Inspired by artists like Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and Beck ... I started fiddling around with a microphone, acoustic guitar, and discovered how much I enjoy making personal music that reveals my deepest emotions. Creating music has become a therapeutic device for me as I capture a mood on my guitar and then start recording as I sing whatever comes to mind, allowing the melody and words to be "of the moment" and completely spontaneous. A writer by profession, I love the freedom of not putting the lyrics on paper and simply allowing my heart to talk and say whatever it feels without censoring. And the end result is the songs I've created and now look back on to discover more about myself based on what I say through improvisational singing.

Lyrics
Amen here we go again Running down hills backwards my friend Set to fail with no avail Set to sin I'm going to win When are you going to let me in I don't know where to begin Born of flesh That's my test Only when the world is falling Will I realize How fallible I am World die with me

In my hunger for new music I came across this great song. The intro with with very good guitars - the acoustic together with the soloing guitar is beautyful. And so its the song. The vocal deliverence is solid and very comfortable listening to. And the guitarsolo sounds great. All in all a very well written song!
