about

When I was younger, despite the fact that performing is by nature an act of vulnerability, I was always holding back just a bit. I might perform a very personal song and then follow it up by dismissing it as a joke. I now know that one of the best aspects of making music (or art in general) is the connection it allows you to forge with others. However, it is only through true honesty that we can create these connections.

With this song and video, my goal was to put myself out there in a way I had never been able to before. Like many people, I don't always love the sound of my voice, so I decided to make a very tender, singing-forward song as opposed to the angry shout-fests of my past work. Additionally, like most, I have some insecurity in my outward appearance, so I decided to make a video that was 100% centered on a video portrait of myself.

In the end, I just hope that by watching/listening, people will feel that they know me better. And that if the piece resonates with them, they might feel comfortable sharing more of themselves in return. I hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Lyrics:

I remember I was young
The crickets sang the summer's swan song
September looming in our minds

Days of peaceful solitude
I'd lie alone there in my room
Optimism blooming in my eyes

Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here

In my heart, I am still a child
Running round and round in circles
Wreckless and wild
In my mind, I am dying all the time
I need you more than heaven
So do not be unkind
Tell me

Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here

To me
Heaven is the mountains
The smell of incense
Cup of tea in my hand
Home
Home, is on the Great Lakes
Fall storms and summer days
Where I'd make my last stand

Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here
Where do, where do we go from here
