"Meet Me Where I Am" (#500, 210906)

Somethin' strange about these feet of mine
There's some roads they just can't seem to find
My eyes see where the highway should be at
But I can't get half the places on this map

I set out early long before the dawn
Somehow the best directions steer me wrong
All that I can think to do is pray
That you would show the mercy of your name

Meet me where I am like you always do
Lead me by the hand please I'm beggin' you
Fix this broken man fill my heart again
I need you still meet me where I am

There's nothin' wrong at all with best laid plans
But I know who can do the things I can't
So when I'm stuck it's clear as any bell
It's time to hit my knees and ask for help

We took our name from a painting by Max Ernst, which features an innocent bird menaced by a threatening forest.

This mixture of innocence and menace is present in our songs, which explore different worlds, some light and some dark. 

Our debut EP "Pleasure to Burn" came out on 15th January 2016. Critics have been very kind, praising our blend of "Spanish folk with US southern blues":  http://emergingindiebands.com/forest-dove/

Mainly a guitarist, and sometimes singer-songwriter, I am influenced mostly by the singer-songwriters from the 60's and early 70's.
