Can A Ghost Grow Older

This piano piece acts as a prelude to "Safe Town," a song found on the Grown from Plants EP. The prelude itself was not included on that album however and remained unreleased until the re-release of the Acoustic Collection (originally available as It's All in the Wood in 2013).

Christine's Song/Safe Town Prelude

Three months ago, the world lost one of the most amazing people I have ever known: my big brother Mike. I was not able to properly say goodbye to him before his passing. This is the closest I will ever get to doing so. Rest easy brother. - Tyler

On The Other Side

It is perhaps disingenuous to call "Belong" a new song. The best description for this would be a reimagining. The original demo was recorded all the way back in 2007: 17 years ago which is crazy to think about! While that recording is representative of who I was as an artist then -- a developing musician who was lacking a lot of fundamentals (my voice was godawful here) -- It truly is a challenge to listen to this old track and not wince a little as that ever-present air of cringe permeates my being.

Fast-forward to a month ago: My mental and emotional journeys are finally starting to tread upward. The experience of recording "On the Other Side" allowed me to process and release these thoughts and feelings that had been crippling me since my brother's passing in February -- an experience made easier by the support of my band mate and dear friend Willie as well as the expertise of the absolutely wonderful Mark Alexander who helped bring the song to life with his incredible production and additional instrumentation. When the day came that I received the final master of that song, I made a promise to Mark and to myself that I would work with him again sooner rather than later.

This brings me to "Belong." With 17 more years of musical and life experience behind me, I knew exactly what I wanted this song to be this time around. I approached Mark with my ideas and once again -- his knack for production and composition cannot be understated -- he delivered! His wife Gina even provided her beautiful voice for backing vocals which was something I very much wanted as I greatly admire her talents.
