Home is whatever you make of it! 
This song is about the pure feeling of a home or feeling at home, you're comfortable in your own skin. It's not necessarily always a place, but the people you surround yourself with, and no matter where you are, when you're together you are home, or you feel at home.

Home (The Pagan Place Podcast) On air performance (Joshua Smids/The Shadows Of)

Live on-air acoustic performance of my track off The Shadows Of Volume One (Past Tense) 
Recorded live in the studio by Kalen Capson for The Pagan Place Podcast 
This track is called "Dance Of A Gypsy"
 Is about a feeling of freedom or wishing to be free as the gypsies do. By the end, I hope it'll have you feeling free. At least I hope so anyway. This piece I give credit to my friends who truly showed me all kinds of freedom. From moving your feet to dancing, to life experience's I didn't fully realize existed. This piece is for me about self-discoveries I have uncovered deep within myself to find the light of day, to truly be free, be my true self. As should you discover your true self. I still am discovering more every day and I hope to learn more about who I am from now on and for the rest of my life.

Dance Of A Gypsy (The Pagan Place Podcast) live acoustic version

Live on-air acoustic performance of my track off The Shadows Of Volume One (Past Tense) 
2 Feet & A Heartbeat
recorded live in the studio by Kalen Capson for The Pagan Place Podcast
Two Feet & A Heartbeat 
This track was originally called "On This Dark NIght", but after exploring it more I felt like it was a journey to find myself and the name was sparked by something my friend Jasmine said on new years eve/new years countdown at The PDU. She stated in a conversation we had "sometimes all you need is two feet & and a heartbeat" and it just stuck. Thanks for the inspiration! And she was right. Throughout our lives, we are guided by two things, and these things carry us throughout our entire lives the moment we are born into this world these things are first our beating heart, and our two feet we walk upon.
