about

An optimistic folk tune about welcoming the changes and challenges of life. The last song I wrote before leaving Oregon to move to Nashville, TN. Ala Josh Ritter, Ray LaMontagne, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, Brett Dennen.

lyrics

I was thinking tomorrow, but I just might leave today
Because more and more, these city streets all seem to lead one way
And that scenery is constant- the landscapes are so plain-
Therefore, I welcome the change.

I welcome anything that is anything separate from where I stand.
I'll proudly brave this New World that exists outside of your hand.
I'll be a shadow to you Honey- I'll become the land
But don't be surprised if I'm hard to find (cause I'll know where I am)
I'll be changing.

I welcome the change.

I'm in love with the stars because I envy how they hang
As constant constellations in an ever changing space.
I've been alive for one instant and I can already feel me fade-
Unlike them, I've begun to blend like one color against the same
And that ain't me

So, I welcome the change.

My heart forgets the beat- it slows then rushes in
And it hangs on every single word that has ever crossed your lip.
It slows down to a standstill drunkard in the wind
And right in time with the downbeat, it catches on again.
