Honest With Myself

Do you ever feel maxed out? Tired? Overextended or exhausted? I’ve had my days, too. The road back to filling an empty reservoir is always honest reflection. Tired is ok. But ignoring it or pretending the burnout doesn’t exist is when it can become dangerous. Take a deep breath and have a moment of reflection today. 

I wrote this song this past fall amidst a busy season.  I snuck down to the basement during a live recording and this song feel out in a very short amount of time. 

Staying true to the nature and heart of it, it felt the most genuine to be very intentional with how the recording was captured.

I did one take of the acoustic.  I did one take of the vocal. And then some simple and quick additions.  Is the vocal and guitar track perfect?  Not at all.  But it felt right to capture the raw vulnerability of it in a single take. 

Remember today, there IS someone who is reaching out to catch you when you fall.  And he’s not looking for your perfection - he is looking for your honesty and vulnerability. 

Get honest with yourself.
