New solo piano song single from Jim

Many of you know that I'm also a solo piano recording artist.  I've just released a new solo piano song single called, "Carry Me Past Dark."

The story behind "Carry Me Past Dark:"

With a nod to the movie soundtrack from "True Grit," I wanted to pay homage to the old 1800's hymn, "Leaning On the Everlasting Arms." Slightly changing the hymn's simple theme, I then wove in fresh complimentary elements to give it a new immediacy. This brand-new version called, "Carry Me Past Dark," keeps the almost understated feel, reflecting its true frontier simplicity.

Very nice re-imagining of this song. I like the quietness of it, or as you say, the "understated feel". Beautiful and relaxing to listen to.

Hi Michelle, Thank you for the kind words about "Carry Me Past Dark." In some ways, re-imagining a very traditional, well-known standard is harder than the original pieces I write because you have to maintain the balance of familiarity with the need to create something fresh. Thanks for your words.
