It’s absurd that war is just “declared,” whereas peace requires “negotiation.”
Peace, for some reason, always requires a “process.”
Sometimes you have to “sue” for peace. Taking someone to court, in a way, makes you an aggressor, so, in a way, litigating the end of a war turns aggressors into defendants, and defenders into plaintiffs.…

Words Of Release [off Goodbye Monday Blue (2009) and Reflected.10×10 (2012)] catalyzes a tuna salad niçoise in the latest episode of #TorradaTorrada‘s #TorradaFresh with Luanda Gazoni. The YouTube description has Luanda giving my work a wonderful shout-out, too, and the feeling’s mutual. Amo from Brooklyn to Brazil, Luanda!

My track Words Of Release soundtracks an extreme ride down Uganda’s White Nile River. Awesome that a song about peace makes such sense against raging waters. Wonderful cinematography. My track starts approximately 01:50.
Uganda’s politics around self-expression and gender are not aligned with mine (understatement), but you rarely have control over where your music is placed (just ask Chrissy Hynde about Rush Limbaugh’s daily use of My City Was Gone).…

New track for a new year. The dove and the hawk are clawing at each other again.
Hey
I need you to bail me out again
I don’t know that I can
I’ve got artifacts from a war I need to give to a widowHey
You said you’d be waiting home for me
Now I don’t know where you are
And I can’t tell the distance from the echoes(I’ve got) Words of love
(I’ve got) Words of peace
And when she hears these words
They will be her releaseYou
Brace for the future you don’t know
Long ago you told your friends you’d never changeI
Carry these remains
Rushing forward on a train
I can’t say that they’ll ever reach their destinationNow
I’m leaving once again
Papers have been sent
Time has been spent(I’ve got) Words of love
(I’ve got) Words of peace
And when she reads these words
They will be her release
