Romeo and Juliette is the age-old classic about two lovers. Though how realistic is that for everyone? This song re-imagines Romeo and Juliette with a smaller, sorta nerdy Romeo who's head over heels in love with a Juliette that doesn't love him back. I wondered what that scenario would look like, so I wrote it into a fun, quirky song. "Hold on, Juliette, I'm comin'!"

Most country music that touches on anything related to "love" deals with adult themes. But before we were adults we were all teenagers, and most of us had that teenage love. Especially younger boys, as I was once a younger boy, get very excited against spending time with their girlfriends -- we're just not too thrilled when their mama is there! So this is a fun little playful song about that. One of my favorites.

Simple country song about a guy comparing his heart, his life, to a home and trying to let the girl know that it's all ready to be her home, should she choose it. I wasn't sure the format I wanted to go with this, so I just went typical country-radio VCVCBC with it. Overall, I like how it came out.

A song about being in love...

Ein trauriges, aber hoffnungsvolles Lied. Ein Mensch muss gehen und lässt seine Lieben zurück. Doch es gibt einen hellen Stern, der sie als Zeichen der Hoffnung trösten kann.
