about

This track is the one non-original composition on the album. When I heard this track in the game "Sayonara Wild Hearts," I knew immediately I had to arrange it.

You could certainly argue that "A Place I Don't Know" represents my journey into fatherhood, but I choose to instead interpret it as my unexpected journey navigating the thorny legal issues involved with licensing a cover song from a composer and copyright holder located in Malmö, Sweden. What an adventure THAT has turned out to be!

lyrics

What's the word, does that thing have a name?
When familiar surroundings just don't look the same?
Do you think that it's strange?
In small way, I suppose.
I'm just longing for a place I don't know.
I was used to my safety and peace.
I mistook all this tedium with being at ease.
But then you came around,
Said it's time to let go.
And you took me to a place I don't know.
Come on, take me to a place... I don't know.
