ONCE (From The Album DANCING ALONE)

This song is from an album I made a called DANCING ALONE, which consists of 14 songs inspired by the works of 12th and 13th century Persian Sufi poets. I never released the album until now because I didn’t think anybody would be interested in it. I made a few copies as gifts for friends, and then stuck it on a shelf where it has been sleeping for the last few years.

It is now available for download from all the major digital outlets (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.)

The songs are based on works by four ancient poets: Rumi, Attar, Hafiz and Iraqi. These writers described the ecstasy of their spiritual experience using the metaphor of the lover and the beloved, which are universal images that we all understand.

Rumi wrote: “I used to be shy, but you made me sing.”
