{"product_id":"with-love-sadness","title":"WITH LOVE \u0026 SADNESS","description":"My previous recording, Sanctuary, is a musical reflection on places and characters in my personal life that have provided a sense of creative refuge and a feeling of home. With Love and Sadness takes a more expansive view, examining my seemingly delusional aspiration that we can somehow evolve toward a more compassionate and inclusive society. This is balanced musically against the darkness of an ongoing realization that systemic racism in America is still so much more pervasive than I had imagined. The structure of the piece emerged as I was reflecting on the depths of this national crisis during a trip to the Maine wilderness last August. As a result of pandemic-related closures, it was the first time my wife and I had traveled in many months. It felt like a new perspective, at least early in the journey. The shape of this composition outlines the evolution of my reflections throughout the course of that trip.","brand":"SUNNYSIDE","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52035982065944,"sku":"016728164825","price":16.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4049451-2789627.jpg?v=1778149742","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/with-love-sadness","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
