Description
Over the past few months, I’ve had a chance to reflect and work on some new music. In the process Jamie Robinson and I wrote a timely new song called When The World Stops Ending. We wrote the song over Zoom, recorded our parts in isolation and Josh Parlee edited the video from London. No one was ever in the same room together for this project.
At a time when people have been reviewing their priorities, renewing family relationships and seeing themselves in the faces of both loved ones and strangers, the purpose of this song is to encourage listeners to remember that everyone in the world has more in common with each other than they do not. I believe that hope, resilience and compassion are choices we continue to have at our disposal.
Thank you for continuing to support my habit of trying to improve the world with my music. I hope this song encourages and inspires you.

Lyrics
When the world stops ending
And we catch our breath
Will we know ourselves better at all
What will life look like,
What will be left
Will we have the same problems to solve
When the world stops ending
And we’re back on our feet
What will we do with our Time
Will we place our importance
on the bitter or sweet
And leave what is best left behind
Chorus:
From here to Manhattan
I hope that it happens
We love so much better than ever before
and find buried treasure
in moments we measure
And help one another without keeping score
When the world stops ending once more
When the world stops ending
And we hit restart
What will be first on our list
Will we fill every hour from daylight to dark
To make up for all that we missed
will a new light erase
will our fear be replaced
when the world stops ending
CHORUS x 2
