Bio:
Neal Morse (born August 2, 1960) is an American singer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and progressive rock composer based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1995, he formed the progressive rock band Spock's Beard with his brother Alan and released an album which was moderately successful. In 1999, he joined former Dream Theater co-founder Mike Portnoy, Flower Kings' Roine Stolt and Marillion's Pete Trewavas to form the supergroup Transatlantic.[1] In 2003, he released a solo album Testimony. In 2004, Morse wrote and recorded a new concept album featuring Portnoy and Randy George. In early 2007, Morse released a Christian progressive rock album based on the life of the Protestant Reformer Martin Luther, entitled Sola Scriptura. In September 2012, he released a solo studio album, Momentum, as well as Flying Colors with the newly formed band.
Album:
"I didn't get into music because I wanted to be a big success. I originally went after music because I simply loved it. There wasn't anything else for me. Nothing moved me like music did and my hope had always been to move people as I had been moved", says Neal Morse. Truer words never spoken by Morse, who will prove his own personal theory right with his latest solo album, "Life & Times".Widely regarded as one of the world's leading progressive rock musicians, there is now no doubt that Neal Morse is a 'big success', but his desire to move people through his music burns brighter than ever. Now in his mid-fifties and his children grown up, there is a sense on "Life & Times" that Morse is looking around and taking stock."I've come through a lot of difficult times and I'm in a fairly content place now", he says, "and you can feel that on some of the songs". Much of this acoustic-orientated, singer/songwriter album was written while he was travelling around the world on "The Road Called Home" tour in 2017, with some of the songs being inspired by the places he visited, while others are from spending time with his family. For example, "Manchester By The Sea" is a musical portrait of that notorious rarity, a sunny day in Manchester, England, when Morse was sitting in a coffee shop watching the world go by. "Selfie in The Square" captures what he saw walking around Luxembourg City, hearing the cathedral bells and children playing, but realizing what a difference it makes to share these experiences. "Luxembourg was really nice, but I knew that if my wife was there, it would feel like a holiday, so I wrote a song about it to send to her", he explains.Some of these slice-of-life portraits also resonate with other people's heartaches, such as "JoAnna", which focuses on Morse's son dealing with the loss of a relationship and - most poignantly - "He Died At Home", about a mother's grief over the loss of her soldier son. As Morse says: "I had been praying for a roommate of a friend of mine, who was a troubled ex-military guy. The day we were playing in Paris, I woke up to a text saying that sadly he had died. As I began formulating ideas for a song about him, I remembered that many years ago, I had been at a meeting at a military base in Tennessee. They asked us to pray for their men because almost every week they were going to the funeral of those who had died at home."The power of the song that Morse eventually crafted has moved people in ways that he could never have imagined: "Because of the idea for the song, I was researching soldier suicides online and found an article about a young soldier named William Busbee. He came back from Afghanistan in 2012 and then committed suicide. The video director contacted Libby Busbee, his mother, who listened to the song and was so moved that she is contributing photos of William to put in a video we'll be sharing very soon." The song also had quite an impact when it was premiered at Morsefest 2017, where it was very much the talk of the festival.Born in 1960 to a musical Californian family, Morse played in many bands during his youth. He learned and mastered several instruments along the way. In 1995, he wrote and recorded "The Light" with his new band, Spock's Beard. It was an album grounded strongly in the then-unfashionable progressive rock genre. The album and title song became modern prog classics and began to bring Morse and the band global recognition. In 2000, he also joined forces with Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion) and Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) to form Transatlantic, a prog supergroup that went on to win the PROG Magazine Award for "Album of the Year".Neal Morse's solo work has focused almost entirely on music with a strong message of redemption, beginning with 2003's "Testimony" - a two-disc musical account of his spiritual journey - and most recently with The Neal Morse Band's Prog Magazine Award nominee, "The Similitude Of A Dream", based on John Bunyan's classic allegory,The Pilgrim's Progress.
