New Music: Here is Fool For Waiting

Today is the day: New Music.

Hello love,

I'm so thrilled to have Fool For Waiting out into the world. Love songs haven't typically been in my comfort zone, and to be honest, when I first wrote this, I kinda figured it'd be better sung by somebody else. But my wife really encouraged me to give it a shot, and it now feels like an exciting gesture - grounded in my early work and yet very much reaching forward.

It's about finding someone who makes you feel less crazy, or at least someone who finds your craziness endearing because it’s real. And that real, imperfect love is not always as dramatic as a wild romance, but that it’s worth waiting for.

The song was produced by Simone Felice (Lumineers, Bat For Lashes) and engineered/mixed by Ryan Hewitt (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers). I recorded the vocals and piano live off the floor with drummer Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent). The take feels a bit imperfect in a nice way. There’s a moment at the end where I chuckled on the line ‘Oh, and they tell me’. Simone liked it because he couldn’t tell if I was laughing or crying. And ain’t that just life…

To celebrate the new release, I spent the weekend smashing my head against the wall building this new website. 

There are lots of exciting things coming down the pipe, including a music video, but I'll leave it at that for now. I really hope you enjoy the song. I'm working on getting the rest of the new album finished as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be supporting Kaleo for a handful of shows coming up!

Thanks kindly for reading. The song went live late last night and I was overwhelmed by the response this morning. It's an incredible gift to have your work in the lives of other people and it's not something I take for granted. Your support means the world.

Much love,
