Paul Rosevear performs his latest songs in this episode as we discuss his life as a musician. His latest EP, "Halls of Time Volume 1" is a collection whose lyrics consider the importance and torch passing of his personal family life integrated with musical melodies and instrumentation that remind of classic singalong songs of the past. His songs remind us how the tunes we love are a part of who we are and our own histories. They became the minerals in the soil that helped grow our personal family trees with the music our parents or grandparents put on the record player as we played with toys on the carpet. They became what we sang around the campfire with our friends to make bonds for life. In this episode, Paul offers us the gift of his songs and even performs a piece of the original iteration of the song "Don't Look Back." He discusses how his music has evolved over time, but also how it his integrated so much into who he is and how he makes a living -creating songs for licensing, teaching songwriting to others, and creating original music for his fans for the past two decades. Paul's musician life has been prolific as he has made celebrated music in the bands Readymade Breakup, The Blakes, and The Vice Rags. This EP may just be his most intimate self portrait as he reflects on his life; yes- as one who writes and loves songs, but also his life as a son, and now a father.
