about

“Rear View” a song about moving forward, taking leaps of faith, about courage & purpose. I wrote a lot of it while driving east across the country to relocate to New Orleans. 

The composition was inspired by my time studying with Bobby McFerrin & Zap Mama. Lyrics inspired by some teachings from Michael Beckwith.

lyrics

sunset in my rearview
moon rise in my eyes
tears fall to the desert
i water as i drive

what do you with your freedom
what do you do when you’re free
what do you with your freedom
what do you do
what do you do?

i turned my back on desolation
reject manifest destiny
broke the shell of a cocoon
turned my cheek towards the rivers weave

sunset in my rearview
moon rise in my eyes
expand against constriction
& butterfly

what do you with your freedom
what do you do when you’re free
what do you with your freedom
What do you do
what do you do?


desalinate the flow
there is no salt in this heart
no need for resentment
lesson of loving as an art

sunset in my rearview
moon rise in my eyes
tears fall to the desert
i water as i drive

what do you with your freedom
what do you do
what do you do when you’re free
what do you do with eternity
what do you with your freedom
what do you do
what do you do?

what do you with your freedom
what do you do when you’re free
what do you with your freedom
What do you do
what do you do?
