“Smile, For Your Lover Comes" is an intimate love song and an epic journey of romance. Named after a Walt Whitman poem, it explores the beauty found in deep longing and unmet desire, as well as themes of remembrance and acceptance. It is the reassuring tribute to smile in spite of it all, for love is on its way.

Smile For Your Lover Comes

“Regal" is a classic ballad written in honor of grace, poise, and beauty. It is the soundtrack for those moments when beauty takes your breath away, not by an action, but by its mere existence. It is the presence of the divine amongst the ordinary. The gentle gift of charming a room merely by entering it.
