about

"Mount Everest" is the first single from ROW, the new concept album inspired by Tori Murden McClure's journey to become the 1st woman and 1st American to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. For the past seven years I've been working on a musical called ROW with book-writer Danny Goldstein based on McClure's memoir "A Pearl in the Storm." ROW was scheduled to premiere summer 2020 at Williamstown Theater Festival but was postponed due to the pandemic.

lyrics

Why would you climb Mount Everest
Why would you row the sea
Why would I climb Mount Everest
‘Cause it’s in front of me

Ask me oh ask me, Dear Inquisitor
What is it you don’t see
Why would I climb Mount Everest
Because it’s there for me

Ask me oh ask me, Dear Inquisitor
Why put myself through all the pain
My answer, my answer oh, inquisitor
Will always be the same

It’s not about going from Point A to Point B
Through solitude and all the uncertainty
I’ll confront my demons before they get to me

Why would a caterpillar lock itself in a cocoon
Just so it can fly free
I’ll slip into my row boat now, and soon
See what becomes of me

I watch the seagulls and terns all head back to the coast
The one who’s flying the highest can see the most
I wanna know what he knows

It’s not about going from Point A to Point B
Through solitude and all the uncertainty
I’ll confront my dreams and come out clean
