This is a song I wrote about if you ever feel stuck in whatever is going on in life, never just settle for anything. Keep moving forward, don’t look back, never give up on your dreams and what you want to accomplish in life..more
A chill groove fusion of Folk Rock with a hint of Synthpop. Outlaw country lyrics, melded with Americana chord movements, with an added twist of electronic ambiance. more
