Those of you who know me or follow me on any social media are probably very aware that I’m a huge fan of Sleeping At Last.  Their lyrics are poetry and I consider their music as some of the finest art I’ve ever experienced!

Well, there’s a lyric from the SAL tune “Emphasis” that struck me:

“But the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard is that I don’t have to have the answers; just a little light to call my own.  Though it pales in comparison to the overarching shadows, a speck of light can reignite the sun and swallow darkness whole.”

Whoa.  So as a tribute to Ryan O’Neal and Sleeping At Last, I decided to try and musically describe what a speck of light igniting the sun may sound like.  Hence, my song “A Tiny Speck of Light“.  It begins very peaceful and serene.  The acoustic guitar strumming and the electric guitar melody is meant to represent the speck of light.  It makes it’s entrance, and finally (at 2:06)…we have ignition!

So that’s the inspiration behind that song.  If you’re interested in the rest of the tunes on my Look At All The Colors album, you can stream them here, or purchase them here.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Until next time!
