This lyric is about how most of us, or all of us, how we love or hate some love songs, as it reminds us of happy or sad times in our lives, which we all can relate to. This lyric is called: crazy love song.

This is the story of a brother and sister running for a new life in a new place and leaving behind them a broken home. The story swings back and forth between the reality of their getaway as an almost fairytale, and the reality of the two of them leaving on a train. A song of hope and the human experience through a Mark Twain-type narrative.

This lyric is about a man in a bar who is trying to wind-up another man, because he has takes a shine to his wife.

This lyric is about a couple who are working hard, having a good life, they lose their good jobs with a baby on the way, and the struggles to try and get back to their good life.

This is a love song, but with with monsters. The world looks different, darker even after you have your first child. This song is a conversation between a mother and father in the form of an epic as they make plans to face a world where the push and pull of fight or flight is a part of a journey toward the hope of stability and home. I wrote this song after a friend of mine first introduced me to the idea of there being a "Wildfire Season" in the western US. A time when people readied themselves and planned in case they needed to evacuate, not certain if they would lose everything. I hope you can see yourself in here somewhere. The song is optimistic but avoids drawing any final conclusions.
