Better Place

Keeps Me Ashore

This song was written shortly after the death of a lifelong friend, Allan Goodman. Allan was an up-and-coming musician in the Texas music scene and was branching out into Nashville while battling stage 4 cancer. 

Allan was a member of my high school band and virtually everything we did or talked about was music-related. It was both our ambition and goal to pursue music as a career and Allan was finally making it happen. 

Unfortunately, despite his spirit and positivity, Allan succumbed to the horrific disease that ravaged his body. 

Struggling with the loss of my own father and discovering my newborn son was deaf shortly prior to the loss of Allan, I had lost my desire to write music as well as the joy I once got from listening. Allan reinspired me and reminded me that I needed to write, record and find my voice again. It was difficult to disagree with someone who, facing the biggest challenge and struggle of his life, never once lost hope or was discouraged that he would prevail. 

This song is a tribute to a fallen friend and dedicated to every friend and family member impacted by his loss to cancer on May 21, 2014. I can only hope that this songs brings solace to those that loved him and serves as a reminder that although he is gone, we can always hear his music and feel his legacy beyond his life on Earth.

When It Rains

A song about my son and the uncertainty around understanding how to deal with the unexpected.
