The Favor

The Favor

Written in late 2018, this track marked a turn in many ways for Dean. A long, psychedelic poem-song, "The Favor" captured a sense of gratitude for existence that Dean hadn't felt since childhood. It also helped signal the change to an older, folkier, vintage-styled approach that would characterize his writing output for the next long while.

I was playing drums for a friend's project on a one-off show in Vegas back before Covid. After the set, a tall guy came up and said he liked my playing.
We stood outside for a while, chatting about life and music and he gave me the Cliff's Notes of his very wild life's story. Short version, he was a survivor of a suicide attempt by firearm and was partially paralyzed.

I asked if I could write a song about him, and he said yes.
This is the song that came out.

Written between the winter of 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio and the fall of 2018 in Daytona Beach, Florida, this album draws on themes of suicidal ideation, insecurity, depression, depersonalization and hitting bottom while also attempting to describe some of the ways to escape these traps.
