    Soundtrack: Matter by For King & Country & Cuddles by The Tired Flame

    July 9, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Bad Behavior: Protective Behavior by L.A. Witt & Cari Z

    The entire song resonates strongly with book. The lines “You felt the pain of a bitter defeat / Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet / It matters, Iโ€™m telling you it matters” reminds me of the scene where Mark visited the grieving family, looked the mother in the eye and promised to give her murdered son justice.

    Soundtrack to Bad Behavior: Cuddly Behavior by L.A. Witt & Cari Z

    Cuddly nonsense for the cats who rule our lives.

    All of the dreams that haven’t come true
    And all of the hurt that happened to you
    It matters, I hope you know it matters

    You felt the pain of a bitter defeat
    Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet
    It matters, I’m telling you it matters

    To the one who spoke and set the sun ablaze
    To the one who stopped the storm and walked the waves
    To the one who took the tree so He could say
    You matter, I hope you know you matter

    I know it’s not easy, not saying it’s fair
    But close as a prayer somebody cares
    You’re a treasure, I hope you know you’re treasured

    So hold your head high, wait for the dawn
    Keep hanging on, your sadness will turn into laughter
    Watch it turn into laughter, yeah

    You matter, heaven knows you matter

    Let the water spill from your eyes
    Let it wash the wounds of those lies
    Oh, let the water spill from your eyes
    All that you are, all that youโ€™ll be
    Someone put the beat in your heart so that youโ€™ll see
    You matter

    You matter, heaven knows you matter
    You matter, I hope you know you matter
    You matter, heaven knows you matter

  • quote,  Uncategorized
    October 13, 2020 / No Comments

    Are the walls to lock you in or to keep others away
    And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay
    The comfort of your misery you cherish dearly, you cherish dearly
    And you haven’t started dreaming ’cause you’re still fast asleep, you’re fast asleep

    Don’t you want to
    Run wild, live free
    Love strong, you and me

    You’re a lion full of power who forgot how to roar
    You’re an eagle full of beauty but you can’t seem to soar
    Will you return to the garden where we were first made whole
    Will you turn to the one who can liberate your soul

    Don’t you want to
    Run wild, live free
    Love strong, you and me
    Run wild, live free
    Love strong

    To every soul locked in a cage
    In the prison of your past mistakes
    No, there’s no time left to waste
    Yeah, you can make your great escape
    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
    We’re made to

    Run, Forrest, all depends what direction
    Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
    Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
    Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
    Some people run their block, bust shot with a 4-4-5 and
    That’s the environment, how we were raised
    Living like lions but trapped in a cage
    Back to Imago Dei with the blood of a king but the heart of a slave
    Don’t you wanna run

    Run wild, live free
    Love strong, you and me
    Run wild, live free
    Love strong

    To every soul locked in a cage
    In the prison of your past mistakes
    No, there’s no time left to waste
    Yeah, you can make your great escape
    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild

    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
    We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild

    If your soul’s locked in a cage
    You can make a great escape
    We’re made to run wild, live free
    Love strong, you and me

FLICKer: Now Itโ€™s Different #shortfilm

A poignant short film about rediscovery and hope. When a writer feels lost in the chaos of city life, he pours his heart into a love letter meant for someone special, someone heโ€™s never truly met.
