Crown (Featured Track) 3:37
There are a lot of princesses in this world who wear a heavy crown.

Skeleton Man 2:51
I have always been a big fan of the old Steppenwolf song,” The Pusher.” Says a lot of hard truth. So does” Skeleton Man.”

Cold, Cold Rain 4:19(Featured Track)
One of my personal favorites-right at the top of the list. Intricate guitar tune about loss and intensity and survival.

Circus 3:55
“I’m afraid I will always be the clown.”

Hole In My Heart (Featured Track) 2:59
A dynamic tune with layers of story and instruments.

Shadow On The Sun 4:05 (Title Track)
The last total eclipse was powerful. Very powerful. My wife, Debbie, took these photos. The pictures of the ground, when the leaf shadows turned into crescents, were amazing. You can see it as the main picture for this song.

Maybe Tonight 3:52
Life in the moment. Maybe tonight.
