about

This one came after Heyleon completed our first round of recording together in Taos. I wrote it on the way home in Brody’s back seat while we were driving through the Carson National Forest. I feel so blessed to be on this Earth at the same time as so many brilliant and talented friends and feel like we're all put in this place for a really good reason, to heal the world through music. This is about being lucky enough to be existing beside each other in this reality. It was also recorded on the Heyleon “Friends and Family” album. (releasing April 2020)

lyrics

I don't know how we got here but I'm sure glad we came. Use the days to do the good work, in the night we love and play. We may not be family but we're kindred just the same. I don't know how he got here but I'm so glad we came. You're the friend of a lifetime. I will walk the path with you, and if dark days come upon us hold your hand is what I'll do. of all the souls in all the lifetimes, how did this come to be? I'm so glad I didn't miss you. The ages brought you to me.
