As Though You Never Left At All

Awoke one morning and felt a warm, empty place next to me where my wife slept. (She had gone for coffee.) Her half-finished New York Times crossword puzzle was on her pillow, and our Cavalier King Charles puppy Ginger was still half-asleep snoring in the hallway, unperturbed by the clatter of New York City coming to life in the morning. Started thinking how it would feel if my lifetime partner really had moved on, leaving me alone, why she might have left me, and how that lonely day and many future days might have unfolded. Captured it all that same day in a song. Brought the lyric for the verses to my co-writer and mentor Billy Seidman, who contributed a chorus and a bridge. Almost immediately saw the opportunity for a version in French, and started the translation, working with Denis Thuillier, my co-lyricist. One of the quickest turnarounds from inspiration to finished demo in my repertoire.
