“The lyric for “Release” was written in memory of my father-in-law, Robert F. Rasmussen, by his granddaughter Abby Martin, on the occasion of his passing. Abby sent them in a text message to my wife Patty. When she showed me the text, I knew immediately that it was a song lyric. The music almost wrote itself. I just put the antennas up and took dictation from the cosmos. Thanks, Daddio. I know you had a hand in this one.
By the way, most of what sounds like a synth keyboard on this track is actually guitars run thru layers of reverb. The swells in the chorus were created with an E-Bow, a hand-held magnetic device that vibrates guitar strings as a violin bow would. Scott really outdid himself on this song.”
lyrics
This grief is like water, recycling through
Let it rain down, and then renew
Release... Float on
Sweet Freedom, belongs to you
It comes in waves, different versions of you
Rolling in, and back out, they flow thru me too
Release... Float on
Sweet Freedom, belongs to you, belongs to you
Sail on now, be on your way
Those you love are waiting, can't you hear them say
Release... Float on
Sweet Freedom, belongs to you
Release... Float on
Sweet Freedom, belongs to you, it belongs to you

Brad breaks new ground as a songwriter on his new album, Living On A Sliver. Evolving is the mark of an artist. Brad's move from Nebraska to California is reflected in these songs. Bill Sammon
There is such texture and depth to these recordings - deceptively simple arrangements, delicious layering of instruments, and emotion-rich performances of the vocalists and players. lissybee2
