Oh Are you all right? Are you lost? Do you need guidance? Follow me this way And watch your step Don't fall too far behind We're not out of the woods quite yet Look up And find the sun Oh, it's afternoon You're heading to the west Oh, you'll be there soon Follow me this way And watch your step Don't fall too far behind We're not out of the woods yet You've made it this far You'll make it through You're doing better than you know And I'm not giving up on you La, da, da We're here

about

The Park Ranger is a concept album that takes the listener on a firsthand journey into the woods. You enter, get curious about where the river goes, decide to forge your own path into the wilderness — and realize you're lost. After coming across a spooky burned-down cabin and taking in the stunning depth of the woods, you're finally discovered by the Park Ranger, who kindly leads you back out of the forest with a few well-placed words of encouragement.

I wrote this album to put something out into the world that people might be able to hold onto when they need some encouragement, when they need to hear that someone believes in them. (I need that too sometimes.)

Go on a quick, deep journey and be found in the forest by The Park Ranger.
