The Novemberist

Wrote this one shortly before leaving my role of nearly 10 years. I was pulling myself out of a dark place, trying to remember my value and strength. The words poured out and, in a real attempt to push myself out of my comfort zone, I stepped behind the mic. With discomfort comes growth.

Foundation of the new me Version thirty-four better than version one I hope to see version eighty for all is done Never sought it out. Never cared to Figured I’d get there if I paid my dues But livin' on a path that’s written by someone else Leaves you very little when they decide to bid farewell What is life, but to be lived? And, what is livin' when you wish for something different Turn the page, write the same words over again Look back in thirty years Wish you’d taken a chance When that train comes out the station Can’t hit the breaks Got to keep going Even when life is hard Gotta keep pushin' You gonna to let fear take you? Gonna sit back and wish you did that thing you always wanted to do? Or you gonna to stand up and fight? Fighting something that’s bigger than me Cause I have the audacity to breathe Like mos says, I ain’t no perfect man But when Morpheus put the red pill in my hand The plan changed Disconnected from the machine Put the pen to the pad and started pursuing my dream If I don’t make it before I leave this earth I’ll take solace in knowing my worth I’ll take solace in knowing my worth

One of many tracks written on a balcony in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. On my first adult vacation, I unplugged and was able to tap into my creativity - unlocking a host of sounds inspired by the beauty of the scene and my wife, Jess.
