1. Don't Leave Before Me

 

Inspired by a deeply emotional season of uncertainty and reflection, this song explores the fear of imagining life without the person who has become part of your very identity. Written from the perspective of enduring love and lifelong companionship, Don’t Leave Before Me honors the quiet moments, shared history, and emotional bond that make some relationships feel impossible to replace.

5. Unicorns and Rainbows

 

Written as a son's tribute to his mother on his wedding day, Unicorns and Rainbows reflects on a lifetime of unconditional love, encouragement, and selfless sacrifice. What began as a family joke about Mom always seeing the world through "unicorns and rainbows" becomes a powerful realization that her optimism, faith, and unwavering support helped shape the man he became. It is a moving thank-you to the first person who taught him what true love looks like.
