Hello friends,

I’m sharing a new project called “Death and Love” starting today. In 8 installments. It’s 12 songs you haven’t heard woven through a story you don’t know.

Jack is a brilliant but disillusioned songwriter.

Jillian is a brilliant but disillusioned financial wizard.

Once college sweethearts, they marry, have a child, and become trapped in a toxic cycle.

They search for fulfillment in one another, but the more they seek, the more elusive the answers become.

Through their struggles, we discover that only in pain can true beauty be found, and only in death can we fully understand the depth of love.

All I know how to do is create and share, so today part 1 of “Death and Love” is yours. Listen to the audio below. Or read it.

I hope this story resonates with you.Enjoy the journey.

With love,

Tom
