Stories & Songs...

These Streets
I have been a bunch of places...none of them have I have called home...this is the introduction to my heart...its really about going home, searching for home...something I have always seemed to feel distant from...Each place in this song is a true story for me. I have been to each one...and this is what I walked away from each place thinking...

Stoplights & Street Signs
I grew up in Woodbine, IA...small town is what I know...this city life is a foreign country, even though I have been here for 10 years...still seems cold and confusing...I sit at stop lights for a ridiculous amount of time each time i try to drive anywhere and it makes no sense...there is too much going on around here and I really want to get out to where its quiet...and not so stressed out...everyone here is grouchy...and now I know why...

Rollercoaster
up and down...will it ever stop...this songs describes riding a rollercoaster...simple...but it is really describing a relationship...I won't tell you which one...maybe it applies to a relationship you are having and I wouldn't want to spoil it with my own personal details...

Rearview
ah...another song about home...but this is actually about Woodbine...with a few details...and why is home always behind me...why can't I ever just stay...hmmm...This is really about leaving my moms house after only being there a few hours and realizing I won't be back for a while...I hate this feeling...

One Side or the Other
war, brutal war...that is what has taken place since the "phone call" that started this spiral...when my parents divorced I was 27...should have been able to deal with it right? hmmm...not so much...devastation...and the battle between my siblings that I have been watching(and joining in occasionally) is raging and for some reason still is...pick a side or stand in the middle and get hit from both sides...
