God Bless, America

I’ve made it my mission this year to write one song per month. It wasn’t necessarily a resolution since I made it on New Years Day after writing a song called “Broken” about the beauty in brokenness. I just knew that I had it in my to do it, but I didn’t want to set myself up for unrealistic expectations. I’m happy to say that I’ve finished my seventh song of the year.

Since July celebrates American independence, and since those celebrations seem much more timid than in years past, I thought of how funny my girlfriend thought it was last month when I simply added a comma to “God Bless America”…
