This music was inspired by things, people, events and emotions. In our often hectic, stressful lives, it is east to take the simple pleasures in life and those we love for granted. One busy day, I reluctantly rushed to the beach to pick up our son and his friends from surfing. As I waited impatiently, to my surprise, I witnessed one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen! The fiery colors of the sky were reflecting on the water and as the radiant beams fell onto the horizon, I realized how often we forget to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life, like a beautiful sunset. We must remind ourselves to open our eyes to the beauty and joy that surrounds us, sometimes clouded by our stressful lives. I wrote a song to try to capture that "Treasured Moment", the beauty of that sunset, and the "Promise" that I made, "A Sunset's Promise". Take time to stop and smell the roses, do not take the simple things in life for granted, "Pura Vida"!
