I wrote LORD WILLING back Florida before moving to Nashville at a time when the darkness felt too real to ignore. The song sat like a weight for years - too raw, too haunting for most contexts. It’s slow and it’s sad, but it’s always felt so honest and real to me…

When Yellowstone Season 3 was seeking music, we cut a demo. The song got several YES’s as it moved through Nashville, got forwarded to LA producers, and finally reached the show's decision-makers. I was so excited that my song was so close to reaching so many new people; then came the pass. Just another near-miss in a town built on almosts…

Years later, my producer suggested revisiting LORD WILLING for my monthly release schedule. We found forgotten drum tracks from the original sessions and built something cinematic around them.

The track leans into dark country/Wild West territory, and I'm glad it found the courage to be as haunting as it needed to be (thanks to some eerie, howling background vocals from Danielle Beu).

LORD WILLING explores an emotional landscape we've all visited: that place where you're barely keeping your head above water when the creek rises, and survival becomes the only victory that matters…
