A simple non-religious gospel-style tune about about the struggle to love ourselves while loving each other.

"Love You, Too"

I know the mirror doesn't hold your favorite portrait
And your dreams, they’re touched with sadness, pain, and regret
Oh, but it hurts me so to see you sink yourself into this reverie of blue,
Maybe you could try to love you, too

I know sometimes it feels you worry rightly, 
And your heart's not an accessory you wear lightly
But if you have the kind of heart to find forgiveness for the funny things I do,
Maybe you can learn to love you, too

I know I'm bound to draw some words of pot & kettle
When you have seen me through so many darkest days.
Maybe each has a unique and precious mettle (/metal...)
And we just need to help each other count the ways

Oh, it’s hard sometimes to take the love we're given
And harder still to trust this world we live in
But I will swear to do my best to save a little bit of shelter here for you,
So maybe you can learn to love you, too

Oh, but it hurts me so to see you sink yourself into this reverie of blue,
Maybe you can love you too.

I hope that you can love you, too.

Urban Sprawl

Modernized cover of 80's Howard Jones tune, 'Things Can Only Get Better'

Produced by Roger Hewett, concept and vocals Kari Lynn Hewett.

As a song about risking the things we have to work for a better life, I've long heard this as a potential theme for social change as well as the personal kind.

Things Can Only Get Better (Howard Jones cover)

This is a demo I recently wrote for an upcoming project at Disney. I did not get the gig this time around, but I'm very proud of what I wrote and I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for listening!

"Let You Go" 
If I have to let you go
it's like letting go a lifeline. 
You're in my knuckles and my bones. 
You'll take me inside out. 

I don't think I want to know 
how to reckon with what's coming this time. 
I can't pick this up alone. 
You leave me inside out. 
You leave me inside out. 

Can't take this, 
knowing I'm about to fall apart without you 
I don't mean that metaphorically 
My heart is 
spilling from my chest 
You're leaving such a mess, 
and nothing's going to bring you back to me. 

So I have to let you go, 
and try to separate your pieces from mine. 
They all feel like they're my own. 
You leave me inside out 
You leave me inside out

Let You Go
