Happy New Year! 7 years ago (2015), we recorded original pop songs in San Francisco at Tiny Telephone (and elsewhere). Finally, here is 1! Thank you, all patiently involved, including my cousin! đź’–
“THE AMBASSADOR” is a song I wrote imagining how to pitch love to someone who does not experience it. There is a lot of sociopathy in the entertainment industry (and world). Pitching love to folks on an empathy-blind spectrum is dangerous and not necessarily recommended. Creativity is just ground 0 for overcoming tough obstacles.

Much love to you this New Year đź’–
lyrics
The Ambassador's waiting to woo you anew
Like a baby is waiting to wake up and move
Love in the dark is a hard path to choose
When you know what you know and you do what you do
This pain is all he ever knew of Love
This way is all he ever knew, oh no
Oh no
