Love Songs?

"Garden of Love"
new album this February 2023

It's February and I think I will put out an album.

    I intend to publish "Garden of Love" at the end of this next week, just in time for Valentine's Day. (wah, wah, wah).  Yes it is a collection of "love songs" but not really the romantic kind and definitely not all the feel good kind.  Love, in my experience, to my understanding, doesn't always feel good, and love stories don't all have happy endings, or endings at all, some can go on and on, unhappily.

    Not all love stories are romantic.  There's familial love, amie (the love of or for a friend), and love of life.  I'd say that most of my songs are about love of life, but on this album there are some of all kinds.

    Some of these songs have been kicking around for five years or so.  I have been intending to put out this collection for years.  Thinking about this being Valentines day season I thought it a good excuse to commit and get 'ere done.

    The album will have nine songs on it, about a half hours worth of music.   As is the way of the 'Boat Shop', the focus will be on the songs, lo fi, intimate.

    I have two more album projects that are yet to get organized and published and I hope that finally getting this one out will inspire me to finish up and release these others.

Peace
