Seven songs in… lots going on. Took a week off and traveled Japan. Wanted to get really quiet so I could hear what my head was saying. Two words of advice: travel alone. Music via an 8am jetlag pop-awake and Native Instruments Acoustik Piano. I took a break from still photography and used a Panasonic HVX200 HD camera. I stayed still, let life move in front of me. Man, am I deep!

have to agree w/ ” threestar & electric skillet ” words can’t describe this John. I hope u put whatever this is on the record, just the way it is. And I totally agree w/ ” quiet ” being the only way to ” really hear whats going on “. There’s a country song that says ” you say it best, when you say nothing at all ” Silence is golden! Looking forward to the new music, take care of yourself, and God Bless!!

So excited for Battle Studies!

Quite the cinematographer Johnny.

The music alone is inspiring and moving, adding beautiful imagery infinitely increases that feeling. Nicely done.

I am so blown away by this video. It makes me feel something different than…gosh I don’t even know. It just…brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps.
