Gavin DeGraw's new album, 'Face The River' is an incredibly powerful meditation on life and death, inspired by the loss of both his parents. In this deeply moving interview he celebrates them both.
Baltin: I talk with artists all the time about how environment affects writing, but I don't hear a single trace of Vegas in this record.
Baltin: You say you are in your mid-40s and you don't want to be one of the oldest men in your family, but I never felt like I had to grow up until dealing with my parents illness. I don't want to get too personal, but taking this into the music, you can feel the heaviness in places. So having to grow up and deal with all this stuff, do you feel it in the record?
Baltin: I know what it's like when everything comes at once, so I want to be sensitive in how we discuss. But I'm curious from a music standpoint, was there one moment early on or one song early on in the writing where you really heard your mom's presence? Baltin: These are your parents and you have put in every detail of your parents, but at the same time, for the song to work, it has to be something that resonates with everyone who sees their parents in it or their life story in it. Was there a moment where you realized that it's something that people in Turkey, Japan, California or New York has seen their parents do.
