Welcome to the third episode of Song-A-Week!
This week's song was inspired in by a quote sent in by Molly Goodwin:
"Sometimes your only mode of transportation is a leap of faith." - Margaret Shepard
I had been wanting to write an up-tempo Summer driving song for a while, and this idea totally inspired me to accept the challenge! The video was shot on the return trip from visiting family back in Ohio, and the whole thing was written, shot, and edited in 48 hours.

lyrics
Bigger, Better Soon
I can feel the wheels rolling
On 65
I've been waiting for the summer
Just to feel alive
Got no gas in my tank
But I'm not afraid
'Cause the only way I move
Is by a leap of faith
Drive, until the sky turns blue
Oh try, just gotta make a move
Oh I'm alive, so what have I got to lose but
Bigger, Better, Soon
Got my head lights bright
Cause' the road's not clear
I leave the sun of yesterday
In my rear view mirror
And try as I might
To pick up the pace
The only way I move
Is by a leap of faith
CHORUS
Speak up world, I wanna listen
Tell me all that I've been missing
SOLO
CHORUS
I can feel the wheels rolling
On 65
I've been waiting for the summer
Just to feel alive
Got no gas in my tank
But I'm not afraid
'Cause the only way I move
Is by a leap of faith
Drive, until the sky turns blue
Oh try, just gotta make a move
Oh I'm alive, so what have I got to lose but
Bigger, Better, Soon
Got my head lights bright
Cause' the road's not clear
I leave the sun of yesterday
In my rear view mirror
And try as I might
To pick up the pace
The only way I move
Is by a leap of faith
CHORUS
Speak up world, I wanna listen
Tell me all that I've been missing
SOLO
CHORUS

-
Kenny and I grew up as writers and musical brothers together. I couldn't feel more proud of what he's put out on his new release, and you owe it to your ears to get this in them.

All my friends have a CD... I want one too.
