Meaning:
Present Moment is a song I wrote about living in the digital age. It's a meditation on grounding ourselves back into the immediate reality that is around and among us.
Lyrics:
Split seconds
Grab my attention
Firetrucks and sirens leave my mind and soul divided
Forgot to mention
This constant tension
All of our desires leave our brains all re-wired
We're scared of being bored
So we stare a little more
When we gonna open
The present moment
Lost inside this web
It’s time to come out of it
Don't be so phobic
Of the present moment
Living life pretend
And the scariest part is
We don't even know it
There's no wait, now
Still feel late, somehow
A whole generation barely face to face and
We're pixelated
Fragmentations
Waitin’ on someone to save us
We're scared of being bored
So we stare a little more
When we gonna open
The present moment
Lost inside this web
It’s time to come out of it
Don't be so phobic
Of the present moment
Living life pretend
And the scariest part is
We don't even know it
I still can't decide
Is this still real life?
When we gonna open
The present moment
Lost inside this web
It’s time to come out of it
Don't be so phobic
Of the present moment
Living life pretend
When we gonna open
The present moment
Lost inside this web
It’s time to come out of it
Don't be so phobic
Of the present moment
Living life pretend
And the scariest part is
We don't even know it
Meaning:
Thread The Needle is a song I wrote about those who have had to be very strong their whole life. It's a reminder that just because someone appears to be very strong does not mean that it's easy. Even the strong ones have to grapple with doubt. However, the chorus brings it together that we can "thread the needle" and make things happen if we can keep our center and work together with one another in harmony.
Lyrics:
People telling you that you're so strong
Always be the one moving along
But they don’t see what’s really going on
Don’t always seem so possible
Center center center center
Breathe deep, keep peace
Center center center center
We can do this if we go together
We could thread the needle
With a steady hand
Make it to the sequel
Give yourself a chance
There’s a flow to this dance
There’s plenty of worry to go around
Like there’s always something else to be found
But Rome wasn’t built in a day
Who said we need to build it anyway
Center center center center
Breathe deep, keep peace
Center center center center
We can do this if we go together
We could thread the needle
With a steady hand
Make it to the sequel
Give yourself a chance
There’s a flow to this dance
We could thread the needle
With a steady hand
Believe that we can
Make it to the sequel
Give yourself a chance
There’s a flow to this dance
Meaning:
Just Move is a song I wrote about empowering yourself as you walk into a new stage of life.
Lyrics:
I've been in circular motion
Afraid of the ocean
The things I can't see
I can't make a decision
Without algorithms
Influencing me
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
I've been trying to find it
Happy to enlightened
What should I do
I can't be all that they wanted
Life has just started
And I'll see it through
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
Meaning:
Purpose is a song I wrote about how we all need to feel a sense of purpose - it's something that is in our spirit, we all need it. The chorus encourages a positive purpose that we can all embrace.
Lyrics:
Everyone needs a purpose
Even the old man feeds the birds it’s
In our spirit, we all need it
Here today, gone tomorrow
Let's just say there's a path to follow
If someone smiles, reciprocate it
Go an extra mile if they appreciate it
Be a leader, when they need ya
Show compassion, when it's lacking
Give what’cha got
Even if it's not a lot
It’s ain’t ego
It’s just free flow
You can feel it, don’t need a reason
Here today, gone tomorrow
Let's just say there's a path to follow
If someone smiles, reciprocate it
Go an extra mile if they appreciate it
Be a leader, when they need ya
Show compassion, when it's lacking
Give what’cha got
Even if it's not a lot
Meaning:
Sea Glass is a song I wrote about going through hardships in life but coming out well rounded and beautiful, just like sea glass.
Lyrics:
We all start somewhere
Bottled up when times get tough and
Try to hold it all together
Life just don't seem fair
Shattered glass, now drifting past
Can’t stay the same forever
Maybe the change is good
Like breaking habits
Turn into what we never could
Stagnant
We're like
Sea glass sea glass
I've been lost and found and
Coming out well rounded
Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry
Surviving what we’ve been through
Coming out beautiful
Refined
It don’t happen too fast
We all end up somewhere
You're never stranded, tides aren't random
We can learn to hope
Need a bit more air
It's hard to think
When you start to sink but
We can learn to float
We're like
Sea glass sea glass
I've been lost and found and
Coming out well rounded
Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry
Surviving what we’ve been through
Coming out beautiful
Refined
It don’t happen too fast
We're like
Sea glass sea glass
I've been lost and found and
Coming out well rounded
Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry
Surviving what we’ve been through
Coming out beautiful
Refined
It don’t happen too fast
Meaning:
Old Soul is a song I wrote about a genuine and authentic romantic relationship.
Lyrics:
I needed a melody
You came and inspired me
You pulled on my heartstrings
And made my heart sing
I've been working on this man you see
And keeping faith through all the mystery
Cause I needed an old soul
Felt like somebody I already know
When our eyes meet
It's deeper than deep
Girl you make love feel whole
Something told us to wait and see
For something real that was meant to be
Each moment's like a century
Like rivers flowing into the sea
Cause I needed an old soul
Felt like somebody I already know
When our eyes meet
It's deeper than deep
Girl you make love feel whole
And the touch of your skin
Your hand in my hand
It's a sense of completion
So much more than a feeling
Cause I needed an old soul
Felt like somebody I already know
When our eyes meet
It's deeper than deep
Girl you make love feel whole
Meaning:
Celebrate You is a song I wrote about a healing relationship that provides a context to recover from pain.
Lyrics:
Mistaken
Conflated
Oh silence for weakness
No shame in
What you wanna be sayin'
Don't hide in the meekness
Try to receive this
Love
I'll celebrate you
Love
Everything that you do
That makes you you
Faded
Judgments
They turned into wonder
You've named it
Tamed it
They were only protectors
No longer tethered
Love
I'll celebrate you
Love
Everything that you do
That makes you you
You may know pain
But do you understand
The depths that remain
I'll lend you a hand
So you can
Feel this
Love
I'll celebrate you
Love
Everything that you do
That makes you you
Meaning:
Turn The Page is a song I wrote that is a meditation on how we are all complex human beings walking this Earth. We have so much inside of us that has shaped and influenced who we are. Just like a journal filled with written pages that others do not get to read; yet, somehow, it comes out in different ways metaphorically.
Lyrics:
Dreams come and go and
Streams overflow
Our words and our silence
Tell the story inside us
Want to be know
But our feelings we hold close
Whistle through the darkness
Hoping someone will find us
We're all walking pages
Full of words not saying
Much of what we mean
It comes out metaphorically
We're all walking energy
Reflecting most of what we see
It's deeper than the surface
Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain
So you can turn the page
Dreams come and go and
Streams overflow
Maybe better painted
You can go create it
Stuck in cruise control
Please don't lose hope
Afraid of tears and raining
Is gonna’ mess up your painting
We're all walking pages
Full of words not saying
Much of what we mean
It comes out metaphorically
We're all walking energy
Reflecting most of what we see
It's deeper than the surface
Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain
So you can turn the page
So many ways
We communicate
So many ways
We communicate
Even when we don’t
We're all walking pages
Full of words not saying
Much of what we mean
It comes out metaphorically
We're all walking energy
Reflecting most of what we see
It's deeper than the surface
Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain
So you can turn the page
Meaning:
Sun Showers is a song I wrote about the unpredictability of life.
Lyrics:
I've been in circular motion
Afraid of the ocean
The things I can't see
I can't make a decision
Without algorithms
Influencing me
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
I've been trying to find it
Happy to enlightened
What should I do
I can't be all that they wanted
Life has just started
And I'll see it through
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
Just move
Just move
And carry yourself with a little attitude
Be you
Oh, be you
Let yourself breath give a little room
And just move
Meaning:
Be Bold is a song I wrote about creating meaning in life despite all the tragedy or suffering.
Lyrics:
If everybody's thinking the worst
How we gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna heal
If we don't really know what's real
Is hatred ever gonna make it better
What if I grow, you grow, we both
Shine a light, wouldn't that bold
As we grow
Be bold
And people
Be bold and
Shine a light just shine a light on this world
Trust trust, how we gonna build it
Rush rush, never really present
Hollow intentions
Patience is tested
I've seen it all before like a rerun
Don't let your mind be numb
What if I grow, you grow, we both
Shine a light, wouldn't that bold
As we grow
Be bold
And people
Be bold and
Shine a light just shine a light on this world
We all try to feel safe
Some learn to love
Some learn to hate
Sometimes we look away
Be brave
As we grow
Be bold
And people
Be bold and
Shine a light just shine a light on this world
Meaning:
Whisper By The Sea is a song I wrote about getting older and contemplating life's bigger questions. The structure presents a question and answer dynamic.
Lyrics:
Whisper by, whisper by the sea
Life ain't always what it seems to be
We don’t, really understand it
So we try to play the cards we’ve been handed
Whisper by, whisper by the sea
Somethings coming, coming over me
We grow, we're growing older
I can still see it all, I just move slower
Whisper by, whisper by the sea
Why do things come and go so easily?
Inside it, there is magic
Go and live the life you imagined
Whisper by, whisper by the sea
What should this precious life mean to me?
The sunset, says it all
Reminds you of what you're living for
Whisper by, whisper by the sea
Can I keep coming back when life gets deep?
You, will always know
Even when, you think you don't
