Those who know me, especially my work in music and art know that Patti Smith has been a major influence and inspiration. Sometimes that influence has been quite obvious, fans of my band Neo Pseudo used to refer to this song simply as “Patti”.
Lately the song Peaceable Kingdom has been my mantra and meditation. She speaks of the song on this Substack post.
I find it so hard to be a witness to the pain and suffering in the world today and yet I believe we must look closely to see and feel as much as we can.
And we can’t let that pain and suffering lead us to despair and inaction, we need strength, we need to continue.
For me, music is a source of beauty and strength. For me, music is the pathway forward.
