about

I've been wanting to share this with you for a long time.

It took 9 years to finish this recording.

I struggled with it.

As history unfolded before our eyes it became clearer.

So I kept going, saved my money to hire my friends, a virtuoso dream team of outstanding people, and we finished it.

And now I want to give it to you.

History feels like it’s dragging us along helplessly, but don’t succumb to helplessness.

Don't be scared.

Don't lose hope.

Write history, be history, change history.

It’s yours.

Don’t bite your tongue.

Find your voice, and free it.

Happy 2020 to everybody!

lyrics

History

Winter coming,
Autumn turns into ice.

History frozen,
Too late to try and change sides.

Broke down this morning,
Looking for what I can't find,

Nevermind.

Wondering what I would write.

History never spares,
Doesn't have time for that.
Understands and doesn't care.
Read all of the books you've read.

Wealthy how the story goes.
Conclude the interview.
The ending I thought I chose,
Already picked out by you.

(instrumental)

What would you write?
What you did write.

What would you write?
What you did write.

What would I write?
What I did write.

Write. Write. Write. Write.
