Why This Song Exists
I originally began writing Familiar in the summer of 2023. My family and I were back in my home state, visiting relatives, and — as I often do when I drive through Louisiana — I found myself reflecting.
During that trip, we spent time in a city I hadn’t visited since college. Standing there again, it was fascinating to realize just how much my life had changed since the last time I had been there. So much of it felt familiar — the roads, the memories, the atmosphere — but my reality and the direction of my life were completely different.
In that moment, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Gratitude for God’s faithfulness and for my wife — for the way my life had been shaped, protected, and redirected in ways I never could have planned on my own.
What I wanted to capture in this song was that feeling of gratitude — the kind that comes from being fully known and still fully loved.
Familiar is dedicated to God and to my wife.

How to listen
Familiar wasn’t written to be rushed.
If you can, listen to it in a quiet moment — on a drive, late at night, or with headphones on. Let it play without trying to figure it out right away. Some songs don’t reveal themselves instantly; they unfold over time.
You don’t need to be in a specific season for this song to resonate. Whether life feels steady, uncertain, or somewhere in between, my hope is that Familiar creates space for reflection rather than answers.
Pay attention to what feels familiar to you — the memories, emotions, or thoughts that surface as you listen. Sometimes the most meaningful parts of a song aren’t the lyrics themselves, but what they awaken in us.
