📝 Lyrics:

I’m keeping my distance
I’ve been running since you,
Packed up your stuff 
At home just kicking myself,
Leaving the phone alone,
And untouched,

If I knocked on your door,
Would you welcome me,
With love and understanding,
If you were standing right here,
With that look in your eye,
I might panic 

And all those little things,
We had are gone,
I’ve lost all my words,

Cause I don’t know if I’m ready or not,
And I don’t want hear you say,
That this was all it was,
And these memories,
Will slowly fade away,
So I’m keeping my distance,

Late nights I’m holding my breath,
I know it’s bad,
and I can’t keep this up,
And you know,
All my love for you,
Was always as true,
As the sky being blue 

And all those little things,
We had are gone,
I’ve lost all my words,

Cause I don’t know if I’m ready or not,
And I don’t want hear you say,
That this was all it was,
And these memories,
Will slowly fade away,
So I’m keeping my distance,

And into the night,
I still feel you by my side,
And I’m wondering why,
Maybe in another life,
I still hear you calling,
I thought we were all in,
I thought we were all in,

"When tragedy strikes our lives, time doesn’t heal wounds. Words of condolence are not enough to alleviate the painful heart, but once we start surrendering our wounded hearts to the magical beauty of music, we may just be able to find solace from within…" excerpt from SOLACE album notes.

Structured around 5 stages of grieving (Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance), SOLACE is a personal musical healing project I created to pay tribute to my father, who's life was taken away in a senseless gun violence on the south side of Chicago.  SOLACE stays close to my heart as I process and bring powerful closure to the past 25 years of silently grieving. I share SOLACE with millions of others suffering silently due to such unfortunate events. May the power of music bring us comfort and healing and enable us to seek compassion, forgiveness, appreciation and love for one another. Let's spread MUSIC and LOVE, not bullets and hatred, and make this world a better place. May God bless us all. Thank you!
