- You Found Me is a tough song for me. It started from just a song with a lot of hate towards God. More of questions, "why" It’s about the disappointment, the heartache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest.
- It is about a fight I got in with my brother, Caleb. After he graduated high school, we drifted apart and really hadn’t spoken in a long time. One day we both realized that we needed to fight it out. We’d been friends for twenty years. That’s a long time when you’re only 23 years old. We fought it out, and he’s one of my best friends today.
- One of the youngsters I was paired up with was a musician. Here I was, a protected suburbanite, and he was just 17 and had all these problems. He was a recovering addict, coming out of a really tough teenage life. Thankfully, he was on his way out of that life, so he was able to really look back with some objectivity. The song is more of a memoir about his slow motion descent and all the relationships he lost along the way.
