The title track to my forthcoming EP, "Alone On a Bench in the Dark" is about the spiraling feeling of addiction and the rubber band effect of wanting to escape and always coming back, all the while knowing your choices will eventually end up with you being alone (either physically, emotionally, or spiritually). When you come to that realization, do you resign to your fate and just accept where you'll be or try to pull yourself out?

EverythingIsGonnaBeOkay - Demo

Here's one of my more recent original songs. It came up from the idea of being able to tell how old a tree is and what it's been through by looking at the rings. Though of course once you cut it down to look at the rings that is the end of that cycle of growth. Strings used to be used as a method of remembering things by tying them to your finger, so the idea is about having to constantly remind yourself that everything is going to be okay.
