Know that You’ll Always be Loved
Simply put, this song is a tribute and a letter to my brother Andrew, who died in late April 2025. I will never have the gift of speaking to Andrew again, but I hope this song serves to connect with him and to preserve his memory. The world is better off knowing the piece of Andrew I can share.I love you, brother.

Flabbergasted 
Love songs can be cheesy and feel unoriginal. Metaphors can be cheesy and feel unoriginal. So why not make a metaphorical love song? I like the simplicity of this song. It grooves in a pretty satisfying way. Maybe there is something beautiful about experiencing
something that others can relate to. Maybe individuality is enough originality.

The Blacksmith's War 
Nothing is as satisfying and simultaneously infuriating as when you see trends leading to
outcomes that most people don’t want to admit are happening, but when they do come to
pass, people admit neither their previous naivety nor your foresight. And when those
outcomes affect you and those you love, it is even worse.

Endure the Cost of Fame
As I began my journey towards making a career as a musician, leaving a small, familiar, safe town was a bump in the road I expected, but was not prepared for. The ups and downs of being on a path many don’t want to follow can be educational and exciting, but it's frequently scary and lonely. Perhaps the comfort of home is enticing for a good reason.

White Hair
In truth, I wrote this song for my grandparents at a time when their health was unstable. Since then, one of them has passed away. I hope this song can serve as a note to grandparents, or any nurturing individuals, and can express some of the gratitude and emotions that can be felt as the recipient of loving care.

Know that You’ll Always be Loved (Andrew's Version)
