about

Death & Rebirth is concept record about the ways in which we die and live again every day as we change and grow with every season and milestone. It's best listened to from beginning to end because the sonic landscape is just as much a growing story as each song individually illuminates snapshots of a journey we all share to varying degrees. This a record to be experienced.

This project was originally released in two parts (Winter and Summer 2011) and then, per the original intent, combined into one whole (Summer 2012).

Track Name: Death
Truth, Truth be told
You might shake your fist at death, but we all grow old
Search, Search with you might
But the fountain of youth is running dry
But the fountain of youth is running dry

Truth, Truth be told
That body you're wearing is not your home
Feel, feel the scars
Cresting in your skin and in your soul
Oh, the dirge has started, can you feel the pull?


There's just nowhere to go
There's just nowhere to hide
When your time is coming
It's everywhere you look
It's always on your mind
You can't escape the tide

There's just nowhere to run
There's just nowhere to hide
When the fire's coming
It's everywhere you look
It's always on your mind
As your days go by
Can you feel your soul
Start to lose control
As the light comes crashing
Everything you see
Everything you'll be
is pulling you under
Track Name: Nothing But Love Can Stay
I found you in Gabriel’s yard
Staring at the people running through the fields
I grabbed your hand so tight
And we watched a world leave its world behind
St. Louis is New York City
New York City is like ancient Pompeii
Florida is underwater now
And the West Coast is a torn out page in history

But though earthquakes roar underneath
And mountains crumble into seas
Though the winds may level cities
When it all burns away, nothing but love can stay

We left our bags out on the porch
As the clouds began to churn
I thought I heard a trumpet saying
“It’s only getting worse”
So as the rain began to fall
I held you like a knife against my skin
I begged God for one more day and then
I kissed what I knew goodbye

But though earthquakes roar underneath
And mountains crumble into seas
Though the winds may level cities
When it all burns away, nothing but love can stay

Nothing but love can stay
Track Name: Afterlife Parade
Hold my hand
As I step into the great unknown
I can feel the cadence now
Bass drums are leading my soul
So I peel the world away
Just like an ancient scab
And it feels so good
‘Cause life hurts so bad

I say oh oh

Don’t cry for me
When you find that I'm gone
'Cause I'm roaming free
Into the arms of love
And you can wear my sweater
If it keeps you warm
‘Cause there’s no winter
Where I’m going now

I said oh oh

I can feel the ticker tape
On my face
As I march from death
Into an afterlife parade

Can you hear the trumpets
Erupting from our lungs
As we join in the chorus
Celebrating the end of us
And we will open up our eyes
Yeah, we won't need strength to stand
For everything that's right
Is an instrument in our hands

We all sing oh oh
Track Name: Rebirth
Spin the dial
Time is on fire
Come eventide
In kiln of life
Kerosene,
I got a bridge
You got a match for me?

Hurling soul
Jack knife into the depths of
A renaissance
Bless this mess
With solluting guns
Never thought I'd see the day
But the day is won
Rebirth is upon us
Rebirth us upon us

And start, stop
Start, stop
Start
And I come out swingin'
Track Name: Black Woods, White Beach
Pain, past, quick sand
Eyes meet your hand

Never want to go back
Never want to go
Never want to

Black woods, white beach
Ship, mast, come sail east

Never want to go back
Never want to go
Never want to

Oh, Oh, Oh

Never have to go back
Never have to go
Never have to

Oh, Oh, Oh
