After decades of being together, a fire of love still burns in the hearts of a happily married couple.

On the Other Side is the contemplation when wondering about the end of the ring of life in this world and believing in an afterlife that is glorious and amazing.  Hoping that you are living in an acceptable way to make that journey into the unknown paradise.

A drifter roams from town to town doing what he can to get by. All the while considering his life choices and his current state of mind. Misunderstanding the reasons why he is all alone.

A man's horrible day of making mistakes when his emotions take over his own ability to control himself. Going from one event to another only to be caught up in the moments of poor decision.

Recognizing there is one who is with you at all times guiding and leading you through your path of life. Understanding the absolute awe in how astonishingly some situations can completely humble you.

Your eyes are wide open as you twirl around the dancehall. It seems as though everyone else is in slow motion and synchronous as you are bouncing away to the rhythms.  Mixed and mastered by Nicolas Essig from Los Angeles, CA.

What we see is all it's meant to be. Seeing ourselves (in a mirror). Maybe we don't really have to figure it out, we just have to accept us for who we are.  Lively folk/rock track.  Mixed and mastered by Nicolas Essig from Los Angeles, CA.

How long have we been talking about changing the world? For generations… and it will continue indefinitely. Mostly the world does not change nor will it. Really we all know it is ‘people’ of the world that need to change. We are all people of this world and we all have to change to do our part. It really is a wonderful world and it will become all that more wonderful if we can all become ‘more’ wonderful.  Mixed and mastered by Nicolas Essig from Los Angeles, CA.

Relationships will come and go as long as we are alive on this earth. Some will last longer; some will last but a few moments. As we let some relationships go, there is usually a struggle between our hearts and our minds. Our heart is our compass, but our minds can be so very difficult to tame.  Mixed and mastered by Nicolas Essig from Los Angeles, CA.

"Dancing Shoes" is about the free going spirit you get when you're stomping your feet and dancing to the beat.

There is a serenity within our being that we hold onto in order to stay in good spirits and somewhat tranquil in our lives.

Life changes and decisions take us in many different directions, and sometimes the way is not clear until we commit to that next step.

As hate, anger and division conquer the atmosphere our heart, minds and cities are burning. The time has come to set aside our differences and unite as one with love.

Cabela & Schmitt are: Rich Cabela (guitar, keyboards), Wayne Schmitt (guitar, keyboards), and Tom Schmitt (bass guitar, keyboards).

We are a trio of friends who have been collaborating for over 40 years.  We are all given a voice, in some way or another, to communicate how we see and experience the world. Cabela & Schmitt have chosen to expose our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings in the best way we can....through a song. 

Our music is really a snapshot of our life. The birth of a song happens with just accumulating random thoughts on how life comes and how you react to it.  So, the thoughts are there, scattered, no rhymes, no order, just like anybody can have. We always have music in our hearts/heads, and all we do is learn what we hear. The melodies start playing, and suddenly those random thoughts and phrases begin to fall into place, like they belong. Most people call that songwriting, but we don't take that credit for ourselves. We believe we've been given messages that need to be shared.  
Our love for making music has been mostly a lifelong venture. These sounds come to life in our hearts and minds and they are gifts we have been given to be able to bring these songs to life in our recordings.  It's the most satisfying thing when we get feedback from some of our fans who have been touched by the music.
