about

I wrote “A Good Story” in 2020, sitting on a porch swing, cradling my guitar, watching the rain, and reminiscing about a weekend earlier that summer.

It’s a meandering love song, an ode to the simple beauty of human touch and shared experiences.

Contributions of banjo by Carly Dow and Violin by Aline Daigle create a dreamy palette reminiscent of a European Café.

lyrics

I’ve been awake all morning
It’s raining, it’s pouring
Old man, you’re snoring

You’re a nursery rhyme
A sweet lullaby, a good story

But I wouldn’t’ wake you up
Much as I’m cravin’ that human touch
And I never say this stuff

But you’re a sweet dream of mine
At the scene of the crime, I’m not sorry

I’m not sorry
It’s a good story

I’ve been on fire all evening
I’m hooked on the sound of your breathing
The smoke in your lungs don’t need a reason

But you’re my kind of wine
A dry glass of white
A tall drink of water
Lookin’ so fine

Nursin’ your wine like all we got is time in this story
I’m not sorry- I love a good story

Been trainin’ my dragons and chasin’ my demons
Playing with angels, fighting for freedom
Tasting the danger, lovin’ the feeling

I guess it’s a sign of times
That I’m going in blind
