Thank you for taking the time to read about this album that I am very proud of. I was fortunate to work with a great Producer named Adam Marsland. Together, we have not only forged a great collection of songs and performances by top notch musicians in Los Angeles, but have provided you with an incredibly rich, clear, and rich production as well. These 11 songs represent a myriad of moods, feelings, and emotions that i have experienced in my life. I am humbly confident that you will be moved and taken on a journey to the various recesses of your mind. I have enjoyed Indie radio success (Baby's Lullaby hit #1) and have had my songs played from Los Angeles to Saipan. I have been voted all-time #1 Blues Male Vocalist and Top 10 overall vocalist on Garageband. 'No Pain' was voted one of the top songs in Blues/Rock as well. There is something here for everyone. Whether you're looking for a dreamy song to help you escape from everyday life and reunite you with a long, lost love (Hideaway); or a song to uplift your spirits and make you feel like you're unstoppable like the Lakers (On Top of the World); if you are a Superhero taking on all the World's dangers, yet you still need someone to care for you and love you (Even Heroes); maybe you have a loved one or loved ones that you care for more than life itself (Baby's Lullaby and Butterfly); and if you want a song that will inspire you to go out and make the most of your time here on this planet while making this World a better and more harmonious place (Dreamers). Thank you for taking the time in reading this and embarking on this journey with me. Take care and be well. Peace. Adam Exler )
