While the sun God will may your day, sing as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the one God will make for your way.
Neil Diamond
Image
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
Neil Diamond

When I am not writing, I'm dying.

Song Sung Blue took a lot of compressing and refining, and it has one of my favorite lyrics.
Neil Diamond
Image
I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.
