    This album starts with the main character going to bed.
    Unable to sleep, he thinks about his life. What it all means, What he's lost, Who he's become, and Why he's still going.
    As he drifts off to sleep, he dreams of man's voice, who assures him that living is far better than death
    He bargains with him but eventually accepts the fact that life will forever be changed
    The last thing he needs to do
    Is get up
    Purchasable with gift card

Again 02:00
lyrics

Tried to find what was lost Again But I couldn’t guess the cost I looked in light Dug in dark for you But all I saw was empty blue Sometimes I don’t even know my own name Lost in the mirror Might disappear again Don’t let me know I just want to know Help me find my way back home again Took some time to reminisce Of all the memories mostly missed The case has gone cold and though I’ve been told Who I was I can’t forget Please don’t let me go I just want to know Help me find my way back home Again

Marvin's Waltz 02:00
lyrics
buy track
You see I guess I have gone from the depths of somewhat degradation to… I’ve probably risen to the heights of spirituality in some cases also I felt nearly there (spiritually) sometimes, and I’ve felt like the gates of hell were open for me at other times and I don’t imagine an artist can be a good artist unless he’s experienced something similar to that I just want to be an artist. I hate those human normal feels. I like the feelings I have as an artist. When I’m out in the woods and the rain or sitting by myself in the sun, having God shine on me. I like that calling much better I’m a survivor I think, and I am… I feel I’m as good as anybody One can never be a fine artist if one hasn’t live If one hasn’t lived

Give me reason I will stay Hand to hold on For today Maybe Minute or Late Little color fade to gray From now on Excuse though we made and memories She thought you saved They're going away

Get out of bed Get out of bed for me For me Get out of bed Get out of bed for me For me the Sun's shining through for you for you What'll you do? Get out of bed Get out of bed For me For me One step more and your there The start of a new day I wanted to stay for one more day I wanted to stay for one more Get out of bed Get out of bed for me Bumbabumbumpadabumpabumpbumpada X 5000

about

Kiwi was written and recorded in several different states during a wild year that left me wandering around the country. The songs came to me gradually. I had a mental block for a while and didn’t quite know how to communicate how I felt. For a couple of years, I would only write half songs and scrap them because they were too short. I realized I just needed to get my thoughts out and not care how long the songs turned out to be. I started this journey on May 1st, 2020, and I’m glad I was finally able to finish it. Kiwi was mostly written by me with the addition of Holly Welch’s song "Again". I couldn’t have created this project without the help and support of so many wonderful people. Its short, like 10 minutes, nothing special, but I’m glad I was able to get it out. I hope you give it a listen.
