John Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls is probably one of the more underrated pure songwriters of the last several decades. He is a hitmaker in the purest sense, but his writing never compromises catchiness over sincerity. His progressions are never terribly complicated and his melodies stay with you for years. “Iris” is about the desire to find a true partner and be fully known. The older I get the more I recognize this as perhaps the greatest kind of love. My version of “Iris” is a whispered take on this now classic. Soft nylon string guitars and barely breathed harmonies invite the listener to explore their own desires to be fully understood and seen. Listen to my version of the song at the link in bio.

Thinking back over the last many years, one of the greatest joys of my career has been getting to collaborate, tour, record, and be friends with @abbygundersen To those who don’t know, Abby was a huge part of my band for many years and she is on more of my songs than I can count. Her voice, violin and piano playing have been an anchor to some of my favorite songs. She is a brilliant artist and human being and I will always be so grateful to get to create with her.

The Killers have made a career out of massive rock hits, but have always found a way to explore vulnerable themes in a way that captures you before you even know what the song is about. I’ve always been mildly obsessed with the contrast between young innocence and mature resignation. That awful point we all must go through when magic yields to mortgages. We often still look for saviors to fix us and bring back those original feelings of warmth and safety. For my version of “When You Were Young” I wanted to remove the grandiose anger and focus instead on the painful nostalgia. But the masterful instrumental melody remains firm. Listen to it at the link in bio.
