Jake Walden ... "The Storm" live at The Mystic Theater

The most authentic releationships seem to be the ones that remain indefinable; the ones that take us by surprise. There are moments of heightened dark or light that can instantly push us off the line of convention and twist us onto a new plane, a new version of ourselves, a new version of how we see the world that we can never go back from. And life, life is beautiful and dark all at once. The storms we encounter are experienced only through perception....a gift, or a burden. And such is love, the pursuit of understanding, the pursuit of being understood. This song began as a discovered philosophy, a heightened reaction to a week where i took my sister to the Grand Canyon after her heart was torn and crushed so hard and deep that it was all she could do but to just melt down into the ground and die. The song found a melody and lyrics recently as an ode to my friend Jacky. Jacky calls me her "dark light"....and I like that. She has saved my life and dreams many times and continues to be the my partner in discovery and reflection. The greatest gift in life is said to be love, but for me, I believe the greatest gift in life is hope. For love is a given, but hope is so easily swept away by the storms of our lives.
