b'He remembers finding someone\\u2019s copy of Bob Dylan\\u2019s Highway 61 Revisited. In a few days, he memorized the lyrics to "Desolation Row." It was the moment when he realized songs aren\\u2019t just tunes with words: they\\u2019re worlds to be inhabited fully, filled with strange characters, unexpected emotions, and lessons to be learned.\\n\\nThree decades and several hundred songs later, Paul Weinfield is still at work. The trajectory of his musical career has hardly been linear. A two-time survivor of cancer, he\\u2019s faced a lot of setbacks, which inform the themes of his music. Weinfield\\u2019s first albums (2005-2013) were released under the pseudonym \\u201cTam Lin,\\u201d a nod to his love of folklore and magic. He then collaborated with singer-songwriter Danny Musengo in Fairytales For the Fatherless (2014-2018). The two joined David Block (The Human Experience) in founding Gone Gone Beyond, a \\u201cfuture-folk\\u201d project combining electronic and folk sounds.\\n\\nSince 2018, Weinfield has been releasing music under his own name: Music Is People (2019), Things I Should Have Told Myself Long Ago (2020), and miscellaneous singles. His latest album, Love Songs From the Tree of Life, is due out later in 2022. In addition to being a musician, Weinfield is a meditation teacher and spiritual author, and Buddhism informs a lot of his songwriting. He likes to say that music and meditation are really just one thing: listening to the voices in his head and learning to find a place for them in this world.'
