Hello Concert Monkey,
​
I would love for you to listen to my new song, "In Paris," available now on streaming services.

I've had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in Paris; I love its ambiance, texture and great energy. As a teenager, I studied French in this fabulous city, and would return to Paris many times. In particular, a trip with my daughter just before her wedding to search for her wedding dress. I was extremely moved and grateful that 16-year-old me who had fallen in love with these Parisienne streets, had the good fortune to be there in Paris with her.

And so, as we had done on our visits before, we headed up to Montmartre for dinner, deciding to have an artist in the square capture her on paper. In that moment of watching her getting her drawing done, it dawned on me that this time, this trip was the closing of a chapter and the beginning of another for us. I realized that life is forever in motion and that it's important to savour the journey. I remember thinking, just take this in, because it all goes by so fast. Don't pine for the past when you're undoubtedly standing at the edge of the future. "In Paris" is truly the narrative of experiencing the past, the present and the future all in one moment.

Close your eyes and let the music ruminate in your heart.
