about
With a gentle Tom Waits vibe in the electric guitar coupled with an unusual melody, Purely Who You Are sprang from an evening with my young daughter that began with her giving me ballet lessons then devolved into a crazy dance party. That night, I dreamed the melody, and it captures her beautifully: playful, smart, complicated, unusual, and open. Featuring insanely tight harmonies and an intriguing counterpoint between the guitar and the vocals, this track has everything I love: a substantive subject, unusual percussion, distinctive sounds (spot the music box), and a bit of moxie.
lyrics
A calm, tiny blessing from you sweet hand
Fingers unfurled, tiny pink fan
You are so purely who you are
Peace like a brilliant evening star
A fire burning brightly bringing light to the dark
Your warm embrace, so full of grace
Unknowing healer, centered in truth
Chasing your passion, nature of youth
You are so purely who you are
Peace like a brilliant evening star
A fire burning brightly bringing light to the dark
Your warm embrace, so full of grace
Thoroughly you, joy through and through
Beautiful clown, spin me around
Teach me to dance, I’ll take the chance
And spend my night like you
If you need an ear, ask me for mine
I will be here, wide open line
You are so purely who you are
Peace like a brilliant evening star
A fire burning brightly bringing light to the dark
Your warm embrace, so full of grace
So full of grace

In addition to songwriting, lead vocals, and writing the harmony vocals, I performed backing vocals on this song. Kenny Schick, my producer, also sang backing vocals and played or programmed all of the instruments. Kenny recorded his parts at Basement3Productions in Nashville, Tennessee, and I recorded my parts in May 2022 with Steven Glaze at ToneFreq Studio in San Jose, California.
