so this is love, miraculous design

now that I’ve seen splendor 

and I’ve tasted the divine

kindness, goodness and the rest

I have been blessed

I have everything I need

cause this is love

So this is love devastation at it’s best

delicious torture

there’s a war inside my chest

I am torn where I just stitched

My willing world is flipped

cause this is love

Always 

I am thinking of you

you have occupied my mind

give you 

all things in store, in sight

you inherited my life

cause this is love

At a fans request…Here is a demo of a song that I recorded as I was writing it. Quite rudimentary but it’s the only recording I have and without a piano there’s no satisfactory way to post a vid to youtube. Alas you get to - hear - inside my process. For this song it was a bit of a stream of conscious, confession of love. 

I wrote this song in Brooklyn a while back with the incredible Eric Krasno and Adam Deitch AKA Fyre Dept. Look em up they are insane creatives. It started as a beat they put together and I wrote lyrics over then we played with melodies and stacked up the background vocals. I was influenced by some laid back styling I’ve heard from Prince, Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu and Sade. 

I am shaken by the wake in which I’m standing In the shadows of the great ones shouting madly voices holyand they hold me no they haunt me in my hollows in these valleys permeated im polluted evolution overtaking firmly rooted
in the ground that i call truthanother tree that bears new fruitnothin stays where I first put iti never had control so i accept the unseen handthat offers me the grace that somehow crowns my headthrows rays where it was shady
every little soul must shine(every little soul must shine must shine)even broken ones seem to catch lightwe are nothingif not mightyso much more than human
no mistake when we are given tiny secrets giant keysunlock the shackles of our past and now our prison is the mystery of our future so we look to our reflection deeply searching humiliate that coward into braveryhold the child till they heal
who will i become i hope once was enough for meto learn those lessons gain the kingdomi don’t want to see those things again but i will and sidestep apprehensionquestion intent protect myselfcause who else will
every little soul must shineeven broken ones seem to catch lightwe are nothingif not mightyso much more than human
we move forward to move onwe move forward to move onand on and on
