about

So happy to share this new song — Ride — some songs just show up, regardless of whether there’s time to write them. I’ve got 2 young kids and the pandemic has been a blur for me. This song came out in snippets as I passed my Wurlitzer piano in the hallway while chasing toddlers, doing laundry, squeezing 15 mins of work in, just keeping up with COVID life. This song was a surprise, and it’s very hopeful. Creativity can keep us going through this, I hope you can find some time to make something. Ride on!

lyrics

And I awoke
The fleeting fiction fading from my brain
Compels me back to surface where I’m sane
Two hands upon the wheel stay in the lane
The darkness swirls like water down the drain

And you spoke
A sound that brought me back inside my skin
A summoning of past that dwells within
I sometimes can’t believe you let me in
Morning after is when we atone for sin

So ride, ride on, the dawn sweeps out before you
Hold, hold on There’s better days ahead
Ride ride on, again I must implore you
Hold on hold on don’t let it slip away

And I joke
Sometimes to test the water sometimes for fun
But you won’t really know me til I’m done
I tend to fail to walk but not to run
Remember that the trouble’s all the fun

So ride, ride on, the dawn sweeps out before you
Hold, hold on There’s better days ahead
Ride ride on, again I must implore you
Hold on hold on don’t let it slip away
