about

"My Fading Star" was written on on a beautiful Sunday morning, the energy just right to produce a happy song like this. It was inspired by the self realization that, no matter the challenges life encounters, love is always enough to see you through, an unending beacon in a convoluted world. My wife Carolyn is that light for me, and shines brightly when my own light is fading, reminding that the best moments are always right in front of me.

lyrics

Got to hold on tight to the hand that soothes this aching heart
Even though, sometimes the grip is so tight it leaves a mark
There were the screaming matches , locking latches
More than one fresh start
Got to hold on tight to the love that lights my fading star

Hard to change a challenged frown when struggle fills the room
Anger finds an open door and rushes in too soon
There are silent stretches, placing wedges , a space that feels so far
Got to always lift the powered love that lights my fading star

In this universe so vast and open
Loneliness leaves no hope just blind devotion
Not wanting to float free, You're my gravity

A strong rope and loads of commitment
Prevent a fall from grace
Still it takes a wanting and needing to ever survive this place
As the years have passed, bombs have blasted
holes in Venus and Mars
Still her light did shine all the time for my fading star
