This is a song I wrote inspired by my father, who passed away a year ago. I wrote this a few months after he passed. The way I wrapped my head around it finally was reaching the realization that this is simply the "natural order" of life. We love. We laugh. But mostly, we lose. We lose what we have and what we gain, and it's something that unifies us. As divided as we are in this world, we never seem to take the time to realize that we're all going through the same stuff. We're all at the mercy of the natural order. Country song from a male perspective.

There are countless love songs out there. Though this is more about a man who admits that he wants a certain thing from a woman. He doesn't mind all that talking and feeling and emotional stuff; just save it for tomorrow. He has other things on his mind tonight. We can all relate to that feeling. It's a relatively slow-paced song that's quintessential country.

This is definitely in the vein of a folk song. There's no chorus per se, just a guitar break between verses. But it's basically a message to people who aren't happy in their lives. Just imagine you were something else then, and see that everything you can think of being has its own environment and has its own existential questions of its being. The message isn't complex, and the song flows well. It has a little "Time in a Bottle" feel by Jim Croce, for reference. The "rose" reference is my personal favorite.

This is written from a female's perspective, a girl who's always wanted that fairy tale prince but ended up jaded and believing it wasn't possible. Then she does find the man of her dreams and speaks about him in a very poetic way, likening him to a hero, suggesting that every woman who's seeking love "needs a you."

This is strictly metaphorical. I do not endorse people stealing anything! That being said, I thought this was a very unique angle to take on a man who really desires a woman and wants to let her know that he's going to win her heart, even if he has to steal it. Very unique and catchy.
