So these days, due to some very difficult personal issues going on in my life, I’m having an easier time writing music than actually writing. I guess that’s a silver lining. Here’s my latest song, called ‘The Divide.’ Hope you like it.
You can hear my last song, The Historian, by clicking here.

That’s a fine line.Report
Yeah, every now and again a line like that appears and I actually remember to write it down…Report
I hope that personal pain is not a necessary catalyst for good art. Because I hope that this good art continues to be produced, in the absence of personal pain.Report
It’s funny how that works. I haven’t written any good songs in ages and then I have this huge crisis and the songs appear. But I really hope the same thing as you…because this is really shitty.Report
