Each week I will feature one song and accompanying painting from my project, Peace or Drama, A Journey Through Music And Art.
In the spotlight this week is Peace or Drama, the title song from my album.
This month has been full of drama – a fabulous show in NC which included a marriage proposal during my concert (more on that later); a small house renovation which has left things in disarray for far too long now; a brief stint as a cat smuggler in two hotels to escape toxic floor fumes (shhh, don’t tell).
I am ready for things to slow down a bit. I crave a clearing in the rubble where I might do some yoga and take a deep breath or two. This song is about finding some refuge from the super-charged ego, at least for a little while. Hey, let’s find some peace! Who’s with me?
“Gimme a chance, a chance to sort through the day
I can’t stand, I can’t stand to feel this way
Gimme a chance, a chance to sort through the day
I can’t stand, I can’t stand to feel this way ohh
Won’t you go away”
(chorus from Peace or Drama)
