this song is a prayer of sorts.. a "coming to terms" with a well kept secret i had no plan on telling. the kind of secret that held so much power, you'd think the earth would shake if you told another soul ...

i write from a place where some of us go alone. when it's time for me to "check in" with myself.. i find me being pulled either to the piano or the guitar, to find out what im really feeling.. blanketing and hiding. music is both a skill and a gift, but all of us have the power to "check in".. unload and heal from it all. there's many different mediums out there.. and this happens to be one of mine. enjoy.

Story behind the song
.. it was a really interesting process.. in that it came together in litterally 10 minutes... EVERYTHING. i knew that my friend (who is actually bozz scaggs sound engineer) wanted to record something that day.. but i didnt have anything in mind.. thought id just walk in to the studio and make it up!!! on my way to the studio.. i stopped into a piano shoppe right down in civic center in san francisco. i walked up to the piano and this song came.. almost half of it written on my arms and hands due to no paper.. and then i wrote the rest outside on a park bench.. running my way into the studio saying "this is it.. this is what needs to be recorded today!!!"
Lyrics
brother gonna turn all my guns into birds cause in the winter of a frozen sun i kissed a girl and then she soon turned to red as if she'd never seen blue thought i was never looking back but i am sewn onto you no i wont tell mom if you dont tell God hold this tiny thread if that is all you can do brother gonna save all my strength and climb this tree gonna try to throw you a paper plane letter and hope it doesnt fly back to me cause the only time you think is a walk with the dog and the only time you cry is when you walk through the fog brother gonna turn all my thoughts into words and watch the winter fall into spring you know, that wouldnt hurt cause the only time you think is when you walk with the dog and the only time you cry is when you walk through the fog brother gonna turn all my guns into birds cause in the winter of a frozen sun i heard, you kissed a girl... -
