Goodbye Polar Bear- is the new single from this eagerly awaited new album – Way Out West- which was recorded and produced by acclaimed producer Bill Shanley and this second single is due for release February 2nd on Cauldron Records.
Goodbye Polar Bear is in essence a song about learning to block out the negative thoughts in your own head, the constant niggle, the voice in your ear that tells you should be doing better or you be could doing more, while you actually feel like you’re going in reverse with no semblance of control over the direction or path ahead.
I wrote it in the depths of winter on a cold morning in January after a heavy snowfall and the deep white blanket of snow outside my window mirrored the heavy weather within and inspired the title.
Most days the easiest way for me to clear my mind is to write down my thoughts on the page and not to lean too heavily on past exploits.
“It’s not a given that it will be a constant but it is for me living in the moment through the power of song. That’s what I have known and that’s who I am.” – Stephen Gormley (singer/songwriter of Moon Looks On)
