about
This song is about true love. Not the kind that rides the whim of emotions, that fills up books of poetry, and rolls off the tongue so easily with the words “I love you”. It’s about the kind of love that even when the word is not spoken, people recognize it for what it is. Why? Because “Love Is”.
lyrics
Maybe she will walk with you,
Maybe she’d let you hold the shoe,
Maybe she’d run, Maybe you’d fall,
But what’s it gonna take for you to realize
Everyone flies by the seat of their pants.
Holidays wear you thin,
Holidays come and go the same,
Hollow little thought in the back of your mind,
Wrap your presents up in a paper bag,
Who cares what kind of dough you spend on your gifts.
You know the right words,
The words you’re waiting for,
You know the the right shadows when they fall,
Well you’ll be waiting for years for that day to come,
But don’t you wait too long, no don’t you wait too long.
Cause everyone falls in love,
Everyone makes the change for love,
So don’t you let it get you down,
Or cause you any grief,
Cause love is not a loan that you pay on time,
Love is not a crutch that you think is fine,
Love is not a book, man, to keep you in line,
Love is not a rule for you to break or live by,
Love is not a word that you should throw around,
Love is not a stone for you to cast when you are down,
Love is in your eyes and love is in your hand,
And Love doesn’t care if you are a fool or a rich man.
Cause love is,
Love is,
Cause love is.

It's always been about what moves the heart. The songs I sing are compelling stories whose telling must be told over and
over again. The stories range from dark acts that should not be forgotten to the silly revelries that we should never forsake. My hope is that as my heart is moved by the music so too may yours be moved.
