This is stupid.

You know what irks me?

Dreamcatcher tattoos. In Indigenous lore, dreamcatchers catch nightmares and you're supposed to burn them.

God has given me a pretty tough life, filled with nightmares and demons and trauma. When I wrote the lyrics (that I didn't sing) to this song a few years ago, I was asking God why He allowed me to go through all of the trauma I did.

And you know what He told me? He told me my songs are dreamcatchers meant to trap nightmares and to burn them up.

I don't know if I'll ever record this song (or share anything more than the instrumental), but I'll share a few lines from it:

I'm giving it all I've got
Fanning this flame
And I hope for you
That it'll light your way

I hope that it will light your way
I hope that it will light your way

Getting to feature on Lakeland PBS was such an amazing experience! Despite being on the tail end of a really bad flu when we recorded this, the team was so wonderful to work with and I'm super honored and thankful to have had the chance to work with them.
