Samuel Golden puts poetry into his music

Poet-turned-artiste Samuel Golden recently released a new song, Countdown to Our Time, as he makes an aggressive move to convert his poetry into musical compositions.

"My romantic poetry drove me in this direction to turn loving words into romantic music. I received both fan and industry excitement about the sound of my music and the soft message of love," he said. The single, which is now available on all major platforms, is the first release of an EP titled Footsteps: Love and Sweetness.

Golden has developed a radical philosophy dubbed a "lake of love", a vision of art as contribution rather than commodity.

"I believe there is still sweetness in the world. I would like to think my poetic music adds to the lake of love," he said. Golden's journey isn't just about making music --it's about transforming words meant for the page into songs that live and breathe. He has written love poems for years, a ritual which evolved into two published poetry books, and now, a debut album that carries the same name as his second collection.
