I hung out at a friend’s house last night. I drank one beer and one small helping of wine. I don’t know why, but I’m a little hungover right now. I don’t think I consumed enough alcohol to justify the headache I am currently experiencing. Oh well. Maybe I need water or coffee or more sleep.
Today, this morning actually, I head off downtown to do my first official interview on behalf of my new album for one of the local newspapers here in Nashville. This is hugely exciting. They’ll be getting an advance copy of the album to get it reviewed, and it will be in their November issue. I’ll have more information on this as soon as possible.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the themes behind “Seahorses”, and I’m very confident that I’ll be able to discuss them thoroughly. I’ll have to walk that fine line between sharing enough insight without sharing too much. There is a lot about the album that will be mysterious to anyone who will hear it, but this is totally my intention. One has to leave something for the imagination and for one’s own interpretation. I don’t believe there will be a wrong way to relate to any of these 11 songs.
I’ve also had to really decide the degree to which I will be honest about who I am and what my music relates to. This won’t be easy, but I will be completely transparent and just plain honest. When you read this interview, you’ll know what I mean.
In any case, I have to get ready to go. Wish me luck.
Have a flower . . .
