Songbird Original Sessions #Season 2 - Song 8 ‘G Songbird Original Sessions #Season 2 - Song 8 ‘Good Grief’ Grief. When you’re in it, you’re in it. I wrote this when I was in the deepest part of the forest. I’ve always loved the lyrics in this song, as they were true to how my soul was processing, however I’ve been toying around with making the vibe upbeat while the message maintains its weight. This musical oxymoron is such a catharsis of accepting and embracing grief and baring the life lessons learned with pride. Hence my smile at the end with the happy chord. Nice to add the backdrop of a week up north on a lake with family to inspire this version. Hope ya dig!

Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 7 ‘Man Of Your Word’ My apologies on being a little quiet lately as I’ve been spending some time focusing on family and myself. This song is one of those special ones that came out quick. My family was vacationing in Freeport, Bahamas over March Break. A visit to the market on a rainy day inspired the idea for this song. As I told many vendors we would visit each booth as a family, she responded after our visit that she liked that I was a ‘Man Of My Word’. I wrote this song in about 5 minutes once back at the resort. There is no greater honour, responsibility and sense of purpose than being a parent. This song is about how fast my son is growing up and my hope that I doing a good job as a dad. Hope ya dig!

Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 6 ‘Just Listen’ Seems like there’s a lot going on lately in the world and sometimes the best medicine is to have a healthy outlet. This recording is a tad sloppy with timing, but is the first video I’ve ever made with 3 me’s! Dive into the lyrics, you’re not alone, but take the time to help another and just listen. Hope ya dig!

Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 5 ‘The Peddler’ Wrote this song on our family Xmas Vacation in Rivieria Maya, Mexico (Dec. 21-28th, 2025). I was fascinated by the amount of people who tried to sell us stuff on resort/beach hence the name ‘the peddler’. This is a rough version done quickly on our balcony on the last day. A bit of wind, but the bones are there. A couple really good lines in this one to make you think. My creative juices always flow on vacations. Hope ya dig!
