about

This song is an exploration of experiences of a sense of wonder, and the existential question that flows from them.

lyrics

Watching the colors turn on the leaves
And the grey squirrel gathering
While the stellar jay’s yelling at him
How then shall I live?

Following fireflies in the grass
Catch one glowing in my hands
While the thunder is rolling past
How then shall I live?

All I want for you is to walk the earth and know that you belong to her,
She’ll give you what you need
All I ask is you not take too much
Love her for the rest of us, we are her children too

Alone in the night, surfing down the waves
Looking up at the Milky Way
Sails are full, smile is on my face
How then shall I live?

Ripples glow as I jump in
Feel cold water on my skin
Stars above are reflecting in
How then shall I live?

All I want for you is to walk the earth and know that you belong to her,
She’ll give you what you need.
All I ask is you not take too much.
Love her for the rest of us, we are her children too

Look into the deep pools of your eyes.
heart is pounding a great surprise.
How can one so small be so wise?
How then shall I live?

Music is medicine.

I don't have as much time as i'd like to make music these days, but if the music I make is able to be medicine to someone... to bring some healing, or just a good feeling, then it will have been time well spent.
