about

Hey All! I'm so happy to release the title track to my new record which is coming out this Friday July 31st on all the streaming services. "Beauty Inside Us" is one of my favorites in part because of the beautiful piano riffs and solos by my buddy Gary Sidell and the sweet guitar work of another buddy Nate Hendrie .. along with a soaring organ and the beautiful arrangement by Nick Vandenberg... all make it the big open heart kinda song that I was hoping it could be.

This track is on the 2nd side of the album and I picked it as the Title Track because the whole record is an exploration of how madly driven we are, despite the many ways that each of us messes up, to keep trying to show up with love. To try to be good humans...to take care of each other, to be vulnerable, to be useful and known and understood. What ever it is that is the kernel (or the 'spark' as the amazing Frankie Blackburn calls it) of this openness and kindness, must reside in a place that is really really deep inside us.... and how lucky we are for that!!

"There's beauty Inside us, it's been there inside us forever"

lyrics

Beauty Inside Us
We all have limits to the places we’ll go to, beyond what we know as home
We’re all tryin’, the best that we can, to keep our bitter hearts warm
Things deep inside us, they cripple and crowd us, forever
It happens that sometimes things just go up in flames

We all have moments of walking away from a time when we needed to stay
We’re all thinking the best one’s the next one and soon it will all be ok
But there’s such a thing as love that’s been lost, forever
It happens that one day, things are never the same,

They all keep saying its crime to be throwing good love at the things we can’t change
The poor will be with us, and evil among us that just how things are arranged
But there’s beauty inside us, it’s been there inside us forever
The point of it all is to help love grow while we’re here

We all have pictures of the places that love goes when it leaves us to wander alone
Smiles all around you, images blind you, looking to find you, eager to find you
There’s beauty inside us, it’s been there inside us forever X 4
There’s beauty inside us, been there inside us ….. Forever
