A heartfelt, folky love song about a partner who brings out the best in their person, like a curator saves a faded painting.

You repair all that you touch
You already have saved so much

You restore the oil I’m made of
You’re the curator
I need your love

You see through how bad I seem
You give life back to my dream

You’re the keeper when push comes to shove
You’re the curator
I need your love

The care you give is so high
Colors dull but you bring them back to life

You restore the oil I’m made of
You’re the curator
I need your love

You’re the keeper when push comes to shove
You’re the curator
I need your love

Curator

The soundtrack to a midnight drive, chasing the rising moon. Study and protect what you care about. Give in to your interests and curiosities. "My Moon" is about protecting and watching over who and what we love.

Come on let’s get to some water
I know you’re somebody’s daughter
We all have a dark side
We all need our shadows to hide

Sometimes you’re pink
Sometimes you’re blue 
No matter what color you are 
I’m looking out for you 

My moon 
I’m looking out for you
My moon 

Where do you go when you disappear
When you’re gone do you know I’m still right here
I guess we all have a dark side
We all need our shadows to hide

Sometimes you’re pink
Sometimes you’re blue 
No matter what color you are 
I’m looking out for you 

My moon 
I’m looking out for you
My moon 
I’m looking out for you 
My moon

Second Chances

Climbing the paths of Cinque Terre in Italy. Wading in the Ligurian Sea. Celebrating with wine and anchovy pizza at the end surrounded by divine paradise. “Vernazza” is about pushing yourself to take the tough journeys, to witness the beauty along the way and to celebrate each victory.

Lyrics:

Let’s go back to where the scene
Is cliffs covered with olive trees 
And the color of the lido is aqua green
We’ll dip our toes in and watch the kids swim
Listen as the waves roll in
Lapping up against the boats floating

We’ll wonder how we made the climb
We reached Vernazza just in time
We’ll think to leave then ask ourselves why
Don’t we deserve this

Anchovies then gelato
Your swollen feet my sun kissed nose
The salt and sweet completes the ebb and flow
We’ll finish off with red and white
I’ll drink until my throat is dry
In the shade of the baldacchino

We’ll wonder how we made the climb
We reached Vernazza just in time
We’ll think to leave then ask ourselves why
Don’t we deserve this

Beggars can’t be choosers
But we’re never the losers
We’ve won more than once upon a time
Block out all the bruisers
And cut off all the users
No one owns divine paradise

Vernazza

“Big Finish” is a song about never giving up. It’s a song about family and the influence they have on us. We all make our choices and we all make mistakes, but what matters is how we get up and finish the race. It’s not too late to follow through. In the wise words of my father, “Big finish. Make sure you finish strong.”

Lyrics: 

My father told me something I never forgot
And he tells me every time I play his favorite song
He says man you can mess up a lot
He says make sure you finish strong

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

My brother told me something I forget
And I keep trying to remember just the end
It went something about liquor and sweat
It said it’s your time and money to spend

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

My mother doesn’t have to say anything at all
One look from her and I am a stream
Laughing over rocks in the mud of fall
Drinking the light of the sunshine beam

Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong

Oh Big big finish
Make sure you finish strong
Yeah make sure you finish strong

Big Finish

"Today Tomorrow" is a folk song about time, contrast, balance and the merry go round of life.

Lyrics: 

Today was dirt 
Tomorrow will be sky
Today was flooded 
Tomorrow will be dry

Today was basement 
Tomorrow will be roof
Today was maybe
Tomorrow will be proof

Today was hurt
Tomorrow will be heal
Today was dreaming
Tomorrow will be real
 
Aren’t we all on one big merry go round
What was up the next day will be down
Isn’t it true what goes comes around
And what goes up must come down

Today was frightened
Tomorrow will be brave
Today was wasted
Tomorrow will be saved

Today was heart
Tomorrow will be head
Today was hungry
Tomorrow will be fed

Today was salt
Tomorrow will be sea
Today was you
Tomorrow will be me

Aren’t we all on one big merry go round
What was up the next day will be down
Isn’t it true what goes comes around
And what goes up must come down

Lyrics: 

She says "Wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes 'round the yard

She says, "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes 'round the yard

Naked as We Came

Lyrics: 
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
And I’m never coming down again
Still growing out of my old skin
But I’m never ever going back in

Everything I thought that I knew
Is rolling over like a stone
Uncovering the hidden view
That I’ve never seen or been shown

So now I look up

I’m higher than I’ve ever been
And I’m never coming down again
Still growing out of my old skin
But I’m never ever going back in

Climbing up above the trees
To see the stone walls and the range
Then I’m looking back at me
To recognize how my eyes change

So now I stand up
Now I stand up

I’m higher than I’ve ever been
And I’m never coming down again
Still growing out of my old skin
But I’m never ever going back in

I’m higher than I’ve ever been
And I’m never coming down again
Still growing out of my old skin
But I’m never ever going back in

I’m never going back 
I’m never going back

Lyrics: 
There’s something I gotta say
I’m searching for it in my chest
My head keeps getting in the way
Let’s say what we mean and leave the rest

You don’t have to lie
Look me straight in the eye

Is this goodbye
Is it just another night
You don’t have to lie
Will you stay till daylight
Stay till daylight

If this really is the end
What would you have me do
In these moments on the bed
Tell me something true

I won’t tell a lie
I love you with all my life

This is goodbye
It isn’t just another night
No time left to lie
I love you with all my life
I can’t stay till daylight
I can’t stay till daylight
