Songs In The Burner
I've been writing songs since as long as I can remember, and you can most assuredly know that every song I write has at least a bit of truth in it, and in more cases than not, a whole hell of lot a truth.
While we all travel on different roads through life, one thing is for certain, sooner or later that road will lead each of us to extreme highs, and lower than low lows...most will at one time or another find love, experience heartache and pain and for the lucky, like myself a sort of, redemption. My songs reflect on childhood innocence to adult wonder, and a bit of cynicism.
I am certain I have grown, hell we all grow mentally, physically and spiritually. The road I have travelled on had me trekking through assorted heart attack towns and beautiful wide open spaces...all the time, though not known at the time I might add, in search of some meaning to my existence. It is truly a journey where I found there is no real destination. The destination is the journey itself.
On this journey I have taken to pen, and continue to pen many different songs. Songs that at times are are as dark as the night sky on the backroads of southern Illinois, and at other times shining kinda like the sun through an open window on a cold winters day....warms you up. Some of my songs are reflections on my childhood, while others were written based on what was occurring in my life at the time.... and now, I am writing songs while looking forward with humble gratitude.
Below is just a small portion of the songs I will be recording in the future, in no particular order.
