Available today- link in bio 🤘 A note from Jon about 'Breakers in the Dark'  This song was originally written by the ocean while my wife and I were on a mini-vacation last summer. Late one night while sitting on the front porch of our rented cottage, I found myself sitting alone listening to the waves crash on the shore somewhere out in the inky darkness, and thoroughly appreciating a special moment of gratitude and vague reflection. Of course, it wasn’t long before the nucleus of “Breakers in the Dark” manifested itself with a few gentle strums and a few mumbled words. At that point, the song had a more literal bent to it and in retrospect, was somewhat lazily indicative of the amazing time we were having over the course of those two precious days. However, as I tend to do with songs, I stepped away from it for a while to let it marinade. When I sat back down with it a few months later, I was well-embedded back in the “real world” and all the stresses that come with trying to be a functioning adult - the original take on the song’s meaning felt years behind. Instead, I was drawn to an allegory that to me illustrated a far different experience - being adrift on the ocean, feeling alone and in the dark. Trying not to be swept away by raging breakers and otherwise unyielding forces constantly trying to overcome you - be it depression, drug abuse, poor physical health or your own life expectations. Breakers in the Dark isn’t specifically about anyone in particular but is an amalgam of my various struggles, and those of the important people in my life - struggles which sadly are not unique in the hyper-connected yet disturbingly isolated world we continue to make for ourselves. My great hope is that the listener will come away with a feeling of solidarity - knowing they are not alone, and at the time they need it most.
