– New Song, “This Journey” Coming This Week
All right, folks, it’s time to start showing off the new songs!!! I’m very excited to have the first of this group to be posted be “This Journey” which is in fact my newest song at this point. It was only written last month and went through full production exceptionally fast. It shows off a different side of me, not only from a songwriting point of view, but vocally as well. Split into two unique sections, no guitar solos or thick harmonies are employed in this arrangement. I hope you find it to be as refreshing a track from some of my usual productions as I have. It has been a lot of fun to put it together!
A little bit more background on this song. It is my fourth collaboration with lyricist Cait Rosellini, whose name you’ll be hearing a lot more of as these songs get released. Also, this is the first song in a long time that I wrote outside of my home environment, without one of my own instruments! Maybe that’s why it came out a little different? I was down at my brother’s house in Portland, playing his guitar as I helped his family through my niece’s surgery. So it came together in one afternoon as I had a little extra time during her recovery, and as much as I fought myself against the two separate sections, it was just one of those things that felt right. So I went with it and ended up loving it. I very much hope you do too!
Look for my mid-week posting announcement for “This Journey”.
