MUSIC FOR DECEMBER 2022
‘BLUE SHADOWS’
With musical Christmas froth coming at us from all directions, Song of the Month! takes five minutes to look, instead, at a melancholy side of the holidays.
We understand that loss is integral to life, and so peace must just be made with that fact, art made from it, character built, etc. We grow up hearing this, and maybe even had to come to grips with it early on.
In whatever form it takes, the departure of a loved one hurts in many ways — the unanswered “Why?” can be the worst — and that’s the topic of “Blue Shadows,” written in 2022 and recorded in November.
