Really beautiful vocals over these chords-this song speaks unity and strength together into whatever lies ahead. Such comfort in unknown territory like these days. 🙌🏼👏🏼

Stunning, this is a force to reckon with! I love the spirit, the energy, the beauty, the dedication.

Beautiful song! Great collaboration work, you two. Positively positive vibes oozing out of this song!

So great to hear Anoki's version, great collaboration.  I really like the momentum.  Strong!

Reading your responses to the comments our fellow group members have left before me, you give me way too much credit. 😂 To me, your version of our song will always be superior, and that is due greatly to the amazing chords and vocal melody you came up with. It was so great to work with you.

So much spirit in this. Love the guitar and the vocals always on point. I found myself singing along "into the unknown". Great work, you two!!

Nice guitar playing. (thought my phone was playing up then realised it is the same song as Anoki that I just listened to!!)

Mercy Mile

Waking from the same repeating dream
Breaking out of lifelong lies and schemes
All my foolish ways now be made wise
Walking down the narrow mercy mile

Taking every step that I regret
Making every play all to forget
Nothing more can heal my hearts desire
Walking down the mercy mercy mile

Walking down the mercy mile
see our spirits soar and rise
leaving all the world behind
Walking down the mercy mercy mile

Leaving all the comfort I have known
Living in the moment far from home
Freedom can be found in rain and shine
Walking down the mercy mercy mile



Come and sit and wait with me awhile
Feel the heavy weight the mud and mire 
Tho we walk together through the fire
We are not alone on the mercy mile

Collaboration with David and Laurie Easterling.

I took a chord progression David came up with as we were starting to collaborate, then brainstormed the first draft of the lyrics. Then David edited the lyrics to fit his way of singing it and we chiseled down extra stanzas to fit to length (not necessarily in that order).  I'll probably record another version sometime soon to improve the mix between the video's audio and the audio into DAW, possibly adding drums, bass too.

Week 4 #songaweek2021. Photo is from a walk with my kids on a woodsy bluff trail overlooking downtown Saint Paul. Feeling very "meh" about this song and life in general today so just made a quick phone recording to git 'er done for another week :)

I’m walking on winter’s water
Skating on thick ice
No fear of drowning
In this frozen paradise

I’m standing in silent snow light
under a full moon
shadows of tree branches
brush the drifts with deep dark hues

Januaerial view
icicle dreams come true

I’m listening to birds and breezes
in the winter woods
bright songs and deep sighs
whispering a world of good

i’m sleeping through winter’s long night
warmed with gentle fire,
soft quilts and old stories
of worlds beyond my cozy shire

I’ll never forget the night we met,
When the winter sky was painted with stars,
We didn’t know it then,
God had a plan for us way back when.

With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.

I confess sometimes I’m lost easily,
And I don’t always know the right way to go,
But every time I followed the stars,
They would lead me back to you.

With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.

We’ve never been apart this long before,
I feel closer now more than ever,
And whenever we meet again,
It will feel as no time has passed at all.

With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.

You've Got To Help Yourself (demo)

Days and days of grey and overcast
Waiting for this goddamn storm to pass
Trying, not to, fall into the mud
Bleak midwinter cold the trees are bare
Feeling like the sky is looking there
Heart is sinking into the flood
But I swore to myself that when the sun came out I'd sing and play

And there's blue in the sky today
---
Black clouds got the best of yesterday
Spring could be a hundred days away
Trudge that path to happy destiny
I can be a grumpy son-of-a-bitch
Grateful for the way you handle it
Trying to seek out the best in me
And I promised myself that when your love arrived I'd sing hooray

And there's blue in the sky today
---
And EVery time I think I went too far you walk me back
And every TIME that I get LOST you help to GET me back on track
And anyTHING I tried to MAKE it fell part ‘til I FOUND you
Then right on cue… the sun came shining through

And there's blue in the sky x4 today

Blue In The Sky

Song-A-Week 2021 week 4 contribution.

Don't sit around
nursing that slow gin, it's slowing down everything
Don't sit around
starring at the screen, it's just a hole to fall in
II: Don't sit around
but help yourself to what the world has got to offer
Don't sit around
waiting for the world to come to you, here's what you do:

Cross the floor, walk out the door, hail a cab, buy a black Lab
Take her for a walk, have a little talk with your friends and neighbors
Hit the gym (muscles kicking in), run a good mile or dance without style
Bike that trail, spot a whale, take a boat out for a sail

It's all there for the taking
just help yourself, and you'll be making
a complete one-hundred-and-eighty

Don't sit around
with your head in the past, the past doesn't last
Don't sit around
worrying 'bout what's ahead, tomorrow you might be dead, so :II
