"Music is at its best when an artist can contemplate deep ideas and turn them into simple and profound lyrics then pair them with gentle flowing music with hooks and harmonies that encourage you to want to enter the songs. Dan Strauss does that as well or better than anyone I know. His melodies will endear themselves to your core and his words will push your mind to work a little harder. What could be better than that?"
