Everything A Thousand Million Times

The title song from my first solo record is a lullaby of sorts. “Everything A Thousand Million Times” is a phrase that encapsulates all the things my daughter and I say to each other before bedtime. “I love you”, “I’ll miss you”, “Sweet dreams”… eventually turned into “Everything A Thousand Million Times”. Often times the phrase would naturally turn into a melody. A melody that kept resonating inside of me. I imagine the phrase we would say over and over again, “Everything a thousand million times, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU”. The last statement of the phrase leads us into a peaceful dream state. The video is simply some footage I took camping one weekend.

Joel Shotwell (woodwinds and bass guitar)

Jeff Paul (Fender Rhodes)
