Fatherhood & a Compass…

“As a dad, I’m often lost, and I stumble more than I would like to admit. But what if it’s as simple as slowing down to look at our compass and make sure that a few degrees off doesn’t turn into miles apart.”

This is a great message.  I often feel lost both as a father and as a son.  I often find myself flailing and failing at what I want to do the best at.  Sometimes I feel myself withdraw, as my own father did, and have to consciously put forth the effort to not withdraw.  I withdraw out of my own feelings of inadequacy, not out of anything my own sons have said or done. I think we have to remember though, that everybody experiences things in their own way, and our experiences are often self-centric. My withdrawal may lead to one of my own sons having a different experience, one that I never imagined.

Let’s examine our own compasses, examine where we’re at, and where we want to be.  If we need to correct our course, then let’s get back to where we started, and do things just a little differently.  Just a few degrees over a long distance can result in many miles.

Where to Start – The EP!

Where To StartOur new EP titled “Where to Start – The EP” is ready for your ears!

It’s not always easy to pursue your passion. There are so many people that are going to tell you, that do tell you, and probably are telling you that your passion is not worth pursuing. We have responsibilities, and when those responsibilities affect somebody else’s life, they want their priorities to become your priorities, and your responsibility.

Pursuing your passion means that you’re taking time out of your life, that you’re putting in the extra effort required to be true to yourself, while still taking care of all those other responsibilities in your life that still need attention.

This EP represents a part of the work that we have put in to make our passions become a reality.  Between writing, practicing, performing, and recording, it takes time and effort to make this type of project happen.

The drums were recorded in a studio; but the guitars, vocals, and percussion were all recorded in a bedroom. We wanted to make this happen, so we found a way to make it happen.

We’re sharing this with the world, because it’s a project that we care about.  We hope you like it too.

Thanks for listening!
