Happiness lies at the other end of the corridor. You can walk there from here: just avoid the prying gaze of the pictures on the wall…

Sending love out to the peaceful people in Chicago

When I was possessed by evil spirits as a younger man I would become catatonic or smash my things up; nowadays I can just go on social media. Two and half hours till showtime, I am simmering down with some magnesium. Should be ok, apologies in advance for any bumpszz…

I dreamed I was on a plane being flown by a blind pilot. Then I never woke up.

There are two major design flaws in our species: the worst people achieve the most power and humans tend to be pack animals. Nothing an empathy pill wouldn’t cure. 😄

From deep in the pandemic era, here's "The Shuffle Man" featuring the fab Brendan Benson: 

From the not-too-distant-archive:  Here are some thoughts I had on the writing of "Kingdom of Love": 

One of the many sad fruits of aging (count ‘em 🤣) is the slow yet sudden realization that not just your tastes or your reference points are out of date: your very attitude is obsolete, and belongs in a museum, or, failing that, a podcast…

From way back in the early 1990s, here's "So You Think You're In Love"... 

My song “Beautiful Ruins” has been out for just over a week. It’s a love song to a home that no longer exists, except in memory. 🐦‍⬛ You can stream it here: linktr.ee/emmaswiftsings

From the not-too-distant-archive: Here are some thoughts I had on my song "Heaven" while I was re-recording it in Los Angeles back in April.
