City of Legends

I have a half dozen tracks I am working on right now for my CD TRUTH, and think, maybe, I have stumbled and fallen into sunshine in my search for the showstopper number.

It is the recitation and musical adaptation of the poem "faith healer", which you can read over at the Amomancer blog by clocking on the title.

The poem has a complex history and weaves romanticism, eroticism and mysticism into a single piece, predicating the notion that intimacy can be a powerful healing force (which explains why I am, over the last few years, slowly falling apart. Ha!). It takes elements of my life and experience stretching back decades, and even contemporary (my history with women who are survivors of abuse plays into my sense of affection as an healing agent).

But, in any case, we shall see if it finishes as well as it seems to be. I need to do some added voice on it and my throat is still putting up a fight.
