A few weeks ago I had the chance to debut a couple of new songs at “Winter Tales,” an Orange County Library event organized by James Maxey. I previously posted the video of the second song, “Tauntauns to Glory,” and here’s the video of the first — and much more serious — song, “Winter Simplifies the World.”
The clip includes James introducing me and a little about the inspiration for the song: my year at Thule Air Base in Greenland. After I sing the song, I lament the fact that it turned out to be pretty emotionally heavy, and that becomes my way of introducing the much lighter, Star Wars-inspired “Tauntauns to Glory”.
Finally, here are links to videos of the other “Winter Tales” presented that night —
- James Maxey’s “A Winter Dismemberment” — plus his “Winter Sonnet”
- Mur Lafferty’s “Zuzu’s Bell”
- Rebecca Gomez Farrell’s “Treasures in Cardboard Boxes”
- Alex Granados’s “Death by Big Screen TV”
It was a lot of fun, and I’m very glad James let me be a part of it!
