about

I wrote Love, Outlive Me in a deep trance, imagining how my inevitable death will feel like now that I have renounced my childhood religion and no longer believe in an after-life. Love, Outlive Me explores my feelings as I imagine closing the book of life after chapters of loving, hurting and enjoying existence in this body and this world. I finally found some peace in the knowledge that even though I can’t take any of this with me and this is the end, the love I feel and share with my friends and family is eternal and will live on beyond me.

lyrics

When my days are coming to an end
and I surrender to the pull of the unknown and unalive
Hazy in the trip of it all
Touching hands with those I love
The sting of making peace in final leave

All I am and all I know is in this home
What’s left beyond my thin skin and old bones?
I stand back and watch the ceiling start to fall
Will our love be caught within these aging walls?

I must believe love will outlive me
I must believe love will outlive me

Putting all I have into reviewing life in latitude
Renewing strife with gratitude and grace
Set the table made the bed
Whispered secrets that I fled
And after it was said
We held embrace

All I am and all I know is in this home
What’s left beyond my thin skin and old bones?
I stand back and watch the ceiling start to fall
Will our love be caught within these aging walls?

I must believe love will outlive me
I must believe love will outlive me
There must be more to life than body
I must believe love will outlive me
