Song written and performed by Sarah Smith
Cover photo and song theme by Caroline Lichtenberger
In her words, "This photo captures a very unique and mystical moment in the forest. Preserving forests like these and the incredible biodiversity they hold is my biggest inspiration. Primitive forests like the ones in the PNW are disappearing around the world, yet they are the very places we should preserve."

LYRICS:
The Song for the Ancient Forests

Under my canopy
I am a giant
So hard-wired
To bring you peace
Rooted and strong
Right where I belong
I feel free and wild
Soaking in the quiet

How long – Will I be loved
How long – Can I stay strong
How long – Can I stand my ground through it all

Singing of the leaves
Flowing of the creek
Wind torn limbs
Water running down
Sound of the waves
Bringing treasures in
My soul’s watched it all
And will till I fall

How long – Will I be loved
How long – Can I stay strong
How long – Can I stand my ground through it all

I’ve got friends here I can’t let them down
They count on me to keep them safe and sound
I’ve got friends here I can’t let them down
They count on me to keep them safe and sound

How long – Will I be loved
How long – Can I stay strong
How long – Can I stand my ground through it all

Song for the Ancient Forests

flow state - CA$L (prod. yvngonce)

Esoteric spoken-word lament over wounded ancient forests of Vancouver Island — Fairy Creek & Walbran echoes in moonlit cedar dreams." 



In faerynth creeks where thymelarch ancients once gleamed unchained, Iron decrees felled the guardians, leaving only crimson-veined pain.

Walbryn shadows cradle the castlethrone cedars, vast and sere, Their monumental hearts pierced by vorathal blades, year after year.

Through fairyveil mists, the orphinae yellow-cedars bleed their lore, Blockaded dreams shattered in stumps that the wild winds ignored.

Central walbrana groves, once luminth cathedrals of emerald might, Now scarred by the profane harvest under deferred, fleeting light.

Chronovae roots of the castle giant twist in silenced agony deep, Where glossolalic protests once rose, now only the silence weeps.

Nyxal waters of fairy creek carry the somnara's fractured sigh, Ancient thrones toppled, their iridescent sap staining the sky.

Elyndral sentinels in walbran fall to the iron-hearted vow, Quintara truths entombed in clearings where eternelle fades now.

Velithar rains mourn the central groves' despoiled, quiescent gleam, Where monumental bark once sang, now echoes of a broken dream.

Thaloryn elders of fairy watershed lie prone in emerald despair, Their aurynth threads severed by the storm of uncaring air.

Noctivelle remnants in walbryn pulse with wounded, fading fire, In liminal wreckage where abused ancients still conspire.

Fairy Creek_Moonlit Cedar of Walbran

1. In faerynth headwaters, where thymelarch sentinels dreamed unchained for millennia, Vorathal blades descended like eclipsed moons, carving crimson oaths into the emerald vein.
2. Castlethrone cedars of walbryn stood as cathedrals forged by starlight's quiet vow, Yet iron-hearted decrees felled their monumental hearts, scattering aurynth dust to profane winds.
3. Yellow-cedar orphinae in fairyveil mists once sang glossolalic hymns to the watershed's soul, Now their roots bleed silenced prophecies, blockaded only by mortal hands that tremble with forgotten fire.
4. Central walbrana's luminth groves pulsed as living chronovae, binding time in bark and breath, Until the profane harvest tore their canopy-thrones, leaving somnara echoes trapped in sun-bleached graves.
5. The castle giant, vast as a slumbering leviathan of nyxal lore, guarded the valley's liminal gate, But vorathal chains severed its ancient vow, and now its hollow trunk whispers curses to the rain.
6. Fairy creek's waters once carried quintara truths in silver currents through fern-laced halls, Defiled by the storm of uncaring iron, they now mourn in quiet, carrying shards of iridescent grief downstream.
7. Elyndral guardians of walbran arose in emeraldine repose, their bark inscribed with celestial runes, Yet the blade's cold vow toppled them into ruin, where velithar rains fall as tears on despoiled thrones.
8. In the amphitheatre of fairy headwaters, ancient firs formed pillars of an otherworldly mosque, Felled by shadowed greed, their geometry shattered, leaving only the wind to recite their fractured litany.
9. Thaloryn elders of the central groves wove aurynth threads through moss and mycelial dream, Severed by the hydra of industry, their unraveled essence lingers, conspiring in the liminal wreckage still.
10. Noctivelle remnants across fairy and walbryn pulse with wounded, fading gleam of eternelle fire, Abused ancients dream in stumps and scars, awaiting the day their silent conspiracy awakens the world anew.

prod me

I fall asleep
counting on nothing
I don't want to feel anymore
deep in my soul im still teething
learning to crawl on the floor

and maybe just maybe he's there
not wanting them to turn out the lights
everything that he went through is not fair

when did I get so used to the dark
all that he wanted to do was play
guess I could its just not the same

I couldn't sleep
running off nothing
still trying to hide from it all
I still feel them judging
since before I knew how to crawl

and maybe one day he'll recover
not wanting them to break out a fight
everything he went through is not fair

when did him and I grow so apart
all he wanted was for them to stay
guess if they did still won't be the same

crawl

Shadow Creek Ritual

A testimony‑style Christian song about someone who wandered far from God but was repeatedly rescued by grace, with the hook “two little words changed it all: but God,” framing every failure as a place God rewrote the story.

But God

Ep 162 - Hit and Run

“He’s Already There” is an original Southern Gospel / inspirational song written by Bryan James Hatton (BMI, 2026) and performed by The Hatton Creek Boys. This song was born out of seasons of unanswered questions, heavy loads, and lonely miles—only to look back and realize that God was present in every step.

From heartache to raging storms, “He’s Already There” reminds us that before we face tomorrow, His grace has already gone before us. Even when we feel forgotten or can’t see a way out, the Lord is quietly carrying us to where we need to be. Whatever waits around the bend…He’s already there.

Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball, Building the Future From a Historic Home

Battle Creek Battle Jacks Announce New Tagline and Tease Alternate
Identity for 2026

Battle Creek, Mich. (January 16, 2026). The Battle Creek Battle Jacks today announced a new official tagline that will guide the organization into its next chapter, while also previewing plans for a Southwest Michigan alternate identity to be introduced during the 2026 season.

As the Battle Jacks prepare to enter its fifth season since the rebrand from the “Bombers”, the announcement reflects a moment of reflection, pride, and purpose for the organization and the community it serves.
Beginning in 2026, the Battle Jacks will officially carry the tagline:
Battle Creek Battle Jacks.
Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball.
The new identity represents more than a branding update. It signals a renewed commitment to Battle Creek, recognition of the city’s deep baseball roots, and a long-term vision that positions the ballpark as the gathering place for baseball fans across the entire Southwest Michigan
region.
“This moment is about clarity,” said Owner and President Scott Miles. “Southwest Michigan is -*the region we serve. Battle Creek is the home that defines it. Our ballpark stands on some of the most historic baseball grounds in the Midwest. Hall of Famers played here in their early years. Generations of families have come through this park. Past teams wore Southwest Michigan across their chests because Battle Creek had earned that identity.”
A Home Built on History
Baseball in Battle Creek did not begin with the Battle Jacks.
For decades, Bailey Park and historic C.O. Brown Stadium in Battle Creek have stood among the Midwest’s most important amateur baseball venues. Long before the Battle Jacks took the field, the park hosted professional baseball, championship teams, and a who’s who of Michigan baseball royalty. From future Hall of Famers like Derek Jeter and John Smoltz in the earliest stages of their careers to countless unforgettable summer nights, the ballpark helped shape the baseball culture of Michigan.
Families traveled from communities across Southwest Michigan to watch the game played here.
Players grew up dreaming of stepping onto this field. Teams proudly represented not just a city, but an entire region.
Calling Battle Creek the Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball is not a marketing slogan. It is recognition of what has already been true for generations.
“This ballpark is sacred ground,” Miles said. “When you walk into Bailey Park, you feel the history. Our responsibility is to protect that legacy while building something that honors it and carries it forward.”
A Natural Evolution in Year Five
When the Battle Jacks rebranded in 2021, the team’s original tagline, Fans Best Friend, captured the warmth, accessibility, and family-first spirit that defined the franchise’s early years.
That identity will continue to serve a meaningful purpose within the organization.
“That foundation mattered,” said General Manager Sam Connell. “As a young organization, that identity helped us build trust and connection. It reflected who we were at that moment.”
Now entering the fifth season, the organization has grown, expectations have grown, and the role the team plays in the community and across the region has grown as well.
