if you believe the world is getting better then you are losing the battle. during the course of writing, recording and producing this album, i started seeing things in the world, in people, and in myself that started to change that i feel like have changed forever. every track has a story behind it and a deeper meaning to me, and for the first time in my life i am PROUD to present to you a piece of me that will be here forever.

thank you for listening. feed the hungry. shelter the homeless. love on each other. support your local artists. God is real.

Psalm 13
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

RIP Young Su Song. 1943-1997
