I write songs about love, life, sex, loss, gain, power, ambition and pain that has turned into something else. I play piano because I write songs. I write songs because I am forced to by my muse. Sometimes I get up at night and have to write something down because my body won’t let me sleep if I don’t. Some of the songs come whole. They flow out onto the paper- lyrics first. Sometimes the music comes first and it takes months to finish the lyrics. I am a pawn and a slave to my work/play. I am a willing accomplice in a beautiful, scary dance. It’s not like I think it’s going to change the world- just my inner planet- and my family’s, and maybe a listener or two, for a minute or three. I am in love with life and my friends and my children and their children and the earth. I want to be a good person and find my talents and gifts and give them back to my community with humility and grace. Forgive me for my indiscretions and my shortcomings. I keep learning.
