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.

Touring through the years. 2007 - present. Some of my most precious memories have been the time I’ve spent traveling. I was always fortunate enough to appreciate not only the wonderful show experiences, but also all the things before and after as well. Getting to spend time with my amazing fans and friends. Countless hours in the van. Backstage naps and that first coffee during soundcheck. #whenyouwereyoung #nostalgia
A little bit of “From The Water” off of my album Gold In The Shadow #acoustic #nostalgia #songwriter
2008. On tour opening for Brooke Fraser. I had been a big fan of Brooke’s for a few years and it was a great joy to open for her and share a stage for a couple songs. We ended up recording a James Taylor cover together the following year. That’s us in the studio together in the second picture. Wonderful memories. #nostalgia #whenyouwereyoung
