Russ Nixon
Written for my beautiful, intelligent, always capable, imaginative daughter who is as light as air, as powerful as the wind, and as amazing as my love for her is deep.
My wife wanted me to dance with her... so I wrote a song I could dance to.
I recorded this in October of 1996; I was 17. I had just gotten my O1/W and the inspiration was abundant.
I believe there is something bigger than I am out there.. as soon as I let go, the music comes from somewhere beyond me
This song has carried us through a very tumultuous time on our journey.. Overcoming, we are now emerging on the other side.
Written for film. Inspired by life... and Shakespeare.
For the birth of my nephew... who is now 6. Enjoy your journey, Aaron

My tribute to our country, in response to the events of September 11, 2001
This piece was in the process of being written right after I met the woman I married. She remembers this piece being the first she heard of my work. She says it gave her a sense of us, and what we already were, but mostly of what was to come.
