    Swing Your Lanterns is the backdrop; the sociopolitical stage on which these story-songs are set. The title song tells you to “swing your lanterns low” until you realize “which way to go”. Meaning, where do you stand during troubled times and will you remain vigilant.

    As in any pivotal moment in history, the underlying human condition is always present. The aspirations, loves, losses and observations course on as the ‘backdrop’ looms large.

    These are the types of stories in this record. ‘I am Not a Drone (alone)’ was partially inspired by a scene in the film ‘Rollerball’ where elitist investors shoot flare guns at trees for sport. This word-imagery was combined with the view from my rooftop of a mens homeless shelter in the dead heat of summer.
