I was stuck
Could not escape
Was ah clone
Livin' same ole days

Learning to see
As she wanted me
With this new mindset
She met my needs

I was tired of livin' a life
Not mine
I was trapped
And running out of time

If I could create
A brand new life
Then so let it be
It is time I fly

Tonight

I broke free
Lived a new dream
Finally free
Making new memories

I broke free
Lived a new dream
Finally free
Making new memories

I may have been old
But it wasn't too late
Brought back my soul
Lived another another day

Left the mindset for good
I did not stay
Because of time 
There began a new day

And so
And so
And so

I was tired of livin' a life
Not mine
I was trapped
And runnin' out of time

If I could create
A brand new life
Then so let it be
It was time I fly

Tonight

I broke free
Lived a new dream
Finally free
Making new memories

I broke free
Lived a new dream
Finally free
Making new memories

And so
I broke free
And so
Lived ah new, new dream
And so
Finally, finally free
And so
Making new memories

I may have been old
But it wasn't too late
Brought my soul
Lived another, another day
Lived another, another day
Lived another, another day
Lived another, another day

And so
And so
And so
And so

I broke free
Lived a new dream
Finally free
Making new memories

Making New Memories

I write songs every morning at 7 a.m. and I’ve been doing it for the past 36 years. Most days I perform them around 4:20 p.m. in my home studio. Sometimes the songs come to me while I’m working outside, and other times it’s just over a cup of coffee in complete silence early in the morning. The music comes from a place beyond me. It has a purpose and it’s meant to be shared. I do it for a higher power who wants me to do it for you as well, simply put. : )

I create everything from home, starting with recording my voice with a simple melody of hope, love and belief, then building with synth, guitar, bass, drums, etc. I use recording programs like Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Suno. I then mix & master each song until it feels right to me. What you hear is the true result of that process.

These songs are more than just sound. They are meant to bring strength, healing, and connection from my past experiences in this life. My hope is that when you listen, you feel encouraged and reminded that you are not alone.

Thank you for being part of this journey. It means everything to me. I believe in family first and music second, and sharing both with you is heaven to me. I hope you’ll keep listening and following along as this story continues.

Take care,
