Woven into this work is a searing question: Why must those who believe in the same God kill one another over a single interpretation of scripture? The words, carried by a quiet guitar, come across as a stern indictment of people who persist in conflict.

This piece is a track from the album “Middle,” set for release in February 2025.

When you feel the emptiness of consuming distant wars as mere information, why not listen to his voice and consider what we can do?

If you feel pressured to forget and move on too quickly, quietly facing your emotions—like in this song—might actually lighten your heart and help you take a new step forward.
