about
Inspired by some guitar doodling by my good friend Caleb Porche, this song is about the rather frightening beauty of a world filled with paradox and nuance. In the end, perhaps there is nothing to be done but to join the tempestuous dance.
lyrics
Black is white but life is grey;
Day brings light but light brings shame.
I want to hide my tears in the pouring rain,
But I’m afraid to step outside,
'Cause I know I’m just not alright;
If I were a bird I wouldn’t care to fly.
I find life in the death of day,
And I find peace within the fray,
But life and peace too slowly fade away,
'Cause innocence takes forever to find,
And I don’t live my life with forever in mind;
I’m busy searching for a smile to hide behind.
As these stormclouds roll across my lonesome skies,
There’s no hiding, there’s no shelter for me this time;
So hey there, hurricane, it’s now or never, you and I.
Black is white but life is grey;
Death is life but life is pain.
I long to cry these tears in Your pouring rain;
So hey there, hurricane, it's now or never, you and I.

The Kept Collective is a group of independent artists (musicians, dancers, poets, and playwrites) tucked away in the Northeast corner of Tennessee looking to make the world a more thoughtful, hopeful, and beautiful place.
This album is a sonic adventure from start to finish, encompassing a wide range of styles from song to song (and even within the songs themselves). Treat yourself to this mellifluous journey. The Kept Collective
