LYRICS

you were so close, such best friends
and you were his girl
whispering back and forth
the only two people in the world
then too soon, too early
it all ended when he died
the few short miles you rode together
cut short in the blink of an eye

you thought you'd have a lifetime
but your trip just became a sunday drive
so much shorter than you'd wanted
you know but still you had the time of your lives

you set out early, filled with wonder
the whole world was bathed in light,
but then the shadows all grew longer
as the sunshine turned to night
even though the dark may have
brought you so many tears
you still had those miles together
and you’ll always have those years

you thought you'd have a lifetime
but your trip just became a sunday drive
so much shorter than you'd wanted
you know but still you had the time of your lives

your trip was over way too soon
but we're all livin' on the good Lord's time
maybe someday you can head back out
for another ride

you thought you'd have a lifetime
but your trip just became a sunday drive
so much shorter than you'd wanted
you know but still you had the time of your lives
of your lives

Belonging

I'm a songwriter from Virginia, USA. I work a day job for the Government. I love my God, my family, and my country. I also love music. I love listening to it, I love playing it, and most of all I love writing it and have over 25 years of songwriting experience. 

Songwriting strengths include: 
- strong melodies
- lyrical breadth from deeply introspective to tongue-in-cheek to intellectual
- creative harmonic progressions
- diversity, adaptability, and variability of style while maintaining a common sound
- varied song structures
- flexibility in songwriting...I've adapted music to fit lyrics, lyrics to fit music, and written entire songs around a hummed melody
- musical score writing rooted in a degree in music and music theory

I write music I would want to listen to. When I do listen, I listen to Led Zeppelin. I listen to tons of classical. I listen to Muse. I listen to Dave Matthews Band. I listen to The Black Keys. I listen to Zero 7. I listen to Benny Goodman. I listen to Pink Floyd. I listen to Sonny Boy Williamson. I listen to I listen to a hell of a lot more than that. You get the idea. I don't write to emulate them, but their influence is written all over me. 

Much of the music here is recorded with my band from a few years ago, Parlance, and features my songwriting with acoustic pop-rock instrumentation, driven by acoustic guitar and piano. Many recordings are longer versions with drawn out instrumental sections because the band often would extend songs out to 10+ minutes when playing live, but most longer versions could be reduced to "single length".
