[Verse 1]
Working, waiting, wasting time
Wanting what I cannot find
Water flowing to the sea
Seasons spinning endlessly
Same sun rising every day
Same stars fading far away

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn just to begin

[Verse 2]
Building towers made of sand
Counting coins in trembling hands
Time is turning, turning still
Like a wheel against my will
Everything I try to keep
Slips away while I sleep

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin

[Bridge]
Stop - breathe - see
What's right in front of me
Stop - breathe - be
The truth has set me free
Stop - breathe - Heal
Finally I can feel
Stop reveal
What's simple can be real


[Final Verse]
Now I watch the birds in flight
Feel the breeze and hold it tight
See the flowers break and bend
As the morning starts again
In the simple, in the small
Find the meaning of it all

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace that lives within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
Now I know how to begin

Chasing the Wind

I wrote, arranged, produced, mixed, and performed Through it All, with backing vocals from my friend Brian Matteson, it's an anthem of resilience—soaring melodies, emotional depth, and a message of hope. For anyone facing storms, this is a reminder to rise, push forward, and never give up.

[Verse 1]

Lost and alone
Dark closes in
Hides the light from me
Fear weighs me down
Captures my thoughts
Sets my demons free

[Pre-Chorus]

As the rain is pouring down
I hear you cry my name
As I stumble at the edge
You pull me back again

[Chorus]

Through my fear and doubt
You could have cast me out
But thorough it all
You're right beside me
Here in this pouring rain
I'll stand
'cause my time is in your hands
thorough it all
You're right beside me

[Verse 2]

Here in the night
You search for me
as I turn away
Still reaching out
Calling me home
as you light way

[Pre-Chorus]

As the light comes rushing in
I rise to see your face
Darkness starts to fall away
As you pull me from this place

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Safe in your arms
You are my strength
You are my everything
Home, Finally home
No longer lost
You are the song I sing

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus}

[1st Verse]

Left behind all illusions that I had in mind
In their place, a trace of who I used to be
This is not what I had planned
I am not who I appear to be.
Moving on, start my life today

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[2nd Verse]

Buried deep inside of me still hides a child
Searching for my way back home
Rip away this empty shell
Step outside this self-made hell
Carry on another day

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[Bridge]

No more masks to hide the fear within
My patience for this game is growing thin
After all I see the truth

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[Bridge]

No more masks to hide the fear within
My patience for this game is growing thin
After all I see the truth

[Outro]

My sacrifice was carried out to please you
My sacrifice was carried out for you

My Sacrifice

As a singer/songwriter, I channel a wide spectrum of rock and metal influences to create music that’s both emotionally evocative and technically precise. My sound is shaped by the legendary stylings of Kiss, the progressive intricacy of Queensryche and Dream Theater, the melodic hooks of Foreigner and Def Leppard, the theatrical edge of Styx, and the raw power of Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold.

Driven by a passion for storytelling through music, my lyrics dive deep into personal and universal themes, aiming to resonate with listeners on a visceral level. Whether it’s a soaring chorus or a tightly wound riff, every element of my music is crafted to deliver energy, emotion, and impact. It's rock with heart, precision, and a heavy dose of adrenaline.
