I’ve been on this earth a fair amount of years, most of them I’d count myself lucky while a handful have been quite challenging. If I’ve learned anything, they sneak up on you, the hard years, and this one was no exception. I won’t bore you with my story, since so many of our stories overlap these days. What I will say, is that in a year where I’ve spent more time behind a laptop than a piano, I woke up a couple weeks ago with a little hope in me and a song. I recorded it on my favorite piano at 4th Street in Santa Monica and had the amazing Suzy Shinn produce it a few days later in hopes of finding some speakers in time to wish you all well. Wherever this song finds you in life, whether you feel inclined to skip it or listen on repeat, I send it on with the sincere hope that whatever hardships and beauty you’ve encountered this year. you find half the hardship and twice as much beauty in the next.

LYRICS
December arrived like a fire with the wind
Yeah this year I can hardly believe
When all of our plans just slipped through our hands
Like paper boats washed out to sea
Hope the things that went missing come back when you need
And I’m wishing you happy new year
And I hope your dreams will come true dear
That your money gets made
That they throw you parades
And patch up your boat with strong glue
Here’s to a year that’s brand new
Remember the highways, the birthdays, the friends
Remember airplanes and parties and shows
All the things that you miss
All the days that we drift
All the dreams you let go of
I want you to know that I’m
Wishing you happy new year
And I hope your dreams will come true dear
That your money gets made
That your music gets played
And the bar’s open late just for you
Here’s to a year that’s brand new
And I’m wishing you happy new year
And I hope your dreams will come true dear
That your money gets made
That you’re loved and you’re safe
That you win so much more than you lose
If it’s dark that the light’s coming soon
Here in a year that’s brand new
