Artist picture
Guitar and piano driven rock enriched by soothing vocal harmonies that will rip you heart out, smash it on the ground, tear it into pieces and then put it back
catalog only is the Detroit music you never hear about. It's not the raucous noise from the garage or the beats from the inner city. It's Detroit music from the basement. It's the music that's made when you've been trapped inside for 5 long winter months. While outside it's gray snow and gray skies you stay inside and you play, you play and you write. You write songs that aren't written for commercial appeal or indie acceptance. You write something that matters, songs for emotion, songs to stay warm.

Story behind the song
This songs lyrics touch on several events in my life, and certain tendencies that I have, that are not necessarily healthy for me. To be brief, my mother passed away in 2001 and it's about struggling to overcome or deal with the grief that followed, and embracing the people who are there to support me, or my roots as the song says. And the mantra at the end, "Does this make it better", to me, it has two different purposes. The first being a question to those around me, is what I'm doing making things better for you, and a question to myself, is all the worrying, all the obsessing, and all the anxiety I can't let go, does this make it better? But of course, the song is to you, what it is to you, nothing more or less.
Lyrics
I woke up today and the gray was gone. So I looked up the sun to see where she'd been I took down the blinds that had darkend my room You took my hand, said come with me. Some trees will bend and others break But my roots are strong and I'm grounded One lapse of faith was all I needed To push out the webs of despair Someday I will learn to shine Someday I will learn to fly If you could see the way I fear And how I've come so far If you fear the way I fear And how I've flown so far Remember someday, I will learn Shock to my system These veins are blisted By the pulse you push through me My heartstrings are tangled For me this is painful Someday I hope you'll see Does this make it better.
