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
Inspired by a friend of mine, and the simple, obvious wisdom she bestowed on me. If we worry about the nonexistent, we can never live a fulfilling life.
Lyrics
I'm storming castles in Normandy I'll be home to tell the stories soon I just hope these letters will suffice Somewhere beyond the place we came from Is the place we all belong Where we leave the past behind us And forget everything we've gotten wrong You've taken me there so many times Can you take me there again? Save me from these European skies And the stalemate that I'm in CHORUS: I'm storming castles in Normandy To give the needless impossible a try But I've been on the battlefield far too long I'm storming castles in Normandy Bring me back before I'm too far gone Let me know I'm always welcome home Heaven called us beautiful But sometimes I just can't believe Everything I ever told you Seemed like it would make you want to leave We're all called to be hopeful But I'm sorry, that's not how I feel And you, you painted the obvious You became my proof that God is real CHORUS If it hadn't been for your countless intrusions And your will to see past my illusions I swear I might have died while I was Storming castles in Normandy All these hollow endeavors of the mind CHORUS Finding God And finding life Should be my only goal
