Nothing Matters but the Joy (abridged)

Story Behind The Song

Few experiences in life are purely happy or purely sad. Most are a complex mixture of the two. I wrote this song as a meditation on the process of letting go of the painful parts of a memory so that you can carry the joyful parts with you forever.

Song Description

This version of this song features an introductory bass solo, the melody played on guitar, with a piano solo and a long, peaceful outro featuring the piano and bass.
