about

This is the first track of a modern Lo-Fi experiment called (MEMO)RIES. So, the project will go a little something like this...

1. A memory
2. My iPhone (including the recording of the song and creation of the artwork)
3. One voice
4. One instrument (there might be a few different ones as we go)
5. One take recording (a voice "MEMO")
6. One song a month (7 months)

Please feel free to interact and ask questions on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!

Thank you for your support,

lyrics

We were not best friends at the start
I was holy mess
You were a broken heart
I tried to fix you with Jesus
But you were Jesus to me
You broke my black and white
And brought to my knees

We were young and dumb that fateful spring
I tried to stay your friend
You tried to clip love’s wings
You said give me some space
I said give me all the pain
I fell in love with an eagle
And you flew away

My ain’t that funny how
We missed each other so
How we found each other sometimes
And let each other go
My ain’t that funny how
We could not run away
Distance was like gravity
That pulled us face to face

No, we were not best friends at the start
But we cleaned up my mess
And we healed your broken heart
We’ve learned a lot from Jesus
To get the hell out the way
That’s why we’re still together
That’s why we’re here today
That’s why we’re still together
That’s why we’re here today
