City Life 04:12
V1 you break it down for me again so simple that I can’t defend the meaning of the wise who rarely step outside the noise of city life V2 it’s opened up for me today I’m circling the words you say still it’s hard to get back in like talking to a friend over noise of city life V3 I’m pulled back to the battle ground we’re all looking but it can’t be found there’s a riot in the streets they’re all screaming for relief the noise of city life V4 who’s around to hear the little prayers? is there anyone that even cares? ‘cause no matter what I read I see no space to breathe in the noise of city life V5 this place it speaks of empathy it’s stories promise sympathy but it’s nothing more than lies white noise and neon signs just the noise of city life Chorus take me past the logic of this place the beauty of it all is in your face sing to me again about your plans in your eyes I start to understand

Bitter Root 04:01
V1 I even said the right words. I can really say them well But everyone should know, my heart is evil You begin to own me. You begin to control me (2X) Chorus The bitter root grows With a shocking lack of sunlight The broken heart knows Pain feels better than forgiveness V2 So I walk it out alone, wanting to remember just why I dislike you I say I’m walking it out, that just means I’m holding on So my thoughts of you start to fill every part of who I am I can see it everywhere, just how bad you got to me…I’m not free

V1 we’re all young bucks run amuck fighting for our lives fighting for our rights we all fight tooth and nail believe the tales that we are sold and ponder deep into the night V2 we’re all young revolutionaries carrying the truth we are fighting for our rights even if we give a little they’ll just wanna take a lot we’re fighting for our rights V3 we’re alone in the dark night, long fight, believing we’re right once again we are fighting for our rights but we’re asleep in the first chair, thrown into midair, lost without our share, hopeless fighting for our lives pre chorus we believe that they are closing in and if we stop to catch our breath they come in for the kill and as we feel them breathing down our backs we wonder why we always move uphill chorus deeper waters overflow everything I know everything I’ve fought to contain deeper waters overthrow everything I’ve sown outside of your love bridge a hand, a hand reaches down in the water I know, I know your eyes, it’s your eyes walls fall in the water I know, I know

The Valley 04:52
V1 Time got away from me. Life hit me in the chin now I can’t see This, this has gotta be, gotta be the thing that puts me down Chorus Though I walk thru the valley of the shadow I will fear no evil (fear no evil) Your rod and staff they comfort me Though I walk thru the land that is evil I am under your wing (under your wing) Your rod and staff they comfort me V2 Wind blowing from the north; dark clouds, here comes the rain This, this was not the plan; not the road I chose but here I am Bridge So I tried, I tried to be strong like I thought I was supposed to be. Even when I cried you never left me. You just held me, held me close.

Keep Normal 06:19
V1 I’ve been in this place before You bring me from time to time I wrestle and always fall As I sit here to write it out I feel I can wait no more I feel like I’ve hit the wall V2 I walk away every time Not knowing what I have learned I wonder who knows this song I’m lost in my thoughts again Wondering how this one ends Keep normal where he belongs CHORUS I’ve never known you to leave me when I am down I’ve never heard you laugh at me in the dark All you have done is hold me up till the dawn V3 I’ve been in this place before You bring me from time to time I wrestle and always fall But I lift up my eyes again to the one who knows all I don’t you hear me each time I call

about

Seth's debut project is a laid back exploration of life and how we respond do it.

“The last several years have had their own set of unique challenges and pain as well as joy and blessing. I’ve experienced great loss as well as huge gain. Songwriting has become a lifesaver for me to help wrap my brain around life”, says Seth. “My latest recording, The Valley, reflects on those experiences. Life comes at you whether you want it to or not. It’s how you let these things affect you that’s important. It’s what makes you who you are.”

Seth currently lives in the Kansas City area with his best friend, Sarah and their 4 kids.
