Songs I\u2019ve always loved, it seems even before I\u2019d heard them. The first one, and the source of the title is You Belong to Me by Jo Stafford. Colonial overtones unmissable to our modern ears aside, It\u2019s also a beautiful mid century romance-and an ode to the threat of a shrinking world. The song represents the loneliness and the mystery of being alone and left behind. The singer is not asking their loved one to shut down horizons, merely reminding them to return when the traveling is done. To set aside The Silver Plane of transition, change and the in in-between for the intimacy of solid earth.<\/p>\n The second song is Promised Land by Chuck Berry. Also about a journey and another one that moves easily between allegory and narrative. The singer is on the move across segregated America trying to get to the promised land of California. The song is both a tall tale that evokes Mark Twain, and an American epic that can keep good company with Herman Melville. When the hero finally makes it to California, his first instinct is to call home and reassure the Old World that he\u2019s safely arrived in the new one.<\/p>\n The songs on Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane were recorded at home over the last couple years. I played electric guitar, rubber bridge acoustic guitar, Ableton Live and an Electron Digitone synth. My friend Mallory Linnehan aka Chelsea Bridge contributed beautiful violin and vocals to a couple of the songs. We recorded those performances on a summer afternoon in Chicago at the Not Not space with the windows open.<\/p>\n The cover is a photo of my mom-one I never saw when she was alive. With the headscarf and that excited, nervous expression, she looks about to embark on a journey. Ready, finally, to cross the tarmac and board the Silver Plane.<\/p>\n Wishing safe travels to all.

The music on this record is a reflection of journeys and travel. The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and Its impressions, rituals, superstitions-the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and wonder.<\/p>\n
