about

this album is a tribute to and an exploration of Harper Lee's classic American Novel "To Kill A Mockingbird". The novel has been an integral part of my life for longer than i can remember, and i felt i wanted to honor its influence and dive into its characters. these songs focus on the main family of the novel, the finches, and are each voices that i have heard atticus, jem and scout speaking with as ive read the novel. thank you for listening, i hope these encourage you to re-explore your favorite book, movie, letter, or experience and find that it is still breathing with life.

Track Name: Running
Runnin' down the street outside your house
Mystery around every corner
Growin' tall in summers warm embrace
Growin' up to find a brand new day

Don’t move to fast
There's a world around
That sings your song in every sound
Breathe in slow
With eyes wide open
Hold the world inside your hand

Runnin' from the shadows of the evening
Courage will find you in the end
Standin' tall in hatreds blazing fury
Standin' tall as you become man

Runnin' through the years of your childhood
Someday you’ll look back and be proud
Walkin' tall with boldness in your footstep
Walkin' tall you’ll stand above the crowd
Track Name: Still As My Heart
I sit here on our bed in the summer
Life outside as still as my heart
They say that I’ve been changing growing colder
Since the day you flew out of my life

So little of what you were is in this picture
Gentle eyes hidden by your smile
Taken the day we drew our lives together
I couldn’t believe that you were really mine

Now the hounds are closing in all around me
Im sitting in this chair all alone
How I wish that you were here beside me
To hide me in the love of your arms

His face is where your smile has grown again
His spirit has the will of your own
You changed his name to E from I against my wishes
For he was truer than any stone

In him I find my redemption
He carries all my deepest scars
But I am afraid of growing closer
For fear of losing my heart
Track Name: Marching To Zion
When the days were clear and golden
As the sun began to fade
With the scent of sweet magnolia
I began to find my way

Voices strong and joyful
Free from chains of hate
Rolled on Sunday morning
From the church so filled with faith

Tomorrow will be a better day
Don't let your worry
Steal your joy away

With the people all around me
And their heavy loss to bear
Marching on to Zion
With worries and with cares

It was there I learned my part in
The grandest scheme of life
We are bound up close together
Our souls reaching for the skies
