“Where it’s Warm” Available for Download/Stream

Today is the release of the second song from THE CROOKED EAST’S EP, “Where it’s Warm” (the EP and song are both called “Where it’s Warm”).
This song is a conversation between an older man and a younger man just before the younger man begins a journey in search of a “warm” utopia where everyone is happy.
The older man had taken this same trip when he was younger and now knows that this “warm place” is by the fire where he’s sitting–but he also knows that this younger friend needs to take his own journey in order to find his own “warm place.”

They’ll be releasing one song from the EP each month ending in May.
