From the recording Only Child
This song is written about and inspired by my immediate family. My mother, late father, and my brother. It represents the role each of us plays in our individual lives as we grow and absorb everyone and everything around us. In this phase of my life, I have grown to respect my family and all of those I have been lucky or unlucky enough to cross paths with, in a new way. I understand the roads we all travel are different and that I don't fit into any specific pocket of influence, rather I am "somewhere in between" all of the personalities, spirits, and souls. This realization provides a window to the radical empathy we all have the ability to feel for one another.
Lyrics
Well my mother is an only child
And she plays with friends that she made up
Well I got her eyes and attitude
That she taught me how to use
Well my father has a gentle soul
but he lets folks walk on top of him
Well he's got more soul than them to lose
But that don't stop them
I am somewhere in between
On a rock but needing things
I am somewhere in between
I am somewhere in between
Well they say I have my fathers song
and my brother he's been gone too long
and my mothers eyes are sweet and true
But that don't mean I'll stay here
I am somewhere in between
On a rock but needing things
I am somewhere in between
I am somewhere in between
