Five Years Ago Today

Five years ago today, little sweetheart, we released the double-album Of Love and Loss. It was the first of these records that I will go on making, of, for and about you.

On this day that it came out, the band assembled downtown at a little club (that sadly, is no more) called Zirzamin and played the entire album in its sequence and entirety twice. Once at 7pm and again at 9pm. I felt your presence throughout, little sweetheart.

And afterwards, we drove back here to the studio, through the heart of the city, with the top down on an unseasonably warm night, the Friday before Halloween, lots of people in costume already. We loaded the gear back up the stairs here to the studio, then got sandwiches and drinks and watched A Hard Day’s Night together.

After it finished, we were still buzzing from the amazing night and we went up on the roof in the pre-dawn hours, looked skyward and I spoke to you.

Today, all day, I’ve been working on the new album, Sometimes in Dreams, that revisits and adds new music, narrative and context to the songs from that first album. You’re in my heart, as always, and your enchanting vocals fill the air here in the studio. I feel close to you and I am grateful. Grateful to and for you - the love and reason of my life. I will always always be yours. With all my love forever.
