*UPDATE*
I've received many kind words from various people and I'm so grateful for the encouragement. Hopefully I can continue to create music that is both a genuine expression of my own experience AND a compelling listen.

I finished writing a song today called Color Unseen that has been percolating for about a year and a half. It's intensely personal - the back story is (i) my journey toward emotional wholeness and (ii) embracing process rather than the binary I've always known. I've really never written a song of such a personal nature but I really enjoyed letting this one pour out of me.
Click here if you'd like to listen to it - this is just the demo I recorded on my iPhone so please excuse any poor vocal/guitar sounds you hear).

Life rises and falls like a breath like a wave
It comes in selections of color unseen
Down Lincoln Street, I can feel its roar
Up Main am I willing to embrace it?
She’s been gone now just these ten days
I wanna walk outside and begin
To change the way I look at my own scars
And feel for the hand in the dark
And feel for the hand in the dark
I raise up my voice and scream at the wind
I stay in bed and weep till I’m dry and weep till I’m dry
Antique chairs, her books, and our bed
All the things that remain and remind
They wait outside and they wait from within
Happy voices hide heavy hearts
The sorrow seeps in and it takes root
The pain is a scythe and it cuts to the marrow
I’m opened up to the elements and it’s been too goddamn long
I’m not used to all these feelings
But I’d like to try if I can
