about

It honestly took more than 20 years to write this song. I had the riffs and the chords for so long and couldn't figure out how to add the missing pieces. Then I dreamed the verse melody, ran downstairs before it left my brain, and completed the song in a half hour. Half the song took decades to write and the other half 30 minutes!

I am most proud of this song because it is a genuine love song to my wife and best friend. It's a testament to getting through shit that is thrust upon relationships and the joy of coming out the other side.

Please notice the Sturgill Simpson reference if you are a fan. :)

lyrics

Everyday I wake up to the wonders that I see
And everyday I thank the lord that you’re still here with me
Days have turned to weeks to months to years to half my life
And through the seas of time we’ve sailed you’ve kept my ship upright

It took me 20 years to write this song from me to you
I saved the riff, I saved the chords, and now I’m saving you
To a sanctuary bright and warm where it’s safe for us to breath
A metaphor beyond all words where we can be at ease

‘Cause You Know

What else do you know I’ll tell you what I know as well
That you and I have seen some shit yeah we’ve come back from hell
We catch the anchors while we swim but never have we drowned
The truth is that life isn’t fair but we we’ve always stared it down

And now that our ships have voyaged through the roughest of those seas
A Sailor’s Guide To Earth says let your hair blow in the breeze
We’ll take it as it comes but now it’s time to feel the sun
Starlight guides us through the night but in the day let’s have some fun

‘Cause You Know

Grief brought me back to music..

Six years after the death of my brother I started writing again. This album came out of that.

I think I tapped into something, but I guess it's not up to me to decide that claim. I hope people connect with both the raw grief I express and the recovery from that grief. ... more
