From My Living Room Series: Even So

Happy Friday Before the Holidays Anomalies!

Here's a song called Even So and an intro about how I wrote the music. I've performed this song quite a bit and it's written for my father. Sadly, my family lost my uncle last weekend so in a way, this song is dedicated to him too and all of the father figures that come into our lives.

I don't often expound on this because for some reason it makes me feel like I'm betraying him in some way but my dad chose me. He was the most difficult, stubborn, unyielding man I ever encountered in my life. Yet, underneath his stern countenance, excessive lecturing and the driest humor known to man, his heart held a special spot for a one year old baby with a scrunched-up face and when she grew up he told her she would be his daughter until the day he died.

I believe that in life, choices make all the difference. It isn't just who we are, it's who we chose to be and evolve into. My dad could have chosen to just be a man in my life but he chose to be my father and that made all the difference.

With love, The Anomaly.
