I swim in awkward. I soak and writhe in it. Awkwardness makes it’s way into every part of my body, into the crevasses and canyons of my soul. It sticks to me, heavy and thick, like invisible hot tar.
Awkward and I have a love-hate relationship. I love the subtle awkwardness of life, the moments that make it more than a scripted play. The problem is, sometimes subtly is kicked to the side and replaced with a hard slap to the face. It’s those moments I’d like to trade in for another -ness.
I think I’ll go back to bed now. My head is throbbing and I need to ice the burning handprint on my cheek.

Buy it if only to listen to The Age of Worry over and over and maybe a few more times after that.

The official release copy of Born and Raised (just opened) next to the track list on my refrigerator since 5/11. Keep working for that final product. You will get there.
Edited to add: The song ‘Helpless” isn’t a cover of the classic CSNY song… it was a tune I wrote that I really like but something about it didn’t match the DNA of the album. Same with “Living Proof.”
This album makes me feel like I’m sitting in the sun no matter where I listen to it. It radiates warmth.
Slow Jam The News with President Barack Obama!
This is so so good.
