how the light gets in
Kristian Anderson was a good friend of ours, a hard worker who always had time to help us out in one way or another. over the last ten years we have schemed about how to get Andy and I down to Australia where Kris could shoot a live acoustic performance for a DVD package.
this September, sick with cancer but still relentlessly cheerful and positive, Kris made the trip to LA with his new red epic camera to shoot us in the studio working on the new album. it was the realization of a longstanding goal for both of us — to meet each other face to face and to get some wicked footage.
before he passed at the beginning of this year, Kris managed to do a rough cut of some footage for one of the songs. I’m not sure what will happen to the rest of the stuff he shot, but I wanted to make this available as a tribute to Kris, his gifts, his passion for music and video, and his example to all of us to get off our asses and go for it, all the way to the end.
I’m also making the audio for this track the Free Mp3 of the Month, since I kind of like it better than the album take from Unplugged. just click above to get it. you can check out Kris’ blog here and his posthumous book right here.
thanks, Kris. we owe you one.

Simply amazing. Excellent video and editing for a brilliant song.
Hauntingly beautiful version…the somber story accompanying this video just layers the emotion. Appropriate and provoking title.

Thank you, Paul, and I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. This is beautiful, and I always love to watch you work. Your voice touches me like no other.
Some people leave the world we live in and the world is a little bit place because their light went to another place. Thank you for sharing small windows of your life, Paul Durham, both that cause pain and joy.
