2020 is off to a good start. I've been working on my home studio for awhile now and these are the first public results. Engineered and mixed by Eternal with his usual great vibe. My fearless Production Dog, Russell, was on the case too. Big thanks to Brad and Ed!

Rebecca Is Counting is a story about Bipolar disorder. About how it distorts perception and the ways that we structure our lives to deal with the conflicting points of view.
The bass under the vocal, flute and bari solos is synth played via MIDI on Lee's piccolo bass. The bass under the piccolo bass solo at the end is Brad on EWI
Rebecca Is Counting
These days throw colors
As she seeks numbers
An Icy blue smears summer
Red rages, truth moves under
Rebecca is counting
For her life
Making lists, seeking her right
The balance in equal on the edge of sight
Then the days throw numbers
As she wears the colors
Seven long days to seven long nights
That sharpen their teeth and time their bite
Rebecca is painting
For her life
Blending colors, shadow and light
Her picture sliding slowly into sight
Counting colors
Painting numbers
The fight is flight from unyielding night
Heart beating for balance with all its might
Rebecca is dreaming
Beyond these days
What she will take as the price is paid
And her task remains
