For February I'm selecting a song written in the grip of winter, February 1999. Professionally, I was in limbo; I'd left off the band circuit the year before, somewhat burnt out from a steady 10 years on stage and in studio. I was working at my alma mater, but hadn't yet made the leap into full audio immersion that would come the next year with the creation of a home studio. Natural Light was one of the first songs produced in the flurry of creativity that followed in 2000. For me, the song evokes late February, the listlessness of the dark months and desperate hope for spring, taking whatever sunlight I could straight on the chin in hopes that the literal light would drive away the figurative darkness, of winter, of limbo, of life. Special thanks go to Chuck Alkazian of Pearl Sound Studios who played drums on and mixed the song.

Thanks, Ted! I always appreciate your music- you know I was a die hard Purple Fly fan! I still listen to those recordings. Would love to hear you live one day.
Yes! Thanks for the great tune to beat back the winter blues .... the song made me feel happy! Glad to see you sharing your music Ted, keep it coming!
Outstanding song. Easy to imagine a radio hit. In the meantime, one of my favorite downloads. Natural Light has the best ingredients - Groove, lyrics, harmonies, drums and guitar solo. A great song to be stuck in your head. We want more!
