about

There are not enough words for love in the English language. This overworked four-letter word has to represent romantic love, familial love, friend love, spiritual love...

...and then there is the love generated by creative collaboration. Whether you are in a team of 2 or 20. Whether you are collaborating on art, music, or technical innovation. That shared creative spark and meeting of the minds, however temporary, is a kind of love, and there's no other word for it.

Imaginary World is about that kind of love and fittingly it is co-written with one of my oldest music friends, Scott Sacks. Scott has great ear for hooks and melody and this is one of our favorite collaborations.

This song is for you and your imaginary worlds. I hope you hear it as a celebration of the love in your life that "fills the spaces in between."

lyrics

Everybody says you live inside your head
Seems no matter where you're supposed to be
You're somewhere else instead
Maybe you and I are just the same
Things get bad but we don't complain
We just turn in and tune out

Is your imaginary world like mine?
Are there apples on your apple tree?
Is it sunny all the time?
Or do you look out on stormy seas
Brood on all the possibilities
Sailing from fear into doubt?
Sailing from fear into doubt

Together we'll paint the perfect scene
You bring the blue, I'll bring the green
The colors are strong, the lines are clean
And love fills the spaces in between

If we don't like the story, we can change it
If we don't like the picture, we can re-arrange it

Together we'll paint the perfect scene
You bring the blue, I'll bring the green
The colors are strong, the lines are clean
And love fills the spaces in between
In between
In between
