Love songs: sweet, emotional, raw, energetic, adoring, fiery. From melodic and lyrical, laid-back acoustic piano to orchestrated to rhythmically primitive indie rock. Each intended as an aesthetic celebration of love, its different phases, from yearning to fulfillment. My instrumental music is an expression of my love of beauty. It is intended to fill the listener with a sense of appreciation for what is beautiful to awaken in the listener a greater awareness of the beauty in themselves, and in others, as well as the beauty in the natural, the spiritual, and the Divine. Some to make you feel, some to make you move. My history: Two years of classical piano lessons between ages seven and nine from an old man who lovingly called me Professor. Years of listening to my mother playing jazzy tunes and my father playing everything from Chopin to a beautiful song he wrote, “A storm is a wild thing.” Started writing instrumental songs at age fourteen, playing the same songs over and over again, for hours and hours, then days and weeks, driving my parents completely mad. Started writing lyrics at seventeen songs of love, songs of loss and of longing, lots of others, too. Graduated from Brandeis in ’84 with Honors in Creative Writing. Spent a number of years developing a relationship with pianos, learning how they feel, how they respond to me, to my fingers, what happens to the piano and to me when these two notes are played and held, or these two, or how about these three. Spent some time in Reggae and African music bands in Philadelphia. Formed a band and wrote in , 4/4, 5/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 10/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8. Fell deeply in love five years ago, just broke up.... have 90 more love songs to record.... Decided to share my music with the world. Here’s my music, and a part of me.

Story behind the song
This song was originally written for the piano. A later version, to be posted here, has a full arrangement which I like a lot. But this is the original. In this version, I like the juxtaposition of the concept of thunder, with its sudden, explosive beauty, and the angelic sweetness of the woman I adore. This song also contains within it at least six themes from the first album, From Always To Forever, all wrapped together in one song, in a kind of secret love-language.
Lyrics
You're the thunder across my sky You're the universe and I am high Beautiful butterfly in flight You are everything.... Listen now to the song I sing I will bring you everything I feel Let me make my love real to you 'Cause all our dreams I promise will come true You're the half of my one true soul And when you laugh you make me whole All I wanted the world to be You have given me Listen now to the song I sing I will bring you everything I feel Let me make my love real to you 'Cause all our dreams I promise will come true Ha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la You're the thunder across my sky You're the universe and I am high You're an angel of love and light My girl behind the window late at night Listen now to the song I sing I will bring you everything I feel Let me make my love real to you 'Cause all our dreams I promise will come true You're the thunder across my sky The only one I want until I die If I lived for a thousand years I would want you here Listen now to the song I sing I will bring you everything I feel Let me make my love real to you 'Cause all our dreams I promise will come true
