AUGUST Preview — The Storm

Today I preview for you the lead-off track of the forthcoming Still Lost Bird Music album (out on the 23rd of next month): "The Storm".



It's a subtle thing that whispers with a dreamy, mysterious voice from beyond. The questions it raises about the songs that follow are: "Is the subject awake or asleep?" "Is this real or a dream?"

It's one of the most creatively produced tracks on the album (thanks to my friend Jeff who co-produced). For a short song (it clocks in at just less than a minute), the arrangement morphs several times: from a solo nylon string guitar, to an earth-trembling cloud of distortion, to echoing voices in the sky. It's about a feeling that's violent and hopeful and terrifying and comforting all at the same time. You were the wind.
