I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.

Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

Story behind the song

The rough days of early marriage can yield beautiful fruit if we hang in there...

Lyrics

Why do you still put up with me?
Why don't you just give up like everybody else?
And just put me on the shelf?
And just leave me to myself?

I know I always hurt you so
I push you to the limit 
Til the pain the pain begins to show
And the tears begin to flow
Don't I make you want to go?

But you still love me
When I'm ugly
Like the Father up above me
Please don't leave me
'Cause I need you so

Our past has far away been cast
The death that our Lord Jesus suffered
Set us free at last
Although death once held us fast
All the old things they have passed

Someday the hurt will go away
You'll see a harvest blooming 
For the price you had to pay
But until that blessed day
Will you stay with me, I pray?

You still love me
When I'm ugly
Like the Father up above me
Please don't leave me
'Cause I love you so
