Quiet Sound 03:25
Falling far from what felt like the top Slowing down till you come to a stop In the walls of this room you found What was always there, a quiet sound CHORUS Sing to me me like I'm an inch from you It's a delicate thing when it comes from a place that's true No need to push to let it out You can whisper you don't need to shout Maybe that's what this time is about The quiet sound And you find a quiet sound And you find it And the world keeps moving outside your door With a speed you haven't seen before Turn it down but the noise is vast Wonder if you'll ever find a peace that lasts CHORUS Sing to me me like I'm an inch from you It's a delicate thing when it comes from a place that's true No need to push to let it out You can whisper you don't need to shout Maybe that's what this time is about The quiet sound And you find a quiet sound And you find it

If I tell you everything I fear you'll turn away The light of day is darkest when you're living in the fray I've gotta get out, set this free Hold it takes a toll on me Wanna talk about the way I was wrong CHORUS And the song wells up inside I can't run, don't wanna hide So instead I'll turn around and listen in Every sin I held in shame Every soul I sought to blame Let them fly away on wings Those heavy things Won't weigh me down In the race for knowing where I stand I fall behind And I find I'm caught up in a flood of fears that bind me up And keep me small So I call out to you right before I fall And you pick me up And tell me I belong CHORUS And the song wells up inside I can't run, don't wanna hide So instead I'll turn around and listen in Every sin I held in shame Every soul I sought to blame Let them fly away on wings Those heavy things Won't weigh me down

Over oceans and under the moon In the sad heartsick songs he could croon On the dance floors of the parties they threw I was looking for you I was looking for you On the sand where they said we could drive In the honey from his homegrown beehive I see everything like it's a clue I was looking for you I was looking for you CHORUS I was looking for something to hold onto Looking for someone to be I was looking for a place to come home to But in the end of that looking I found me I found me Between the lines of the records you turn On the skin where the sun cannot burn In the spring tulips I grew I was looking for you I was looking for you On the walls painted yellow and green Pictures found in an old magazine You act surprised but I'm sure you knew I was looking for you I was looking for you CHORUS I was looking for something to hold onto Looking for someone to be I was looking for a place to come home to But in the end of that looking I found me I found me

My Plan 05:19
I called the shots Then I shot 'em all down Thought I had you fooled And I would never be found There goes my plan I've been caught And I can't say it all was for naught But in the end when push came to shove All that mattered was love I build myself up Just to tear it all down I search for a harbor In every town But the anchor I seek is too weak And I'm lost and adrift in the blue Spread my arms wide And somehow the tide Brought me to you CHORUS I will lay down my defenses Turn my hands up to the sky I'll drift off to sleep with hope for tomorrow And wake up smiling in your eyes You can teach me how to let go I will teach you how to sing And in the darkness of winter I'll take your hand And walk into spring Let's make a home A safe place to rest We'll gather these dreams And weave them into a nest The storms they'll return And so we learn To treat each moment we get as gold And I've been told The secret to it all Is to let yourself fall

about

I wrote most of the songs (except Looking For You) during the pandemic. I added a chorus to Looking For You which changed the whole song and brought into the space of the other 3 tracks. I recorded all my parts in my home studio on and Ear Trumpet Labs mic along with Allen Hunter's bass. Then I sent everything to musician/engineer/producer Steven Lee Tracy and he added the most beautiful additions to each track. I had a few melody hooks in mind, but mostly I just turned it over to him and the result is very beautiful. He brought out the tenderness and contemplative nature of these songs. I am grateful to get to work with Allen and Steven and to share these songs with you all now.
