🐾 33° — THE TEN WITNESSES
How the Animals Tell the Story of My 33rd Album
My 33rd studio album, 33°, isn’t just a collection of songs — it’s a symbolic journey told through ten animals. Each one represents a stage of awareness, resistance, wisdom, identity, and spiritual victory.
Together, they form what I call “The Ten Witnesses.”
🔟 THE ANIMALS & THEIR MEANING

🦊 THE FOX
Song: Crazy As a Fox
Represents: Strategy, intelligence, adaptability, and outthinking stronger forces.

🐑 THE BLACK SHEEP

🐐 THE GOAT

🧭 THE JOURNEY THEY FORM
The animals tell a complete spiritual progression:
Awareness → Resistance → Identity → Wisdom → Victory
From learning not to engage danger…
To seeing clearly…
To outthinking the system…
To standing apart…
To finally standing in peace.
🏔️ WHY “33°”?
The album was written in the Rocky Mountains, where perspective changes.
The higher you go, the more you can see — and the less noise can reach you.
