A Theory of Everything, a song

About a year ago today, inspiration struck and I started a new songwriting project. A handful of songs grew into an album's worth, and then a double album's worth. After almost 9 months in the studio now, I'm happy to report that my latest musical outing is in the mastering stage and almost ready to head out into the world. It's an album in 2 volumes, an eclectic mix of folk, pop, hard rock, prog-rock, blues, jazz and more, a labor of love that I affectionately call "A Theory of Everything."

The whole album will be released this November, but if you're interested in a taste, here's the title track:

Enjoy!

A Theory of Everything



I never knew that gravity could make you feel so light
I never knew that light could press you down with such a weight
I always thought each action had its equal opposite
I always thought each heartbeat was without its duplicate

When space and time collapse
And reference points collide
And everything is relative to you
When all my reason’s gone
And logic’s crucified
I find the source of everything that’s true

I always thought that two lines parallel can’t intersect
And rainbows shine only when there’s white light to reflect
And I was taught that equal poles would always push apart
And every circle brought you in the end back to the start

When space and time collapse
And reference points collide
And everything is relative to you
When all my reason’s gone
And logic’s crucified
I find the source of everything that’s true

Before we met I never knew
What my whole world was orbiting
Or anything could be so constant
As the speed of light (before we met)
I never guessed
The universe might be unravelling
But now we have and now I find
I’m having to rewrite my theory of everything

Before we met I never knew
What my whole world was orbiting
Or anything could be so constant
As the speed of light (before we met)
I never guessed
The universe might be unravelling
But now we have and now I find
I’m having to rewrite my theory of everything
