#newsongnovember 15 has surfaced!
Ok. So. I will release yesterday’s song later today and I’m currently back on schedule and writing today’s song. Thank you for your patience.

This song is about a documentary I just watched about a prolific musician/tortured soul named Arthur Russell. The doc depicts him one of my greatest fears where a creator is completely overtaken by the creation process. I love creating and I love my life and finding a balance is never-ending.
The documentary is called Wild Combination: Arthur Russell and it’s on Prime under Wild Combination. I wrote this song for Arthur after watching it. I hope you enjoy it.

#newsongnovember
Is a one month challenge to write and share a new song everyday during November. My friend Lily DeTaeye came up with idea and this is her fourth year doing it. So please make sure you follow Lily as well. It seemed like a great exercise and I’m so excited to share it.
❤️

lyrics

-Arthur Russell (Never Ending Verse)
The world’s so strange, the world’s so cruel
A little lore of both when you make your own rules
You go against the grain
Long enough to drive you insane
In a world so strange

And curse this band inside my ceiling fan
Delusions getting worse
The blessing is a curse
And curse the songs that gleam me on and on
To a never-ending verse
The blessing is a curse

The night-life gives, the night-life takes
It don’t care too much for ranks
You got a hit
But you didn’t even know it
The night-life gives, the night-life takes

And curse the beats between the honks and beeps

Delusions getting worse
The blessing is a curse
And curse the songs that gleam me on and on
To a never-ending verse
The blessing is a curse...
