Artist picture
Sold a song to Disney at 12, masterminded a family band in my teens, wrote theater/cabaret in NYC in my youth, quit songwriting for a spell, now I’m back!
I love writing songs that capture strong feelings I’ve had about a time, person or place, and that wrap you in those feelings with a sumptuous arrangement and much to surprise the ear. I’m drawn to seductive rhythms and sophisticated chords, and themes of longing, carnality and joy. I want my listeners to be astonished!

Story behind the song
This song started life as a Guaijira, more of a party song suggested by the preset on my arranging keyboard. As the lyric developed, however, the song took on a life of its own, and told us it needed a more intense and sophisticated treatment.
Lyrics
What was I thinking? Who do I think myself to be? Did I ride on a trip And decide to rip myself free From my life's best reason to be? It can't be true! Whatever made me think I could ever LIVE WITHOUT YOU How could it happen That I could ever be so blind As to question and test The best thing I'll ever find Was I that far out of my mind? It can't be true! Whatever made me think I could ever LIVE WITHOUT YOU You gave me space Space became distance Now my life Is mere existence The million ways You filled my days are all gone What made me think That I could go on? Can I get back there Back to the person that I've always been And the way that we were The way I was sure Way back when We'd be happy to the end Now I know that it's true Whatever made me think I could ever LIVE WITHOUT YOU
