Ok, the main points…

About a month ago, I released a single called “Hiraeth,” featuring my wonderful friend Megan Slankard on lead vocals. It’s my most-streamed solo release ever and I’m very proud of it. Here’s the Spotify link, or click here to listen on your platform of choice.
I also made a fun little video for the tune, which you can watch here.
The MoaT used to be a daily newsletter, but it’s now more of a “hey I’m doing a thing” Bat-Signal. You’ll be hearing from me once a month or so.

Now, the slightly more expanded version…

“Hiraeth” is a Welsh word that was introduced to me early during lockdown. It means to mourn the loss of a home to which you know you can never return.

Over the song’s four-ish minutes, about a minute of which is saxophone solo, I indulge lonely what-ifs, cautiously celebrate the potential of the unknown and, I suppose, give myself permission to let some stuff go. Thankfully, I’ve been able to process a whole lot during this surreal time, healing my little Trevor heart, grieving and accepting and moving on.

Last year stunk, this year will likely stink, but I’m still standing, still here, committed as I’ve ever been to sharing art and proffering both middle fingers and ass cheeks to the sham of a god who green-lit this unpardonable nonsense.

As I march towards middle age still of little to no practical use to society, I’m confident that the world has enough accountants, that someone has to write the songs, and dagnabbit why can’t that someone be me?

Hang in there, friends.
