This is a song about being patient and having hope that darkness can turn to light.

It began back in 2019 with Will's guitar idea, and my simple lyric "Darkness is Falling....I'm waiting for the light to come."

We remembered the idea in the Fall of 2023 with all the darkness going on in the world, and I wrote and recorded some extra lyrics in October of 2023.

The song remained dormant until the Spring of 2024 when I was finally able to think of the right saxophone to put into the song. We tweaked the lyrics, recorded the saxophone and Will just re-mixed this song in June of 2024. Will is a master at mixing sound, and this is the finished product.

This song isn't long to listen to. But the creation of the song and the video took years, and so we sincerely appreciate you listening.

My last video about "Bad Therapy" was crap. It was a tired and emotional reaction to Abigail Shrier's book, and I'm not proud of it.
This video is much better. Yes, it's longer. But it is for therapists, ethics and law, and also for people who have been through therapy and or who want therapy. Watch or listen if you want here. In the meantime, take care.
