Gaskill Goes Deep!

Tags:

Brian Gaskill grabbed our attention playing emotional characters like GUIDING LIGHT’s Dylan, AS THE WORLD TURNS’ BJ, and THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Ozzy. Since then, he’s been pouring his own emotions into a considerable body of poetry, which he’s been recording to share with the world. “When I compiled this new group of poems together, I found that they were much more cohesive and thematic than what was on my last album ( Make It Real),” he says. “With this new one, every single piece really did become — either on purpose or inadvertently — a reflection of the title, _ Giving Up Time Travel For The Rain_.”

In the just-released collection of spoken word recordings, Gaskill shares his thoughts on the everyman quest for personal peace and life acceptance. “It’s about living in the moment and not focusing on that pain in the past or your expectations of the future,” the poet offers. “It’s about just being present — even if it’s raining — because as we all know, the rain cleanses things and helps them grow.”

The artist has also been sharing his insightful thoughts and moving poems about this topic and more via a blog, http://givinguptimetravel.blogspot.com. “There’s this 31-day journey that I started in conjunction with this album coming out,” he explains. “It’s about working to find something new each day that brings me closer to a place of believing — in the magical, fairytale sense — in life’s possibilities.”
