"Spinning Daydream"

"Let the hammering epiphany, knock the wind right out of your daydream"

It's about rolling with moments in life that seem overwhelming.

Listen to the sneak peak of the track below!

LYRICS

VERSE

Spinning in a frenzy

All the world's a blurry streak

Feel this carousel might save me

Or slingshot me into next week

CHORUS

Inhale the roses

Get tangled in grapevines while you can

Make love to this moment

Engrave and lock it in your head

Let the hammering epiphany

Knock the wind right out of your daydream

VERSE 2 

I’m sprinting with the wind

Until it sweeps me off my feet

Rotates me on all my axis

Pieces of my world ripping around me

CHORUS

Inhale the roses

Get tangled in grapevines while you can

Make love to this moment

Engrave and lock it in your head

Let the hammering epiphany

Knock the wind right out of your daydream

BRIDGE

Leave your eyes open in the clouds while you sky dive

See the oxygen and hydrogen you breathe become rain

Feel lighting fly from your fingers, hear thunder follow

Before you come crashing down to the mountains again

VERSE

Take one last deep breath

Flowers bloom and flowers die

Live like fire trapped in a diamond

These moments are burned into soul and mind

BACKSTORY

I wrote this song almost 10 years ago, unbelievably, about overwhelming moments in time when we feel like we're losing control of the world around ourselves.

It's one of my favorite songs, and having gone through a somewhat tumultuous time in my life, it seemed more relevant and personally inspiring than ever. So, I decided to re-record it -- but now, with a decade's worth of writing, arranging, producing and mixing experience under my belt!
