“Good Sun” is the final single from Eddie Chacon’s new album Lay Low. On his third solo album and second for Stones Throw, he delves into the grief that attended the loss of his mother, Patricia. The album was recorded over two years in Nick Hakim’s Brooklyn studio, with Hakim helping build an intuitive framework for Chacon’s songs of love and letting go.
“Good Sun” was directly inspired by Chacon’s last memory of his mother, who died from Alzheimer’s: “It’s so tremendously sad but she was lying in bed, very much at the end of her life,” he says. “The doctor had said that she’s not really there any longer. But the last time I saw her alive, I was standing at the foot of the bed, and she opened up her sparkly eyes, and she waved at me.” “Her default setting was optimism; she was always looking for the good spot of sun. If the sun was over there, we all went over there,” he says. “The song is about the sadness of losing her but the hope that she finds the good sun.”
Lay Low is out this Friday (31st January). Eddie Chacon will celebrate Lay Low’s release with shows at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles on 1st February, and at Public Records in Brooklyn on 21st February, with a tour of Europe in March.
