Today’s song is “World In My Hand,” originally recorded in January of 2003 for Trio Season 3, #7.
When I wrote it in 1998, “World In My Hand” was my first “hit,” in a manner of speaking.
At the time I had only been writing songs for a few months, and only playing for about a year, but when I wrote the lyrics out on the first page of my new poetry notebook I knew I had tapped into something both more personal and more universal than anything I had previously written.
As my songwriting has become more and more refined my older songs have a tendency to drop off of my setlists – especially songs I wrote before college. Yet, no matter how much my songs evolve, this one will always be a favorite.
