Constant Motion, the CD's title, is taken from a phrase in "Counting on You." In a world that is in constant motion, that is always changing, we need something, someone that we can count on. "Ah love, let us be true /To one another," says a poet from an earlier day, for the world has "neither joy, nor love, nor light,/Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain." This was Matthew Arnold way back in the 19th century, and it is a message Wax has resurrected for the 21st. "You and I, we will make it through" is Wax's version of Arnold, and in one way or another it is the plaint of each of the eleven songs on the CD. Don't get me wrong, these are not art songs. Most of these are the kind of pop tunes which will be playing on your local radio station any day now.
See for yourself. Check out the singer's website: he's offering his fans a couple of free downloads.
