This was the first song with words I wrote, in an effort to express a lot of things that had been on my mind for some time but had lain unexplored. I deliberately left myself nowhere to hide, and for that reason I didn&#8217;t expect to record it, or release it, until I started performing it live in the middle of long improvised piano sets, where it seemed to make sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Listen to \u2018Oath\u2019 below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2867347263\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=1909072548\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomrogerson.bandcamp.com\/album\/retreat-to-bliss\">Retreat to Bliss by Tom Rogerson<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Retreat to Bliss<\/em> is out on March 25th through <a href=\"https:\/\/westernvinyl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Vinyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Rogerson&#8216;s much anticipated solo album, Retreat to Bliss, will see the light of day in just over a month.
