simplicity

I am obviously a music guy so this message if for those of us who are inspired to the core by music.

I used to love to pretend on the playground that I was a superhero or a cowboy or something other that myself. I loved just playing by myself for hours. I was able to explore the deepest parts of my imagination and find what was hiding back there. I miss that. I could act like a complete fool when I was a kid and it was cute. Now if I act like a complete fool I’ve lost my mind (I’m a firm believer in losing your mind from time to time, it is only then that you can really find it again).

Now I love to explore my imagination in a more sophisticated way…with music. I love to write and I love to listen to everything I can get my hands on. I connect with artist who say exactly what I have been thinking for the longest time but I couldn’t bring myself to say. I love metaphors, word pictures, and frustrated agony. What a beautiful world God has given us that we can paint over and over agian to inspire and still never really get it right…And start over again. I wanted to take this opportunity to give you some new music to listen to if you are like me and you are hungry for new music all the time.
