“when words fail…try music”

 
 
 

Daniel Pratt | Villa Bay

It doesn’t take much of living to quickly learn that life isn’t a controlled environment. You don’t always get to call the shots. Life is full of setbacks. The setbacks in life shouldn’t be a surprise.... they're expected. But The harder the set back the more potential we have to change course, gain a new perspective, or try something new. And some just are the lucky enough to get hit by life so hard they cease to exist.....and then..... they rebirth. 

Villa Bay is a small neighborhood street in an average suburban American city.  It’s nothing special and it’s nothing to write home about. Buts it’s where I died and came back to life. It’s where I spent time crying and praying, laughing and singing. It’s where I was quarantined during the most bizarre year of our century. It’s where Life hit me the hardest, and it’s where I’ll forever be thankful that it did. These songs are documents of a heart coming back to life. They’re time capsules of what it looks like to feel again. They’re snippets of a journey awakening to wonder. There intimate and honest. 

I was lucky. Life hit me. And I’m forever grateful did. Most likely it will hit me again in the future on another day on a different street. But I’ll forever be grateful for the journey of life I experienced on Villa Bay.
