In our 27 years of living in harmony, I wrote a zillion love songs for my beloved late wife, Simone. She was easy to write for as the spark of love and adoration between us never waned. From all of those songs, I chose three to lead off the upcoming "𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙆𝙞𝙨𝙨" album. The rest of the songs on the album took time for me to grieve, heal, and gain perspective.
After her transition, with my pain at its peak, many song pieces were written to help move the waves of agony through, but these were never intended to become actual songs, and you most certainly do not want to hear these. Raw expressions that served me well.
Time passed, healing and internal shifts took place. A year later in the south of Spain, I locked myself in a hotel room overlooking the ocean for four days and nights, and the album's six other songs flowed forth from my heart.
As a whole, the album covers my life with Simone — songs of new love, a wedding proposal, a sense of helplessness having to do with her illness, her passing, my grieving and healing... and eventually, my return to once again living fully with her love and wisdom ever alive inside of me. May it touch your soul as it has mine.
