Out now is “Trust Me.” This song was inspired after seeing the movie, Marriage Story, in November 2019. It was a matinee at The Vista theater in Loz Feliz. Seems like such an ancient memory now, since I haven’t been to a theater in about 6 months. But they showed the movie in 35mm, and there’s a spiritual feel that I tend to get from projected light shining through film. I like to think our brains are more active when watching a movie on film, because it’s constantly having to fill in the gaps between the pictures to create the continuous motion. I like to think that anyhow. But I had that calm, contemplative feeling I so often get after attending the theater on a solo trip. What I took from it was how love still remains even after it’s gone.

“Trust me, despite the things I never came through on.” Real love is truly unconditional. Can we prepare ourselves to love unconditionally? Or does it just happen naturally? Like all things, I believe it’s a little of both.
