about
You may have heard me say this before, but when I'm living through the hardest and most beautiful moments in life I tend to write music. Personally, 2020 marked the end of over a decade of constant travel and life on the road. My life, like so many others, was turned upside down. I hesitate to think of any piece of the past year as a "silver-lining" because the sheer loss of life towers over everything else. What I will say is that this year forced me to slow down and ask myself questions that matter. As we approached the end of the year I ended up writing words that I needed to hear to enter into 2021 with an open heart and eyes looking ahead. Those words became this song - Our Year.
It's my personal anthem as I'm moving into this new year. If the past twelve months have taught me anything, it's how fragile life as we know it can be. With that in mind, I'm trying to make every hour, day, month, and year count. I hope joy finds you easy and often. I hope this song brings you even a small sense that this year may have something new in store for us all.
lyrics
I feel like I’ve been through a war
Breaking through the surf fighting for the shore
I’m battle-torn and tested and wasted
Searching for a glory I still haven’t tasted
But I see light at the end of the tunnel
We might know an end to the struggle
I’ll fight with my marrow and muscle
I think this might be
Our year
So here’s to the bend but we never break
Cheers to the growing along the way
We walked through the fire and won the day
We’re still here
And it’s our year
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh X2
Raise a toast to the heroes and what they gave
Here’s to the debts that we can’t repay
Remember the loves lost along the way
But we’re still here
And it’s our year
We laid flowers on too many graves
6 feet under and 6 feet away
Some turned to science and some tried to pray
Sometimes the answers are one and the same
But I see light at the end of the tunnel
We might know an end to the struggle
I’ll fight with my marrow and muscle
I think this might be
Our year
So here’s to the bend but we never break
Cheers to the growing along the way
We walked through the fire and won the day
We’re still here
And it’s our year
Raise a toast to the heroes and what they gave
Here’s to the debts that we can’t repay
Remember the loves lost along the way
But we’re still here
And it’s our year
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh X2
They say hindsight is 2020 but I’m not looking behind me anyMORE
Our year
So here’s to the bend but we never break
Cheers to the growing along the way
We walked through the fire and won the day
We’re still here
And it’s our year
Raise a toast to the heroes and what they gave
Here’s to the debts that we can’t repay
Remember the loves lost along the way
But we’re still here
And it’s our year
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh oh X2
