**Released 11/04/2024** _All That Ails Us_ began years ago with a song called _The Alien._ The idea was simple: what would we do if an alien actually came down and landed here? How would we react? Looking back on those lyrics now, the song speaks to me more about how we treat outsiders, anyone who doesn’t fit our mold. That theme of “the other” became the heart of this album, and from there, _All That Ails Us_ started to take shape. In these songs, I wanted to explore the struggles, influences, and conflicts we face every day—some of our own making, some thrust upon us by others. Each track looks at a different facet of our world, from media manipulation to power struggles to our tendency to follow or fear. My hope is that people listen and feel something resonate, maybe see a bit of our shared world, and perhaps even a bit of themselves, in these stories. **Listen on:** - [iTunes](https://music.apple.com/us/album/all-that-ails-us/1776481040) - [YouTube Music](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m2vbH23-PFLNYQJJBM8VadR0SnPdXtbKk) - [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.com/albums/B0DL45D4JV) Find the lyrics here: [[music/lyrics/All That Ails Us|All That Ails Us]]
