alternative acoustic
Acoustic alternative with heartfelt, intricate lyrics.
Right now it's just me...waiting on the rest of the band to emerge from the shadows of the Nashville skyline. This is my life set to music; pure, honest, and simple.

Story behind the song
This is just a fable-like story I made up that illustrates the sacrificial nature of true love.
Lyrics
In the land of Apathy There’s a pretty girl who waits for me I was standing there when she looked down From Kramer’s Wall at the edge of town I stayed ‘til all the rest were gone And my pretty girl, she stood alone She wouldn’t leave, I asked her why And this, my friends was her reply She said “Shadows run away from me They can’t stand in the light, you see But if they come I’ll fight them all While I’m standing up on Kramer’s Wall” What injustice had decreed The lonely life she had to lead? I pitied her, but didn’t stay And the road I followed passed away From that day on I had no rest My heart kept burning in my chest For I couldn’t stand my fatal choice And every night I heard her voice She said “If you are who I hope you are Then you can never run too far I will never let you fall I’ll be watching you from Kramer’s Wall” I realized I would rather be In chains with her than alone and free For she had shown the kind of love The greatest ones had been made of Her haunting words inside my head Brought back the me I thought was dead And so I took the higher call And stood with her on Kramer’s Wall I said “Everything will come undone The sky will fall and bring the sun But you and me are standing tall I'm here with you on Kramer’s Wall For nothing breaks a lover’s soul And nothing makes the young grow old Except the time that kills us all But there is no time on Kramer’s Wall No, I will never let you fall I'm here with you on Kramer's wall”
