about

“More” is an epic folk-rock odyssey through nature in which one woman seeks to find meaning in her life after a devastating loss. “As she flees across the canvas” she is enriched by the natural world and discovers both the inner beauty of herself as well as the lesson that nothing is truly lost forever.

lyrics

Mountains, streams, and valleys lay ahead
As she flees across the canvas she seeks
Solace somewhere far from all the dead
That haunt her every rest
She finds her strength out off the beaten path
Where winds of fortune blow to guide her
Above, below a grief she can't possess
With hope upon her back

She said I'm just holding
Onto knowing
That there's something more than I have lost

Along the winding of the road she blazes fast
From coast along to coast she drinks a
Toast to all the most enchanting sands
Drunk in every sense
She stops to gaze the spider and his web
And all the deer that nuzzle close beneath the
Sun that rises slow to light the land
As it warms her heart again

She said I'm just holding
Onto knowing
That there's something more
There must be something more than I have lost

Well I need more
More
I must find something more than I have lost

After pushing every boundary, bone, and breath
She's proven to herself that she can
Face down any phantom whom she's dread
She summons them instead
The ghost of all she mourns reveals his hand
I've been here all along I was
The web, the sand, the deer, and journey's end
And I call you home again

He said I'm just holding
Onto knowing
This is something more
We are something more
The road has more in store
More than we have lost
