A lifetime in the making, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Dan Schaeferâs Where the Days are Golden touches the spirit and mind with fourteen walls-down vignettes of longing, loss and uplifting redemption. The new record showcases an artist at his creative and philosophical peak, fearlessly taking on a myriad of personal and societal issues and framing them in infinitely satisfying musical environments.

âThereâs a Placeâ is a modern-day take on West Side Story, set in the American South. âReunion of Soulsâ imagines an afterlife gathering with dearly-departed friends and family. âSunset Glowâ chronicles the pure joy felt during a perfect, beautiful moment and the desire to carry that feeling forward. âLife on Earthâ is a message to a friend adapting to the emptiness that accompanies a great loss. âRed Spray Paintâ is a first-hand account of high school bullying and its lasting effects. âHow it Fliesâ is a collection of parables advising the listener to maintain a grip on all that is truly precious. âJerry Falwellâs Judgment Dayâ wonders aloud what the famed evangelist might have learned the day he met his maker.

If 2010âs acclaimed Wild Ideas was a catchy collection of commercial hits-in-waiting, 2011âs follow-up provides a dramatic juxtaposition as it goes deeper, straight to the heart of the human condition. The new record catches the ear upon first listen, but the real reward is the thought this collection provokes in the mind of each listener as time passes. A dive into Where the Days are Golden leads to a thoughtful, peaceful, introspective place far beneath the surface, and itâs a trip well worth taking.
