i just published a new song, “prison paradise,” as well as its accompanying video // this song just fell out into the air with very little coaxing / i felt i was able to capture what i’m feeling quite well in words, music, and even in video (not my strong suit) // i’ve been struggling lately, trying to find solid ground in a desolate, rather muted existence over the past few months — all the while, being set among a place of such beauty and happiness: my home in portland, oregon // alas, i’m captive to unforgiving forces of unemployment, interpersonal unresponsiveness, boredom, and (i’m reluctant to admit) loneliness // it’s quite a juxtaposition! thankfully, i have my guitar and modest technology for document // i hope you enjoy!
