Artist Statement: 

I wrote this when I was at my lowest point and I wanted to give up. Life was out of control and I was feeling lonely, depressed, and angry. I was ready to throw in the towel, but the melody was constantly in my head. I didn't know what to do with the idea, but everything came together when I was up in Millcreek Canyon. I stared at the stars with nature surrounding me and harmonies flying through my head. I realized that I am hopeful because there is still solace and peace in the world through music and nature.
