about

Written in the spring of 2019.
A song about using gratefulness to combat feelings of doom and gloom.
It used to be more of a spiteful break-up song, but I've since changed the lyrics to be a bit broader.

Re-recorded at home in Boyce, VA
June of 2022.

Featuring Hamilton Belk on Pedal Steel Guitar
and Lily Cousland on vocals. <3

lyrics

Doom Defeater

They find it funny
when I’m being real
and I find it tragic
They're refusin' to feel

The weight of our actions
becomes the weight of our pain
and we’re both left standing
All alone in the rain

We’re both left broken
With nothing to gain

Outside it’s spring time
And the world is ablaze
insects are screaming
And the birds are all crazed

The wildflowers i planted
Are bursting in bloom
And i’ve found a new way
To defeat my DOOM

Right now I’m grateful
To have loved and then lost
Someday we’ll look back (and smile)
At the rivers we crossed

And do I respect you?
Words can’t say enough
And I’ll be here for you
When you’re through acting tough...

And lastly i thank you
For callin’ my bluff...
Am i in love now
Words cant say enough
