MISS YOU

My brother Gregory called me in 2023 and said he had found a box in his garage that looked like it contained music tapes. I asked him to send it to me in London.

I opened it and inside were old tapes with songs that I had written around 1993-1995, when I was around 25 years old. At that time, I was signed to a record label and with the advance, I had recorded demos with great musicians in LA and took them to the band, but they did not like them. Shortly afterwards the band broke up and my career took another direction. I must have put the unfinished tapes in a box – a bagel toaster box no less – and when I left LA in 2001, it ended up in the rafters of my brother’s garage.

Back in London, I scrounged old software and hardware from eBay and rebuilt a system that could restore the sessions. As I retrieved each song, it was like being transported back through time, listening to myself singing 30 years ago, standing in my studio today. It was a powerful moment, especially because the songs were great, a treasure-trove from the past that I absolutely had to bring back to life.

Those songs are the album The Box.
