Recorded to 16/48kHz Sony TCD-8 DAT mastered as 16/44.1 (CD) and then encoded for MQA. This is a CD quality track that has been improved by MQA encoding, removing the pre-echos (time smearing) the ear is sensitive to and present in most CD quality recordings.
Recorded by the water in Hawaii on the Big Island.

Morning comes before the sun, I hear that song, I better help myself. I better help myself. Reflections smile behind the miles, I hear that song, I better help myself. I better help myself.
Lord you know it comes and goes, I feel that song, I better help myself. I better help myself. Ain’t no one knows the lonely lows. When you hear that song you better help yourself. You better help yourself. Help yourself. You better help yourself.
Lord you know it comes and goes, when I feel that song, I better help myself. I better help myself. Ain’t no one shows the lonely lows. When you hear that song you better help yourself.
Help yourself.
Help yourself.

"I don't know how you did it, cause technically its not possible, but it sounds higher res than a CD - it's awesome quality music too." - Fiona Joy, Blue Coast SACD/DSD recording artist, Grammy Winner
Here's what CP said:
"David, I have been listening to your music for well over 20 years. The honesty of your lyrics has always connected with me… from Light As A Rail to Help Yourself (#10). Even now when I listen to Silver Pen I think “those are my words, not yours” Good job Dave. The new website rocks too!"
Charming German indie pop with the keen melodic sensibilities and melancholic undercurrent of some of the style's best practitioners. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2021
