They're Dancing to the Music

As a songwriter, the absolute most rewarding experience is watching my original music make its way into the lives and hearts of others. Across the years, these rewards have revealed themselves in all kinds of ways — a young couple who chose Rome Tomorrow as their song, a bride who walked down the aisle to As the Crow Flies, a married couples’ first dance to The Road, a group of 3rd graders inharmoniously singing We Grow at a school assembly, a young artist who covered This Too Shall Pass as her first single, a barely speaking toddler singing to me the words of Welcome the Change, a teary-eyed homeless man finding brief joy in Better Be Us All, a troubled teen who opted against suicide after hearing Explode and an elderly woman choosing Wyoming as the last song she heard in this life — these are just a few of the crystal gifts I’ve been given.

And now, a new gift.

I’ve seen couples dance to my songs and yes, I’ve seen audiences sway to my sounds, however, never have I seen a dedicated, choreographed dance performance to my music. With that, as a proud first in my career, I present young Emma and her lyrical dance to my song Often & Much. A new notch in the belt. A new smile on my face.
