Paste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.
Jon ForemanI think that weโre a culture that runs away from death, for good reason. Nobody really wants to think about the fact that weโre going to be lifeless food for worms in a coffin someday. But at the same time, I feel like knowing that youโre going to die can be an incredibly rewarding, powerful knowledge. It inspires us to live in ways that we wouldnโt if we were ignorant. I feel like that has inspired me to care about every breath. For me itโs not a morbid curiosity, itโs just wanting to make sure that every moment I have here on the Earth while I am breathing is accounted for.

Jon ForemanGreed, envy, sloth, pride and gluttony: these are not vices anymore. No, these are marketing tools. Lust is our way of life. Envy is just a nudge towards another sale. Even in our relationships we consume each other, each of us looking for what we can get out of the other. Our appetites are often satisfied at the expense of those around us. In a dog-eat-dog world we lose part of our humanity.
