I wrote this tune on the road and recorded it with Jaxon Garrick.

Rainbow

This song is about the mountains near my home.

Goodbye Little Cottonwood

This song is a tribute to one of my musical heroes Janis Joplin.

This short album details the last year and a half of my life. It's crazy to look at everything that's happened and consider that it's been only one and a half years.

I'm Coming Home was written most recently. I made it across the country, ended up in North Carolina. I had expected music to carry me and love me as it always had. Here at the end of my rope I said to Darby something along the lines of:
"I hate it. It's taken me way the hell out here. Away from my family and everybody I know and love. I did it all for the music and now I hate it. I hate it and I don't know what I'm doing."
So I gave myself permission to hate music and to stop practicing and writing. This song is for me making the decision to love myself more than this ridiculous abstract thing I always do, to live my life for myself and to come home. Y'know the name of the album.

Old Brown Dog, written in the Summer, is a song heavily inspired by Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night". This is a song on the voyager record flying through space, waiting to be discovered by extraterrestrials. Old Brown Dog is about the end of life, the end of humanity, our world. For me it expressed a descent into madness.

I'm a Man was written when I made it to LA and lost my way. It wasn't what I had expected, I wasn't the hero I thought I was. It's about forgiving myself.

This Time was written in the Autumn following Aquarius. It captures the existential anxiety I had in looking at my last semester of school ahead, the coming winter, the living in the van and the strength I'd eventually need to make it through.

Aquarius was written when I was in a depression. It's about the innocence and idealism of the start of a journey.
