So I sit down to record a new version of my song “Misfit” tonight, and I just know after 5 minutes that I simply don’t have *it* tonight.  Maybe it’s because I didn’t warm up my voice this morning like I usually do, or maybe it’s because it’s approximately 2,700 degrees in my room where I record… or maybe it was something I ate (aka, McDonald’s) earlier today.  Probably all of the above.

Some nights you just know you are better off focusing your energies on something else.  :-)  But that’s okay!  I’ll listen to the song on repeat for the next 72 hours and practice, and see if I can’t get it together this weekend.  Saturday is my birthday, by the way!

My song “Slow Dance” is a song I wrote for Amanda only a few months after we started dating (almost 3 years ago now!) It was inspired by our first New Year’s Eve together… It was freezing cold that night and her deck was covered in ice, so we went outside and we were sliding around on it and ended up slow dancing by ourselves for a little while. A few weeks later, I wrote this song!

A fun fact, in case you didn’t realize it already, is that the bridge of the song incorporates part of the bridge of “Boardwalk Baby.”  I thought it was neat to contrast a summer song with a freezing cold winter song and show that regardless of whatever season or circumstance life happens to have us in, love can make all things beautiful.
