Hello, WordPress, my old friend. It’s been ages. Sorry for the long hiatus. Life and time have a way of running off together, and by the time I finally find my shoes, they’ve already disappeared around the corner. Rude. 

I’m here for a brief moment but I’ll have more random nonsense to post at a later date. Lots of good things in the works, my latest poetry collection will be arriving soon, and we also have a few interesting excursions coming up that I can’t wait to share. For today, though, I simply wanted to talk about music.

One of my current favorite artists is Noah Kahan. If you aren’t familiar, please acquaint yourself with this young man’s work .He’s what would happen if Paul Simon and Bob Dylan had a baby.. Noah’s music is human in the best way possible. He has this rare ability to make songs feel both intimate and expansive.. His writing blends folk, indie, and Americana influences with deeply personal storytelling about mental health, nostalgia, loneliness, home, and the ache of growing older. His latest work aptly titled, The Great Divide captures the space between what was and what will be. Noah writes from a place of self reflection and is painfully honest with himself and his listeners. Be warned his music is melancholy, but conversely,, also so uplifting and life affirming. Pretty sure sad girl summers were invented by him. You always get the impression he’s sitting on the back porch at dust with the weight of the world on his shoulders, writing his maladies into something lyrical and beautiful.

Here are three of my favorite songs off the album/

“You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life”
