Here’s the second track that I’m considering for inclusion on the new album (click here to check out the first). This one’s called Chasing the Dragon, and as you might’ve guessed, it’s more of a somber song.
This one was inspired by someone I know well, but I’m going to keep the origins mysterious for now. Check it out…
What do you think? Drop any comments into the box below. I’d love to hear whatever you have to say, and it could make the difference as to whether the track makes the album. Let’s hear it!

Chasing the Dragon should definitely be included on the next Radio Nowhere release because of its “cleanliness”. The straightforward piano and melodic vocals will be a nice interlude, sandwiched in between a bunch of crunchy rock and roll. – Dirty Dan the Sewer Man
Hey, good to hear from you, DD! Yeah, this tune is definitely more in the “catch your breath” mode. I’m looking forward to really honing this one, but hanging on to the basic feel.
i like the simplicity and dynamism of the voice + piano, but in my head instead of the drone-y strings instrumental, am a cello or fiddle line, something a bit more complicated and picking up the melody, perhaps also tucked in here and there between V and chorus
Interesting – there have been a few people who’ve heard strings of some kind in this one. I’ll have to explore that….Thanks!
Enjoyed cant wait for the final product
Cool – thanks, Todd!
Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you for the link!
No prob, Chris – stay tuned for more…
Well written, really. Maybe you can call a girl with a violin for a solo to make it more varied and fresher?
Thanks, Andrey. Seems like there’s a consensus building for some kind of string solo…
I’d like to hear a nice guitar solo, but I feel that this is a noteworthy cut, and would definitely include it on your album.
I’m nearly always up for a good guitar solo. Think I’ll see if I can shoehorn one in here. Thanks!

Can’t dance to it, but liked it anyway. The choruses were quite melodic with plenty of depth in the vocals. Agree with others that a string solo would go nicely over the chords in the break. Dirty Dan the Sewer Man
Thanks, DD!
Okay, Michael, now THIS song I LOVE!!!!! I LOVE the meshing of your voice with the piano and quite frankly, I like your singing better with the piano than the guitar. There is more of a distinction between your voice and the sound of the piano. With the guitar, your voice kind of fades into the sound of it and doesn’t stand out as much as it does with the piano. Just my opinon…but I LOVE the song and your singing! Aunt Linda
Hey, thanks Aunt Linda! I think I know what you mean about the piano, and there are a few more piano songs coming, so stay tuned…
Boom. Dig this new tune! You know I’m a sucker for the keys. And dragons.
Thanks, hombre. I agree, can never have too much dragons.
