When I began composing \u201cSage,\u201d I played an excerpt for a close friend and fellow composer, Adam, who was instantly drawn to the song. He added captivating lyrics and a wonderfully catchy melody line. With my music alongside his lyrics and melody, I believed the song could\u00a0 be commercially successful. Unfortunately, he became ill, and his\u00a0 health rapidly declined. Years later, I resumed work on \u201cSage,\u201d\u00a0 revising it several times and ultimately including guitar parts he no doubt would have liked. Eventually, \u201cSage\u201d made it to where it is now, and it\u2019s dedicated to Adam\u2019s memory.
\nAt the end of the song, the lead guitar deliberately\u00a0 fades before the listener expects it to. This symbolically\u00a0 and affectionately connects to Adam\u2014a guitarist\u00a0 whose life faded too soon. It\u2019s an emotional and\u00a0 musically enthralling piece that still pulls on my\u00a0 heart and makes me long to work with him again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
