Up To You 02:39
We showed you good ways to go But you chose a crooked route to roam Fighting water with fire Time has shown You think you're best left alone It's up to you now So, make us proud It's up to you now Don't take us down You walk a well paved road But what you need is one that's overgrown Sick and tired of screaming One day you'll know Our reasons for pleading don't go It's up to you now So, make us proud It's up to you now Don't take us down Well, of course your choice is a battle It's not easy to know you might fail As the war breaks out tonight Stand tall It's up to you now So, make us proud It's up to you now

We caught eyes in the springtime We first held hands in June Kissed in the winter And we danced around this room But when you threw your arms around him Ya' knocked me off the moon I never could shake that feeling Please don't let me fall In love with you again I cannot stand You knocked me over When I wake up And you are gone Climb to my feet again But I cannot breathe Up ahead's a red light This road we're on is much too steep If I fail to turn around now I guess my heart's in much too deep Please don't let me fall In love with you again I cannot stand You knocked me over When I wake up And you are gone Climb to my feet again But I cannot breathe Love is a wave gone past Try as I might to keep from drowning You make me sink fast Please don't let me fall In love with you again I cannot stand You knocked me over When I wake up And you are gone Climb to my feet again But I cannot breathe

So Clever 04:18
We're searchers, moving stars Until we stake the ground When two by two's make there's someone always aching I saved our good days To get through all the rest And even though I lived here I signed in as your guest So clever you were To get me here So clever To get me gone You found your forever When you laid out together So clever you were So clever These rituals and rings Are things that leave me haunted The life you chose with him Is what you never wanted When you were with me So clever you were To get me here So clever To get me gone You found your forever When you laid out together So clever you were So clever Oh, he makes you quite the home Now you're reaping all that you've sewn Moving out as a non-believer You stand alone So clever you were To get me here So clever To get me gone You found your forever When you laid out together So clever you were So clever We're searchers, broken stars When we hit the ground Two by two's break I know how much you're aching Forever now we roam

Wide awake 5 a.m. and I've already left my skin Room so still Just the sound of my heart as it pounds with anticipation I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all Our storyline ran through my mind all night I never grow tired of you Just one to go But an hour passing slow is more than my heart can take I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all You and I So much light Of course I'll spin around the world with you Just hold on tight From tonight We might get dizzy I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all

Ukulele Song 03:58
Round in circles I chase you every turn Play with fire See if I catch you Oh, how it will burn No one to blame We're both guilty Cannot help but be When you're not here I'm not lonely But so empty We should look to What it could be On a distant afternoon I'm at this door No light, no key Someday it might be yours Dare not wake up What's locked in our dreams Lest we break down Those we vow to need No one to blame We're both guilty Cannot help but be When you're not here I'm not lonely But so empty We should look to What it could be On a distant afternoon I'm at this door No light, no key Someday it might be yours Will we one day Find ourselves In the fire where We can burn this love No one to blame We're both guilty Cannot help but be When you're not here I'm not lonely But so empty We should look to What it could be On a distant afternoon I'm at this door No light, no key Someday it might be yours Someday I will be yours

If This Is 02:51
Jumped in the river With you and your friends Bright stars budding Where horizons suspend Sat on the canyon On a rock built of pride where I Heard things I wanted And said we should try If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you We are both broken In our own way But understanding Those difficult days I know I've met you As some other soul Buried in fortune My pieces made whole now If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you I've got to know everything I wish I knew it now I lock myself up As freedom abounds You said you'd been waiting But life's for the taking Please take me too Now I know love is you If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you

At the waterfall On the brink of all we were Had a love so tall Emptied rivers, dried the streams Was it all my lover's dream At the mountain's peak Did I really speak those words Had a doubt so weak I filled the meadows, moved the breeze Was it all my lover's plea So here I am now Looking back to all we were Got a love so tall 'Cause you it seems are all I need So will you be my lover's dream Will you be my lover's dream Will you be my lover's dream

about

Recently, I decided to record a raw, solo acoustic album filled primarily with new songs I’ve been writing over the last 18 months. I’ve been penning songs alone for ages, but in the past year or so I’ve discovered the joys of teaming up with talented friends to see what we come up with together. Some of the songs from this album were written alone in quiet solitude, while others were born out of creatively open and incredibly fulfilling collaborations.

I wanted to record these songs in my home (which I lovingly call Awaken Studios) in a very simple way, so I set up a couple of mics and performed all the songs straight through, playing and singing at the same time, not worrying about getting perfect separation of vocals from the guitar. My goal was to end up with a collection of recordings that feel like I’m just sitting in a room, playing my songs for you. With the help of Nikolai Giefer on the mixing, Josh Koterba / Austin Nivarel at Ursa Major Sound on the mastering and co-writers Courtney Seiberling and Aaron Arnwine, I am very proud of these intimate sessions where every note, floor creak and breath you hear is real.

Thanks for your support! I hope you enjoy the album!
