We never planned to release this.
These songs were just for us, little moments that sat on hard drives and notebooks, never really meant to leave the room. But after a while, it started to feel wrong keeping them hidden.

The Collection isn’t a greatest hits or a polished project. It’s the story of where we’ve been, caught in all its rough edges and quiet mistakes. Some songs are years old, while others seem to have come out of nowhere. Together, they make up everything that’s brought us here.

We didn’t mean for this to be an album. But here we are.


Knew Me Now

A song about admitting failure but moving past the hurt into a place of freedom.

Miraculous Love

A sad song, remember my brother-in-law in the Philippines whom passed away Christmas Day, 2024.  I loved him very much, we were family, and despite myself being Caucasian born in Canada from Austrian parents he treated me with such affection and care as only a brother can.  Not a day goes by that I do not miss my brother in law, he will always be in my heart.  I first met him in person in 1997 (President Ramos was the President).  I'll write about my adventures in the Philippines in the near future.  I love my extended family, I love the Philippines, and I love Filipino people whom have always treated me like a Filipino - lol, I even went cockfighting and ate native Philippine food (which tastes great).  It's been a hard year as I've lost 8 relatives in the Philippines since Oct. 2024, but especially the loss of my brother in law, breaks this ole cowboy's heart.
