about

I decided to change creative direction on this single, and to embody the character of Rick Blaine from one of my favorite all time movies Casablanca. I was looking for some kind of heroic love to embrace, and in that journey, I got to work with an amazing team of people. On Casablanca Love, my pal and previous Black Jackal collaborator Dan Konopka (OK Go) plays drums, mixes and co-produces,
joined by Sean Hurley on bass, Rob Manzoli (Right Said Fred) on guitar, and harmonies by stunning female vocalist Brittney Bouchard.

lyrics

I know how
I must sound
Like a man
Who keeps trying to convince himself

Last night
We said
A great many things that we would regret

This is the beginning of our Casablanca Love
For eternity they'll be watching us
Forever saving the world
In Casablanca Love

Remember where
You've got that gun pointed to my heart
My least vulnerable spot

A long time
In the making
Of a new life
I find myself
I must admit
In predicament

In a paradox
As I exist
All my memories
In my sentiments
If I play them again and I play them again
They must come true

This is the beginning of our Casablanca Love
For eternity they'll be watching us
Forever saving the world
This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
Play it again and again until it comes
Til it comes true
Oh what a view

(Casablanca Love Casablanca Love)

This is the beginning of our Casablanca Love
Our Casablanca Love
This is the beginning of our Casablanca Love
Our Casablanca Love
This is the beginning of our Casablanca Love
Our Casablanca Love
It's just beginning

Paul Jacks Anchorage, Alaska

The city of Anchorage is located at the terminus of the Cook Inlet in the south-central portion of Alaska. With its long, brutal winters and close proximity to active volcanos, the city is as beautiful as it dangerous. Here is where we find the iconoclastic indie-pop auteur Paul Jacks. ... more
