music I've been writing over many years, including a new round of songs that has sprung from the recent stay-at-home time. I've been so bold as to add your email to my newsletter list. You can unsubscribe at any time (link at the bottom of the email).
Many songs are recorded solo, some are from different musical twinings from over the years - all are original tunes, with some occasional collaborations.
My best to each,
Brian
