Playing with Words

About the Book

Playing with Words is a double-concept album with four sides of an interrelated theme. The acoustic side explores the ways words add layers to our experiences. The electric side reveals the tensions between words and their meanings, especially when the words strike out on their own and the connection between the writer and the word breaks down. In the third side, the writer disappears. The fourth side is a return to the cosmos through myth, history, mystery, and spirit. Sometimes it might seem audacious, but it’s mostly just playing with words.
