Cold

Kennst du den Tiger, wie er tanzt in Berlin 
Den tanzenden Tiger, er will nicht traurig sein 

Tiger und La Belle

The Truth Behind the Blues and the Crossroads Deal is an album that dives deep into the soul of the blues, where dusty roads stretch endlessly, whiskey-soaked nights linger, and every note tells a story of struggle, redemption, and mystery. Inspired by the legendary tales of bluesmen who sought more than just fame, this collection captures the haunting melodies and raw emotion of the genre’s golden era.

The Hounds Keep Coming

One of my fave trad folk songs. So cool! Recorded in one take with my good friend Chris Hales on lead guitar. I added some percussion and banjo later to fill out the sound a bit.

ROLL ON BABE

Thorn

Act I: The Call & The Walk marks the beginning of the journey in The Burden & The Fire saga. Blending Celtic folk melodies, acoustic textures, and a melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere, this EP captures the emotional weight of leaving home, facing the unknown, and carrying a burden far greater than oneself. Perfect for listeners who appreciate cinematic storytelling.

2. Burden of Gold

A soft hymn for those who have dared to believe.

"If We Are Wrong (The Radiant Mistake)" is not a lament—it is a celebration of loving despite uncertainty. A song for those who would choose resonance over silence, every time.

We would rather be wrong with love than right without song.

====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was
