about
traveling the sun is my first album exploring some of my musical "roots" in 60's and 70's progressive rock, albeit with a twist or two.

with this album i started with a set ensemble of instruments that could actually be gathered together on a stage and played by real people. i've approached this more like chamber music - instead of picking instruments (sounds) for a particular piece, all the musicians are already standing on the stage (virtually) and i've had to find something for them to do on each song.

the ensemble: piano, organ, celesta, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, drum kit, 2 violins, 2 celli, saxophone (special guest on track 4), tubular bells (special guest on track 12).

Track Name: slip away
if i could, i’d leave this town
slip away, without a sound
still my life turns round and round
can’t find my way to the common ground

life is cold, and so unsure
as we grow old, and bitter more
so take my hand against winter’s roar
what the hell are we fighting for

and you
you look so fine
afterglow
beneath streetlight tonight

if i could, i’d leave this town
slip away, without a sound
slip away
slip away
Track Name: traveling the sun
we are one
traveling the sun
searching for someone
nowhere left to run

in a dream
nothing’s what it seems
silent picture scenes
you know what i mean

and i
i fall down

on the ground
fall without a sound
no one else around
this destiny i’ve found

we are one
traveling the sun
take it as it comes
waiting for someone
Track Name: sometimes we fade
when the lights are low
and we’ve nowhere left to go
sometimes
we fade

when we say hello
and we’re greeted by the cold
sometimes
we fade
sometimes
we fade


when this life has run aground
bereft of sight and sound
sometimes
we fade

there’s a ring around the moon
there’s a shadow in the room
sometimes
we fade
sometimes
Track Name: patterns in the snow
i don’t know why we’re here
and i cannot say just what it is we fear
search for the answers in a faded photograph
maybe this time the dream will last

i don’t know why we’re blind
choosing a path that leaves our love behind
a race for the cure for what cripples all mankind
seeking to break those ties that bind

i don’t know how we stand
up on this hill of righteousness and sand
take it from one who’s fallen down so many times
yes it’s a mountain we must climb

once, when i was alone
i saw patterns in the snow
they held truths i did not know
but now, there’s darkness on the road
there is this shadow in my soul
and the truth is something i don’t know
anymore

i don’t know what is real
and i cannot say just how it is i feel
some kind of dark and magnificent malaise
the burden of all our yesterdays
Track Name: kaleidoscope
kaleidoscope in my mind, take me back to my home
these streets are dark and i’m low on time
i feel this chill to my bones

you were young, but so was i
we cast dreams in cloudless skies
unaware of ebbing tides
no one wants to close their eyes

kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope
show me where you are
kaleidoscope, oh kaleidoscope
let me be your shining star

kaleidoscope in my mind, take me back to my soul
this world is dark and i’m low on time
no one wants to be alone
no one wants to be alone
i never meant to be alone

kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope
show me where you are
kaleidoscope, oh kaleidoscope
let me be your shining star
