Forward is a song I wrote, performed and produced myself. It is inspired by the "hero's journey" by Joseph Campbell. While writing I imagined a scene from an imaginary animated movie where the hero just experienced rock bottom but now was finding the strength to overcome the obstacles ahead and become her true self.

Forward

Brand new day is a song I wrote about feeling overwhelm in your life; about how sometimes it is best to just find a good place, sit and wait for a new day.

Brand New Day

Verse 1
Remember the old spot
We found when we were young
I can still hear the songs that we sung
Oh I know we were just kids then
But I miss those summer days
Before we got lost in our own ways

Pre
Oh I know you build a good life, at least as good as mine
But for you I’d leave it behind

Chorus
Come on down to the river
Just beyond the willow tree
Lets find out what we can be
Back to the start of our own story
Lets see where it may lead
Come on down to the river with me

Verse 2
Every Sunday after service
I sneak away to our old place
All this time and I still remember your face
Never think I’m gonna see ya
But God I hope I do
Till then I’ll wait here for you

Pre
Oh I know you build a good life, at least as good as mine
But for you I’d leave it behind

Chorus
Come on down to the river
Just beyond the willow tree
Lets find out what we can be
Back to the start of our own story
Lets see where it may lead
Come on down to the river with me
