Cry Myself to Sleep
I wrote this song shortly after watching the film, Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts. At the same time, I was seeing a woman in a relationship that I knew damn well would never work out. She was living with a different guy and I knew that she would never leave him. Then I watched Notting Hill. That’s the message behind this song. You want so much your life to be like the movies, but it never is.
Musically speaking, it is one of my more mature songs. The chord progression is unique, and not a knock off from a popular strong. Plus the words still hit home today. Then my friend, Tom Garber, put together the score in a very pleasant way.
