Gonna Run Away With It
I am Ironman.
With this one, I purposely kept it stripped down. I could have lavished it up, but I wanted the tone to match the stark clarity of realization. Sometimes this one sounds thin... (more)

Love Sweet Love
Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.

Ville De Small
This song sounds best if you can drive through Hollywood Hills, or anywhere in Southern CA. Funny how I happen to live in NH, eh? Another song that came from a simple gtr line (the intro).

A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET... (more)

Keep Your Light
The closing track of Dearly Departed. I will come back, but I don't know where or when. Open, ethereal, a departure in terms of tone, and for me.
