HELP US RAISE $ FOR DAMAGED STUDIO

All proceeds from the sale of this song go to benefit the Pigeon Club recording studio in Hoboken, NJ. The studio was flooded and damaged by the freak hurricane that tore up the East Coast earlier this fall.

I'm not exaggerating when I say, without the Pigeon Club, I wouldn't have a solo career. Check it out: most of my records would never have been made. The "15 Minute" EP and "Slow Down Kid" were recorded there and transformed me from a green wanker to a semi-respectable musician. My albums "Sunlight," "Woodstock' and "Little Daggers" were all mixed there. The songs "E.S.T." and "Resume" from "Looking" were recorded there. That's basically every album I have. And beyond all that, I still rehearse at the studio. It's my little creative bunker down the street from my house.

Then there's the song itself. After outlawing the use of all keyboards on our recent album "Aide Memoire," I found myself sitting at a piano one night last fall and the instrument felt new again and this song just poured out effortlessly. It was written for someone very close to me, someone who recently found himself/herself in a situation where there was no way around hurting someone he/she really cared about. I felt extreme empathy for both parties, but since so often all the attention goes to the victim, I found myself more taken with the hurter. It's just one of those sad facts of life--if you open yourself up to love, it can and will inevitably hurt you.

We recorded this song at the Pigeon Club and are now offering it to you at a price of just 49 cents, though we hope some of you will be willing/able to offer a little more.
