If you were the one If you were the right and the wrong The flickering light The fireworks in the skies If you were the one If you could sparkle as the sun Would you brighten my day? Would you ease my pain? If you were the one The only place left to call home The burning fire That burns in my cold heart I love it when your face beams And when our eyes meet It gets hard to breathe And then our cheeks stretch and shape a smile We can't help it. If you were the one The silence after the storm The words unspoken The pictures on my walls
2.
Thought that it'd be gone by now I'm striving to survive The ocean depth of those sky eyes They keep me up at night There ain't no reason to pretend Or be afraid of heights What shade of color do you see in me when blue is all I've got? You're a bird And no one will ever cage you You're a bird You're a bird And love will never cage you You're a bird Soaring up above so high You know a thousand ways to fly And though you've conquered gravity It still has its toll on me A stairway to escape this life and feathers just to keep me warm And every time the sun goes down I wonder where the hell you are

Last Goodbye 05:19
I will quench this burning fire just by turning a light switch off I will wander across this land painting words in black and white I've been planning to leave this city but then I just realized Since the day your eyes met mine I've lost my peace, I've lost my mind There's no comfort in these words, sometimes they just make it worse But it seems I can hear the silence singing chants across the room Fate is carved out of stone, I can take it but not for long When your face is stained on the apple of my eyes And this is not a last goodbye Not even my last attempt, there are many things to try I will carry you dearly inside my chest You know I've fooled myself but it's for the best I have lived, I have loved and I damn sure paid the price To eternalize the moments when your eyes were into mine I am giving you this song all I ask is just one smile To make sure that I will sleep in peace tonight

Northwest Hill is a three-song project written in three weeks during one specific and special time in early 2011. The songs talk about desires, heartache and departure. They all mean a whole lot to me, and were recorded in my bedroom. It is a little bit of everything.

This quote from Kathy Parsons sums up what the heart of an artist is all about:

“An unfortunate aspect of being an artist is that it is often life’s most painful experiences that bring out the best of their artistic expression. Emotional extremes make us all dig deeper into who we are, but most artistic personalities have the capability of going much deeper and feeling those emotional extremes even more intensely. It’s an odd mixture of blessing and curse, but when the result is a creation that is superior to anything an artist has done before, it takes away some of the sting.”
