about

This is the first single released off my forthcoming album, “Life’s Moments.” "Answer" features Jeff Mellott on drums, Matt Wiles on bass, and Brandon Coleman on guitars and keyboards.

"ANSWER" tackles a question that almost every person asks out loud at some point in their life, “What does it all mean? What is the meaning of my existence? What is the answer?” And the “answer” we’re really looking for goes unanswered.

The song was inspired by my daily walks through Eden Park with my dog. I would walk my dog twice a day and often find myself on these 30 to 40-minute contemplative walks, observing nature, and later, writing what I thought down in my journal. Inevitably, what I thought about were these, ‘what about life’ type of questions which I turned into song themes.

lyrics

Verse
I can see this sunlight, shining brightly through the trees, reaching out to me
I can feel the darkness, and the coldness that it brings, closing in on me

Pre-Chorus
And it makes me wonder, who am I supposed to be

Chorus
Cause in the end it doesn’t matter
Cause, in the end, we’re all the same
Cause everyone is searching for the answer
Cause in the end the answers will remain

Verse
I can feel the snowfall, falling down all over me, what a sight to see
Standing still in snowfall, while the birds sing joyfully, calling out to me

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
There’s a moment when I found it
And the whole world seems right
In the next moment, I’ve lost it
I’ve been searching ever since because you know
Yeah, you know…

Chorus

Outro
But in the end, the answer will remain (twice)
