    Story Behind the Song
    "ASLEEP"

    Just before nine o'clock on the morning of September 11, 2001, I sat on the deck at the back of our house having coffee and
    conversation with my four-year old daughter Ava. Ava had just said, "We live in a beautiful world, don't we, dad?", when my wife Martha opened the door to the deck and said, "Adrian, I hate to disturb you but we're under a terrorist attack"!

    By the end of the day, Martha and I had spent watching the disaster unfold and we knew Ava's "beautiful world" had changed forever.

    As a recording artist and neophyte painter, my small offer of remembrance comes in the form of a this new song free for anyone to download and a recent painting I've done, both titled ASLEEP.

    The lyric is a haiku poem:

    One day you wake up
    but you didn't even know
    you were asleep.

    Recorded at StudioBelew by Ken Latchney
    Violin: Peter Hyrka
    Cello: Gary Tussing
    Thermin: Erick Cole
    Drums, Bass, Keyboard, Guitar and Vocals: Adrian

    Lyrics
    One day you wake up
    but you didn't even know
    you were asleep.
