Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over – New Children's Book/Album

03.30.2015 / ‘Come & Go’ Music Video

Today marks the launch of my brand new music video for ‘Come & Go’!!!

This compelling day-in-the-life narrative was directed by award winning director Mike Southworth (2014 WCMA Video of the Year) and filmed by renowned cinematographer, Byron Kopman.

This video is a real departure for us since it was the first time I wasn’t actually in the video itself! Actor Garth Hodgson did a gorgeous job of bringing our hopeless character to life.

‘Come & Go’ is the title track off my latest 2014 album, and it deals lyrically with the impermanent and contrasting bittersweet elements of life, it’s situations and relationships and this gets played out allegorically in the filmed footage. We follow a door-to-door salesman, stuck in an unhappy daily routine of travelling alone from town to town, staying in seedy motels and eating mediocre meals by himself. He dreams of getting away, and when things take a dark turn on the road, he finally gets the escape he was longing for.

I hope you find your beautiful escape too! 🙂
