Lyrics:
.
When you need me - far away
Say my name I'll be there today
I hope you know it's with Gods I play
Open your eyes it's a blissful game
. 
(oh)
.
Time together, time we share
Nothing to do but be aware
Hope you see how much I care
Open you eyes and take me there. 
. 
(oh)
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air! 
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air!
.

Blissful Game (2023)

Kill her with kindness
I hope she can see
Through her blind eyes
The real live me.

Kill Her With Kindness

Always an incredible blast to work with the great @texmex-shaman !

On our collabs I'll often come up with an idea and send to him, but on this one he sent me an idea that was already pretty well developed and I just added a few analogue synth touches. Really like the flow and vibe he constructed on here, it was great fun to work with.

Just Do It!  (Instrumental, Original)

Safe Distance (2018) Anthology CD2 Track 04

A feel-good, genre-blending journey through the sounds of Southern rock, country, and folk. It's an eclectic mix that feels like a live jam session, with intricate guitar work, layered harmonies, and a laid-back, summery vibe. The songs are rich with storytelling, painting vivid pictures of life, love, and the open road. From upbeat, celebratory anthems perfect for a bonfire, to heartfelt, reflective ballads that tug at the heartstrings, the album maintains a consistent mood of laid-back authenticity. It's music that's both polished and raw, a perfect soundtrack for a long drive, a day at the beach, or just kicking back with friends.

It'll all be OK


Thirteen days behind me...
thirteen days gone by...
Time just keeps on movin...
like clouds across the sky...
Life’s got its rhythm... 
seasons know their stride...
Every day’s a blessing...
every turn a ride...


I get by every day... 
leanin on faith and trust...
Knowin there’s a bigger plan...
the good Lord’s workin up...
Everything has a purpose...
everything’s in time...
And tomorrow brings another chance... 
to shine...


Sunrise on the hillside... 
new light into my soul...
Every mile I travel...
takes me closer to my goal...
Dreams keep on growin... 
like fields in July...
Every door that opens is another chance to fly...


I get by every day... 
leanin on faith and trust...
Knowin there’s a bigger plan... 
the good Lord’s workin up...
Everything has a purpose... 
everything’s in time...
And tomorrow brings another chance to shine...


Every sunset tells me... 
joy is on the way...
Every storm reminds me... 
blue skies never stray...
Hope keeps on singin...
brighter than the night...
Every step I’m takin leads me to the light..



I get by every day...
leanin on faith and trust...
Knowin there’s a bigger plan... 
the good Lord’s workin up...
Everything has a purpose...
everything’s in time...
And tomorrow brings another chance to shine...


Life keeps on movin... 
and I’ll keep ridin high...
With faith in my heart and the sun in the sky...


13 Days

Common Bridges is a collection of songs about the ties that hold us together — across generations, across struggles, across the places we call home. It’s an album built on honesty, grit, and hope, carrying the spirit of country, gospel, and soul into one powerful story.

From the barroom anthems of “Butte USA” and “Old Montana” to the mountain reflections of “Above the Clouds,” these songs honor the land and the people who shaped it. “The Old Soldier” tells of brotherhood, sacrifice, and survival, while “One Life to Hold” and “In Another Life” remind us to cherish joy, learn from regret, and keep moving forward. “Time to Give a Damn” is a gospel-soul rallying cry to reclaim compassion and common sense, while “Ain’t No Need” offers peace in knowing that bitterness and hate only hold us back.

With outlaw country swagger, gospel fire, and the honesty of mountain folk, Common Bridges is more than an album — it’s a journey across the divides of pain and pride toward the places where we still meet, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.
