It feels good, on my 50th birthday and after 30 years of writing songs, to bring these “Phone Orphans” into the light – These songs have been hiding out on my phone, some of them for over eight years. They are about my family, my lovers and me. I recorded them alone in my living room into my voice memo app. I like their relaxed feel. These songs were mastered but we made no edits to the recordings. I hope you enjoy this intimate glimpse into my artistic process. All songs by me except “Up is a Nice Place to Be” by Rosalie Sorrels and “The Archers” with lyrics adapted from a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca. Tracks: Creatures of a Day / If You Could Hold Someone / Rocks of Time / Tree Climber / Up Is a Nice Place to Be / The Archers / Tiger Ocean Instrumental / Smoke Song / Valentine / Magnolia Sphere / Swan Dive / Next One, Maybe / Piano Improv / Beautiful Dreams
