about
Back to the Start is probably my most personal album to-date, as it deals with a great love and loss I went thru from 2008 to 2009. This album is a catharsis of sorts to that experience and I also feel it's some of my finest songwriting and production thus far.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Track Name: Back to the Start
"Back to the Start"

I feel so open
I feel that I've finally woken
But this is not what I imagined
This is not how I would have planned it
When all the words I say push you further away

We can't go back to the start
I hope it won't break your heart
We can't go back to the start
'Cause this love is falling apart

What were you hoping
It seems the scars of this love are breaking open
This is not what we imagined
When parting ways is the only way to be happy
'Cause all the words we say push us further into pain

We can't go back to the start
I hope it won't break your heart
We can't go back to the start
'Cause this love is tearing us apart

We can't go back to the start
We can't go back to the start
We can't go back to the start
Track Name: I Said Goodbye
"I Said Goodbye"

There was a time when I felt no sorrow
A time in life when I was content
But now this time has left me oh so hollow
I try so hard to forget the day that…

I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love I'd tried to find
I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love of my life

There was a time when I felt such sorrow
A time in life with no content
But I found a voice in the wallow
It said I should live and not repent the day that...

I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love I'd tried to find
I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love of my life

A vision came to me while sleeping
It showed a great love and a loss
Although my heart it felt like weeping
I understood the cost, one day…

I'd say goodbye to the love of my life
I'd say goodbye to the one I'd tried to find
I'd say goodbye to the time that we'd share
I'd say goodbye but you know I'll always care

I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love I'd tried to find
I said goodbye to sweet caroline
I said goodbye to the love of my life
Track Name: Free
"Free"

Well you can hear it coming from a mile away
You can feel it running straight thru your veins

It doesn't take long, it comes on strong
It fills your head up, it makes you think of
That woman, that time, that place
All of these memories you can't escape
Free, you wanna be so free

Now you can see the damage festering like an open wound
You can taste the sorrow dripping off this rusty spoon

It doesn't take long, it comes on strong
It fills your head up, it makes you think of
That woman, that time, that place
All of these memories you can't escape
Free, you wanna be so free

Now you can hear it coming from a mile away
But you can't stop it from crushing you like a freight train

It doesn't take long, it comes on strong
It fills your head up, it makes you think of
That woman, that time, that place
All of these memories you can't escape
Free, you wanna be so free
Free, you wanna be so free
Track Name: Desperado's Return
"Desperado's Return"

It's taking a toll on me
What's taken a hold of me
My body aches for you

And so this cowboy wanders out in the world
Every sunset reminds him of her
It's taking its toll on me

She says he's not fit for a home
But he sure fits for being alone

A desperado has returned
To the land that gave him birth
A desperado has returned
A desperado has returned

It's taking a toll on me
What's taken a hold of me
I'm not who I used to be

And so this cowboy stumbles out in the world
Every sunset reminds him of her
It's taking its toll on me

She says he's not fit for a home
But he sure fits for being alone

A desperado has returned
To the land that gave him birth
A desperado has returned
A desperado has returned

So get your six shooter
Let's go for a ride
Maybe we won't find much
But we'll find a little quiet
So get your six shooter
Let's head for the sun
Pull the hammer back
Careful now or you'll be done

A desperado has returned
To the land that gave him birth
A desperado has returned
A desperado has returned

A desperado has returned
To the land that gave him birth
A desperado has returned
A desperado has returned
Track Name: Beautiful Way
"Beautiful Way"

I live in a world I barely know
I live in a place that I call home
You live not so very far from me
You live in the same galaxy

If we could take just a little time honey
Stop workin' and worrying about the money
Then we would enjoy this beautiful day
If we could take just a little time brother
Stop fighting and killing one another
Then we would live a beautiful way

We live in an ever changing atmosphere
And I'm not trying to say that you have to change your gear
You live in a world of your own
But do you wanna live in fear and be all alone

If we could take just a little time honey
Stop workin' and worrying about the money
Then we would enjoy this beautiful day
If we could take just a little time brother
Stop fighting and killing one another
Then we would live a beautiful way

If we could take just a little time honey
Stop workin' and worrying about the money
Then we would enjoy this beautiful day
If we could take just a little time brother
Stop fighting and killing one another
Then we would live a beautiful way

And we are on planet earth
And I know exactly what you're worth
Do you recognize the beauty of your life
Do you know everything's gonna be alright

If we could take just a little time honey
Stop workin' and worrying about the money
Then we would enjoy this beautiful day
If we could take just a little time brother
Stop fighting and killing one another
Then we would live a beautiful way
