From Trevor Hall’s 2009 self-titled album. A beautiful song about the shared love of the Devine no matter what your personal spiritual beliefs may be. There’s a version of this song on the album that features a collaboration with Matisyahu that is definitely worth checking out.

Perfect World (Indigo Girls cover)

Our super-talented friend Lisa Stovall joins us on this tune from Atlanta, GA’s The Indigo Girls. I think Amy Ray and Emily Saliers might be two of the most thoughtful and insightful writers of our time, and they are wonderful musicians as well. Perfect World from their 2004 album All That We Let In.

Believer (Imagine Dragons cover)

From the Las Vegas hitmakers’ 2017 album Evolve. I always admired this song and thought it was a great tune. I shot all my footage at half speed and then sped it up to “normal speed” so I looked even more pissed.

Clocks by Coldplay from their 2002 Grammy Award winning album, A Rush Of Blood To The Head. It’s always been a favorite of mine! I also love the Rhythms Del Mundo (Salsa Version).

Harmony Hall (Vampire weekend cover)

Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend from their 2019 album, Father Of The Bride. I always thought they were a fascinating band and this song is especially great. We had some help from the amazing Clay Willis on guitar, guest vocalists Alaina Gunter and Christa Russell and special guest cameos from my friends Charles Gaby and Katsuk. Special thanks to Greg Luce for helping me shoot this video!

Fearless (Pink Floyd cover)

A deep cut from Pink Floyd’s 1971 album Meddle. I shot all my footage at 2X speed then slowed it back down to give the effect of slo-mo while still singing and playing in time – what a cool trick! I also tuned my guitars to an open G chord. Apparently that’s what Roger Waters did after Syd Barrett showed him. Sounds pretty good!

Big thanks to C Todd Kirk for recommending this song to us!
