Down The Line

Shane Young and Evan Hinshaw playing guitars around a single microphone.

Change will inevitably present itself in many ways throughout our life. It will not always be a change that we welcome, but it will happen either way. We mustn’t allow ourselves to remain idle during these challenges. We must remain steadfast in our purpose despite the weight that may lay upon us. Beethoven wrote his 9th Symphony when he was almost completely deaf, yet it is regarded by many as his greatest work and one of the supreme achievements in the history of western music. Let this, along with other great success stories, be an example of finding hope in grim circumstances. Next time adversity blocks our path, we will simply pick up our things and move along.

Lyrics:

Gonna ride this train to nowhere
Gonna leave this town behind
I can hear those bells a ringing
Till it all gets left behind

Lately I’ve been feeling the winds of change
Wondering what tomorrow will bring my way
And I know I’ll face it on my own
Cause no one here can change things
When all is said and done

So I’ll ride this train to nowhere, Gonna leave this town behind
I can hear those bells a ringing, Till it all gets left behind

I feel something coming over me
The road ahead seems empty and I’m losing steam
And you know you need some peace of mind
Every time you leave a piece
Of yourself behind

So I’ll ride this train to nowhere, Gonna leave this trouble behind
I can hear those bells a ringing, And I know Ive lost my mind

Theres a garden growing in my soul
A flower dies, another blooms and so it goes

So I’ll ride this train to somewhere, Gonna face this crazy life
I can hear those bells a ringing, So I’ll head on down the line
Yes I’ll head on down the line

Lifting Spirits

A flower that grows crooked is still beautiful. A tree scarred by lightning shows character. A crack in the earth may become a lake filled with life. Imperfections do not make a thing unworthy and there is a great beauty found in hardship. We can’t always be dealt the best hand, but we must laugh when we are losing. We must love when we are down. We must sing straight through the storm. Only then will our weaknesses become our strengths. Only then will we know the truest form of peace.

Pull me under 
How many atoms does it take 
To keep me on the surface 
Looking out for something I don’t know 
Well this world 
Is a stone 

I swim for the lighthouse 
Hoping for some light to shine on me 
But no one left the light on 
So here I am singing through the sea 
Singing through the sea 

Low and behold 
I’ve been asking questions 
With answers only I could ever know 
Held below the surface 
By something that I cannot let go 
Well the truth 
Is a stone 

So I swim for the light house 
Hoping for some light to shine on me 
But no one left the light on 
So here I am singing through the sea 
Headed for the shipwreck 
Never caring once for my fate 
Surrender to the current 
Singing Hallelujah all the way 
Im on my way

Written and Recorded by Shane Young.

This Strange Love

Picture a lonely woman walking out of a restaurant. She has just been stood up. On her sooner than expected walk home she pulls a young man from the street just before he is hit by a car. She embraces him with blind compassion and tells him to be careful. 20 years later he is a renowned doctor and local figure. An older woman visits his ER one night after being hit by a car. He saves her life, only to realize that many years ago, she had already saved his. They once again embrace. Around every corner, there is an opportunity to love someone and we never know when that love may return to us. We are all connected in this great ebb and flow for reasons we may not understand, but when we give, sometimes we find a piece of the puzzle.

Lyrics:

Time, you know our time is gonna leave us
Time is something that we cannot hold
Someday we’re gonna find the mystery
When we walk, that lonesome road

The feeling of a moment or a memory
Both as true as how they came to be
Still it seems we find ourselves forgetting
Who we are, and what that means

But this strange love, it has it’s reasons
For the time that we share
This strange love, it never leaves us
And we know its always there

Heart and soul, a river to an ocean
One is life, the other how we live
With every turn we’re bound to face the mystery
That who we are, is what we give

But this strange love, it has it’s reasons
For the time that we share
This strange love, it never leaves us
And we know its always there

Forst For The Trees

As we journey through life, we must all face adversity. Each of our paths are unique and filled with twists and turns that make it easy to forget the way. Sometimes we are blinded by our own doubt and lose sight of who we really are. The hardest part is not always being lost, but to move forward and surrender to what we cannot control. As long as we stay true to who we really are, we will always remember how to fly and see the world from a better point of view.

Old English

Everyone is a captain of their own ship. At some point, even the best Captains can get lost. Everything from the current to the crew can influence our direction, but in the end, we must find our own way home.

Will you ever find the freedom that you’ve been aching for?
