Chris MacDonald, Kevin Lay, Chris Barnes and myself have been writing songs together when we can. This is the first one we have ever finished in one night. I blame me and my lofty new years resolutions haha
Song 6
New song written today with Bill Fowler who I met last week when he interviewed me for Uprising HSV. Bill has been playing in the area for years and it was great to finally meet him and get to work on something together.

Song 5
Trying to write as many songs as I can this year. Aiming for one a day but that isn’t always possible as I have a job and stuff haha. It is still helpful knowing that if I have time, I should try to finish or at least start a new song. Here is the fifth in this new year’s resolution series.
Day 4
Day Four! Four Songs in Four Days. I’ve had a lot of help. I could never have done this on my own. This one was written with my dear friend Lana White.
Thank you for coming over and writing this song with me Lana!
Day 3
Day three of three songs in three days. How long can I keep this up? Who can say for sure.
Cowrite with my friends Kevin and Chris, who make up 1/2 of a band I’m in called Send A Raven.
When You Run Out of Time
What can we do
Now that we’re dying
If I could start again
With energy to spend
Hide all the clocks
Pull me back in
Stained glass
Watch the expanse
All this medicine isn’t keeping you alive
The best part is the next part
When you go back in time
Send away all the angels
It’s all that you can do
They do not deserve to see
What the world did to you
You might not get any closer
On the edge looking down
Out in the horizon
Is a world you haven’t found
All this medicine isn’t keeping you alive
What is worth holding on to
When you run out of time
All this medicine isn’t keeping you alive
What is worth holding on to
When you run out of time
All this medicine isn’t keeping you alive
What is worth holding on to
When you’ve run out of time
Day three of three songs in three days. How long can I keep this up? Who can say for sure.

Day two of two songs in two days. Yes, I’m trying to write a song a day. Technically I finished this one before the day was over. Technically it was started Monday when Ingrid came over. Another Billy and Ingrid cowrite for the books.
Day 1
Day One of writing one song per day
Happy New Years! Thank you once again for being here. This one is a cowrite with Huntsville Alabama’s Ingrid Marie. Thank you Ingrid!
BRAVE
I walked in to your room
I couldn’t find the words
Do I have to spell it out
Sit down this one’s gonna hurt
I thought you might have known
Many times I had tried
To lay it all out
Should have come as no surprise
You don’t have to be brave
You don’t have to let it go
You don’t even have to try
You are never alone
You don’t have to be brave
I guess I should have known
Should have read the signs
Should have hid your keys
Should have read your mind
You gotta make your move
It’s gonna be ok
This could be your shot, kid
This could be your big break
You don’t have to be brave
You don’t have to let it go
You don’t even have to try
You were never alone
You don’t have to be brave
Or pretend that you’re strong
Let’s just both fall apart
Right here where we belong
You were already packed
I was turning over stones
Something shifted in the earth
When I picked up the phone
We’ve been stumbling in the dark
For half of our lives
Something bigger than us both
Pulled me back inside
You don’t have to be brave
