Testimonial

“You nailed the sound, the emotion, the music! They will love it. They are together in Italy while my son is on a week’s leave of sorts. I am sending it to them now. Thank you and everyone involved for all their work and great talent. ”

— Andrew Lashus (Billings, MT)

Story Behind the Song

This Life That We Live tells the story of what happens in a relationship when one member has to be away. The lyricist as lover tells the beloved, “That lonely day you walked away/the sun shone so bright/But I couldn’t feel the light.” When the beloved is “a world away” across an ocean, on a deployment, on a job, all that can be is “hoping they will be safe… for our next embrace.” If you are someone with an absent love, or if you know someone with an absent love, listen. Feel the love and the pain behind, “I know it has to be/It is what it is/ This Life That We Live.”
