Run 03:29
I keep movin’ on through the rain and fog I keep on runnin’ I keep on movin’ on. From the dusk to dawn, Tryin’ stand up straight and strong I keep on runnin’ I keep on movin’ on The wind rushes with me The leaves speak softly They say Run. I keep runnin’ on can feel my muscles bond I keep on runnin’ I keep on movin’ on. From the dusk to dawn, Tryin’ hold my head up high, I keep on runnin’ I keep on movin’ on. The wind rushes with me The leaves speak softly They say Run. Can you hear them? Can you see them? All the people That want you to move on. Can you hear them? Can you see them? All the people that want you to go on. The wind rushes with me The leaves speak softly They say Run.

24 Year Old 02:41
Here we go again, new job and friends Tryin to make this work. Goin’ up a ladder but the rungs are scattered Tryin to find the next step. Goin’ up and up Goin’ down and up And can’t quite get high enough. x 2 But… Here we go again, new job and friends Tryin to make this work. Goin’ up a ladder but the rungs are scattered Tryin to find the next step. Goin’ up and up Goin’ down and up And can’t quite get high enough. x 2 And… I don’t, I don’t get this madness I don’t get anything, anything at all I don’t, I don’t get this madness This never ending conquest, conquest of it all And why we, why workin’ so hard For nothing, nothing at all But… Here we go again, new job and friends Tryin to make this work. Goin’ up a ladder but the rungs are scattered Tryin to find the next step. Goin’ up and up Goin’ down and up And can’t quite get high enough. Goin’ up and up Goin’ down and down Goin’ side to side Goin’ all around And I can’t quite get high enough And… On and on the story goes Of a twenty four year old I guess it doesn’t matter But we got to play the game. So… Here we go again New job and friends Got to make this work Yeah!

I heard dark waves calling my name so I floated out to sea. I stared up at the glittering sky and I cast myself away. And everybody knows, Everybody knows, Where I got to go, Go in Go in. X2 My gaze was fixed Upon the sky, but my mind drifted everywhere I thought maybe this is what life is like, but then I thought maybe I’m just scared. And everybody knows, Everybody knows, Where I got to go, Go in Go in. X2

This song was sung into me by deep-lined hands so softly. This song was bathed in blue by broken minds but still so true. Laughter floats in the summer air and yet empty glares sunk in despair. That's life, that's life. Kids bundled up makin' a snowman Death takes your grandma by the hand That's life, that's life. It's this mixed melody that we sing and sing, It's the joy and the pains that ring and ring in life, it's life. This song was sung into me by deep-lined hands so softly. This song was bathed in blue by broken minds but still so true.

about

The story of Sung into Me:

One summer night, while working at a camp in Wisconsin, I picked up a guitar—which I had only been playing for a couple weeks at the time—and wrote a short song. What I wrote seemed to reflect my life so clearly in that moment, and when I played the song for others, I could tell it meant something to them. That song—“Sung into Me (That’s Life)”—eventually became the title track of this album, and the recording featured on the album is the original one out in the woods of Wisconsin.

Because this initial experience was so poignant, I decided to write songs that I hoped people could relate to and that they could find lasting value in. I constructed the album to be a journey—a journey where the end looks similar to the beginning, but something subtle yet significant changes along the way.

My greatest hope with this album is that—just as I experienced with my first song on that summer night in Wisconsin—you will be able to relate. I hope that Sung into Me will be something you can keep in your car, sing along to, and see your own life’s reflection in.
