about

The power of a smile is a mysterious force—hard to define yet universal. People talk about how “a perfect smile” got them through a job interview or defrosted an argument or led to a dream date. King Solomon wrote, ““A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.” + “A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.” Ultimately a smile is a light that comes from the heart—a constant work in progress. I wrote this song about the wonders of a smile.

This could be a commercial for the dental industry, but the title was really inspired by SMILE-era Beach Boys. I wrote it on a Saturday night after a stressful, painful week. I’d just finishing opening for a punk band at a theatre in California. I was upstairs in contemplation, eyes closed, my mind playing back smiling faces of people who’d encouraged me over the years, and I quickly wrote this song (despite the din downstairs). On a cosmic jukebox it would play between Leo Kottke, Sting, and Dennis Wilson.
