About James Filkins

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting on my grandfather's shoulders at a Monkees concert! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crosby, Stills & Nash Jackson Browne, Late For the Sky Jesse Colin Young, Light Shine Crosby, Stills & Nash's debut opened the door to musical integrity on a whole new level, Late for the Sky was a gut-wrenching, emotional tour de force musically and lyrically, and JC Young's Lightshine was a genuine breath of fresh air and optimism. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Tears for a Princess” “Tears for a Princess” has the melody, story, and sonic texture that I am always striving to achieve in my compositions. It is about death, loss, and love, and every time I play it or hear it I am moved emotionally.
