BROTHER DOWN

I believe in the power of friendship. As a lyricist I have always found great company and inspiration from my many friends. I like to write about the vignettes of their lives.

In my group of friends there are a few key brothers who have been my lifelong friends, my running buddies, my confidantes.

One of the best was my friend Brian Whitmore. He passed too soon and left me with too many unspoken conversations. I am still angry. I will always miss him. Fuck Cancer.
