Drift 02:19
The things we do The things we say The letters I wrote to you The letters I saved All drift away again They all drift away again If time stood still And you could change anything What would you do And what would your changes bring Would we drift away again Would we drift away again There is no time There is no time We wake up each day And each day's a brand new life Each morning we're born And each night we're bound to die And we drift away again And we drift away again

It Is Love 02:44
Everybody gather 'round Listen to the subtle sound We can't ignore what we all hear The sound that doesn't need an ear It's love - it's love - it is love Come now see the wondrous sight It's bright as day and dark as night You might just want to close your eyes To see this you need to blind It's love - it's love - it is love If you want to taste and feel Or breathe in deep the sweetest smell You'll find that there's a deeper sense One that five need to transcend It's love - it's love - it is love

Handle 02:14
Please don't say I told you so Cause those four words Might be the straw And I don't think I can handle them tonight You see through Those little lies I tell And I can tell You've had your fill And I don't think you can handle them tonight So this is how It all goes down tonight One last thing Before I leave What's left alone I alone will handle this tonight

Way to Be 03:26
Life doesn't add up for the living And it doesn't seem fair We keep on running But we're not getting anywhere And what are we pursuing And is it worth the price To buy up an illusion Of a fool's paradise And so I say Don't waste your time And I say Stop and see And I say Seek to find the best way to be So many people talking Are we just adding to the noise But what if we stopped listening Could there be a better choice Cause I know there is beauty And I know there is peace It's right there all around us And all we need is to open our eyes and to see So I say Don't waste your time And I say Stop and see And I say Seek to find the best way to be

about

The songs on this EP were mostly written when I first moved to Nashville in 2007. I'd just come back from spending a year in New Zealand and was a little lost - unsure where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. Listening to them now after all these years, I hear someone who was trying to write about deep things, but wasn't quite hitting those depths - I was trying though!

I was playing bass with a few bands and started making the open mic and writer's rounds, playing these songs and a few others that were a little more "country" but were mostly just terrible.

Out of all the songs I wrote and recorded during that time, these four remain ones I'm able to listen back to without cringing too hard - and if nothing else, they remind me of who I was and who I was trying to be.
