    Remembering Tom
    Break it up

    On Saturday at 2:39 in the morning we lost Tom Verlaine. Words cannot
    express my sorrow for the loss nor the joy for having known him. All who
    loved his music may wish to play his records. I am offering Break it Up.
    It’s the song that Tom and I composed for Horses in 1975. The lyrics
    reflect a dream I had of the death and imagined resurrection of Jim
    Morrison. Tom’s uniquely beautiful and expressive guitar work can be heard throughout.

    Today on my Instagram I wrote that grieving is not an affliction but a privilege. And so I believe. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday perhaps
    filled with music.
