It’s A People Thing

When I go for a walk in the woods, I love to be alone.

When I write a song I prefer to be alone.

And when I’ve performed my music I’ve almost always been alone.

But I’d prefer not to be.

My most enjoyable gig to date was a Homesong I played alongside my friend Les Oman in our manifestation as The Strunts. It was so much more relaxing to have someone to bounce off. To be in it together.

Perhaps a lot of this is subjective and personal to me.

But I really don’t think anyone in the room should be feeling "Alone” when music is happening. Above anything else, music and songs have the capacity to bring people together.

I think that’s their best quality.
