Is there more in this life that I should accomplish?
Artist picture
Acoustic guitar-based music inspired by the ups and downs of life experience.
I've been playing guitar and singing for most of my life. The songs that I write draw from life experience, which makes each of them very special to me since they bring back memories of powerful events and feelings. I often call upon a couple of my buds to help add to my originals. You'll hear Billy on the second guitar and Steve on drums/percussion throughout the originals on this page. Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you enjoy my music.

Story behind the song

Lyrics
VERSE 1: there are such great things that I want to do but time eludes and life spins by like a carousel and I'm on the side not satisfied VERSE 2: sometimes the weight of this life suffocates it devastates and I know all too well how a spectator feels a spoke in the wheel CHORUS: and there's a feeling that comes over me again and again like I can't win and the ceiling comes crashing down on me and then it ends VERSE 3: every once in a while the numbness fades and life invades perhaps my future has been assigned and I'm just along for the ride OUTRO: and the puddle outside my window in the street it looks like a hole in the earth sometimes I wish it was
