When your trying to make a difference Feeling so low and desperate Don’t give it a name it ain’t no coincidence Take it or leave it well you ain’t gonna believe It’s on your sleeve so what are you gonna do about it Ain’t no doubt about it It was meant for you I’ll be there for you You got to follow through You know what you need to do Seen it all and know every consequence You know there is no substitute for experience Its on display revealing your preference, Taken from the pages of irreverence, put it in a place of significance You’re dancing around it, tell me all about it Screaming or shouting, you're better off without it now Ain’t no doubt about it It was meant for you Its nothing other than the truth/ You know what you need to do It was meant for you

I love the love that lights the way into your life I love the love that lights the way into your eyes Burning like a flame right through making sure I’m doing right by you I’m learning new ways to say the same old thing I love you There’s nothing else like you You are dream come true Your the one who makes me believe Your the one who’s been teaching me And now I can see And now I can breath I love the love that lights the way into your heart I love the love that lights the way from your star Reflecting off the face of the moon Illuminating all the ways you move And I’m learning new ways to say the same old thing I love you There’s nothing else like you You are dream come true You're the one who makes me believe You're the one who’s been teaching me And now I can see And now I can breath I couldn’t see that you were leading me I couldn’t believe that you were reaching me

Only a few knew how it would end way back then for them All but one had dropped their guns all but one was done Fighting a war that meant so much more he was fighting for so much more You know the tune The moment of truth You know what to do Coming for you

The best time to be alive is right now How long you gonna wait for How long you gonna wait Would you rather reflect or render Perfect opposite Can’t wait to get you off on it Oh the possibilties Gonna get the drop on it Looking for a sponsorship You know its so deliberate Just a little glimpse of it I want to be a part of it
5.
It was good to meet you It’s good to see you It’s good to know that someone like you Will be around To stick it out You know I’m down I want to know you Wanted to show you All the ways you never knew You changed my life Stars aligned line All that time I was just too Cool for school It means the world to you now You know you’re nobody’s fool I want to love you I want to touch Somewhere deep in your heart You won’t forget Just what it meant the times we spent I want to thank you I want to make you Understand all the things You’ve been missing I’m just wishing You would listen But you know you’re too Cool for school It means the world to you now You know you’re nobody’s fool
6.
All the time in the world I wouldn’t waste it on me All the time in the world I wouldn’t spend it even if I won the lottery Running around in circles with your head hung down Tracing a trail along that spiral whether it goes up or it goes down Oh no it don’t seem right Won’t you see it with your own eyes It’s all on the line Oh no it starts tonight All the time in the world it don’t give back in kind Cupping my hands holding a baby bird that never had the chance to fly Oh no it don’t seem right Won’t you see it with your own eyes It’s all on the line All come alive Can’t wait for that day All the time in the world they wouldn’t waste it on this All the time in the world I been searching for me SOmething you can’t give up even if you give it away for free All the time in the world I wouldn't spend it on you dug my grave under a spotlight but somehow nobody ever knew All the time in the world I would waste it on this All the time in the world is what it took to see exactly what we missed

Bought that ticket now take the ride You ain't wrong but that don’t make it right The courage it took to take that stand When I knew i would lose before I began Well let it all drop Laid it all out Let it all go I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling and I am Let it all unfold Best laid plans come undone when rehearsed Great expectations preparations for the worst Its a good day to die when you’re young all your life and the truth means more than being right Well let it all drop Laid it all out Let it all unfold I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling I’m foolin’ I’m foolin’ I’m foolin’ I’m folding I’m folding I’m folding and I am Let it all unfold Outsmarted myself from the start which makes it so hard when it falls apart And breaks your heart Holding on so long and it won’t let go I try not to let it show When you need to know let it all unfold
8.
A little truth never hurt no one A little truth only ever hurts the one Who can’t be honest Could you keep a promise I was only being honest Hoping that you would notice A good friend won’t tell you what you want to hear A true friend takes the time to help get you clear About being honest Only if you promise Could you keep me honest I didn't’ think you'd notice Rumbling and rambling Stumbling and scrambling I’ve been wondering when the other foot is gonna drop What’s it gonna take to make you stop and smell the roses Everything is always better than when we’re together again Meanwhile we’re living in parenthesis

about

This project began on a snowy Spring morning in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. As nearly two feet of snow dumped I decided to record a batch of songs in their most raw, stripped down, naked and honest form. These songs have appeared or are in the cue to appear on other Spiritwell albums, however the intentional lack of production here brings forth a character that I think is important to express as in many cases the songs are born in this format: just me and an acoustic guitar. As some of these versions are being presented as they were written others had to be treated and /or completed to be able to be presented in this format where the were written or conceived via other modes. The recordings are all one takes with no overdubs performed over two days in early February when the city was shut down from an epic Albuquerque low snow storm. There are two different digital formats, Volume 1 and Volume 2 under the same name, however the CD is available for purchase with all tracks consolidated on one disc. I hope when you listen you are able to experience and enjoy a bit of the magic that I was conjuring that morning.

I want to thank Jason Smiley for the inspiration and motivation to complete these songs in a way that has made for a project I wouldn't have otherwise considered.
