Pre-order the album now or choose your music platform for “Morning” here. With the pre-order, you get this track immediately; the album will be released on May 5.
“Morning” (around 7am) is about the feeling of waking up, getting a shower, eating a little and getting the day going. Though there was no place to go, it still felt great to be alive another day.
DAY is a collection of compositions inspired by what became a daily pattern of emotions during the quarantine of 2020. The recording is an illustration of the typical ups and downs, joys and sadness, gratitude and dreads a typical day would bring, ultimately culminating in a celebration of life and healing.
