In slightly over 42 minutes, Dan takes us on a fast-paced journey through struggles and triumphs, self-destruction and personal forgiveness, with a healthy dose of empathy and comfort thrown in for good measure. As the listener, you feel like you are pulled along for this introspective look at a troubled soul, aching to learn from the past so as not to be doomed to repeat it. Track 4, “Living in Circles” is a perfect showcase for Dan’s view on the concept of Eternal Recurrence. “All we Are” and “Rise Above” each have a glimmer of hope that we can overcome our own darkness and emerge as a better person for having only temporarily lost our way.
Persona Non Grata is Latin for “person not appreciated”. This album is more than just that. It’s about the journey from being Persona Non Grata to Persona Grata. This album is good, solid, purposeful music. You feel better for having experienced it.
