Samara Smiled

Written and performed by Christa Wells, "Held" is a powerful song about the matter-of-fact reality of trauma and the struggle to find hope when the sacred is torn from your life and you survive. Special thanks to Christa for sharing this song with all of our Kickstarter campaign supporters.

Held - written and performed by Christa Wells

This is a track I wrote and recorded many moons ago. I'm guessing circa 2001. It was a bit of an homage to the Prodigal Son story from the Bible, written first from the son's perspective, then from the real world, and finally from the father. 

The Greatest Show On Earth

Take a trip with me, back to 1995. This is a little song that I wrote for my girlfriend and high-school sweetheart, Adrian Weaver. After she listened to it for the very first time, she turned around to find me on one knee, asking for her hand in marriage.

18 years, 6 children and lot of amazing adventures later, I am so incredibly glad that she said yes... and this is the song that started it all.

To Spend My Life With You

This song was written by me and my daughter, Samara. Initially inspired by the untimely passing of a friend's son, this song stands as a testament to the love we all have for our children. This recording was produced in partnership with Phil Larson, a gifted musician and friend who also scored and mixed the track.
