Brighter than the Sun - Introduction

I just finished writing a song called "Brighter than the Sun".  I wrote it as a letter...to someone that used to call me his best friend & brother...a letter that someone has encouraged me to write for almost two years, now.  I also wrote this letter to the entire world.  There's so much needless hurt and anger...so much unkindness...so much time wasted hanging onto bitterness and rage rather than working through our differences together. Although I rarely share songs before I record them in the studio, my wife, Nicole, encouraged me to share this one with all of you.  But before I do that, there's a lot I want to say about what inspired this song.  There's a lot of backstory and I'm going to ask you to be patient with me as I invite you on an inside glimpse of a very personal journey that I've been through, overcoming the darkness of being bullied.  My hope is that for anyone who is in conflict...whether on your street...within your family...between the boundaries of countries and cultures...that you will be inspired to find a way out of fear and hate and to fall in love with the human race, again.  I'll post my thoughts from time-to-time here on my website.  When I do that, you'll be the first to know.  All I ask is the favor that you share my posts with all of the people that you care about in your world, too.  I'm looking forward to all of us inspiring each other.  Til next time, live magnificently and love each other well!
