This song is about thanking God for being with me in good or bad and saving me. I'm a rocker at heart so if you can hear the rock tones in my head you would get it. There is a guitar solo in here and I am NOT a soloist so please don't criticize that

We celebrated our 30th. wedding anniversary on the 5th. of September 2023. My wife Valery asked me to write a song to commemorate the occasion,which I happily accepted. My mission was to cram 30 years of marriage into 3 or 4 minutes. Verse 1 was easy, because it's about us meeting, falling in love and making a commitment to continue on. The hardest part was writing verse 2. It speaks about us raising our 2 children Jasmyn and Brandon in better times, trying to do the right things, by keeping them as far away as possible from the negative things of this world. It then speaks of the worse storm we had to experience, which was losing Brandon in a car accident at the age of 18 in the year 2018. Verse 3 is why we are still here today together, because of the healing power of faith and prayers. We will stay loving each other for a lifetime or a hundred years, which ever comes first, by God's grace. This song is very relatable to almost every couple, because we all go through good times and storms in our relationships and we can survive if we believe in love and have faith. I can see many artists in Country, Adult Contemporary, Pop and RnB singing "A Lifetime or a Hundred Years".

This is how I feel about my wife all of the time, and I let her know it everyday.

I live in the tropics on an island called Saint Lucia, where tourism is our main revenue earner. During my interactions with hotel guests, I came up with the inspiration for this song. To spend Christmas in the Caribbean during the winter months, would be an ideal way to enjoy the holidays. That's the reason why the tourists arrival statistics are the highest between December and January every year, especially from North America & Europe.

The story of my life after losing my son Brandon in a car accident. Everything went down hill from there. Not only did someone try to take my life in a car jacking attempt only 4 months after Brandon's passing, but I also lost a few very close family members within the space of 2 years. I felt like I was being attacked both spiritually, emotionally and physically by the enemy himself (Satan). However, I never gave up on living and my faith in God and the tightness of the relationship I share with my wife and daughter are the reasons why I'm still here and feeling stronger today. I do believe with all my heart that God has a powerful purpose for me, and that my music is one of the mediums through which I must fulfill his purpose.

A good friend of mine was going through a separation, and when he told me the story of what happened, I was inspired to compose "Starting over where we left off".

A hug is the best medicine known to mankind - and we all sure need one: in the morning, at the end of the day and as often as possible squeezed in between!

Troubled Relationship.
