about

I thank Matthew Byers, for being an inspiration in music community, not only to me but everyone who come his way. He also is a supporter from first album and chipped in when I asked for help. For this album, Matthew inspired me to create a Daf track called "Life Force", based on a poem he recently read by -Laura McBride, We Are Called to Rise.
I hope you enjoy this song Matthew!

lyrics

"It all matters. That someone turns out the lamp, picks up the windblown wrapper, says hello to the invalid, pays at the unattended lot, listens to the repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, plays the game fairly, tells the story honestly, acknowledges help, gives credit, says good night, resists temptation, wipes the counter, waits at the yellow, makes the bed, tips the maid, remembers the illness, congratulates the victor, accepts the consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last, chooses the small portion, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, touches the lonely, is the whole thing. What is most beautiful is least acknowledged. What is worth dying for is barely noticed."

— Laura McBride, We Are Called to Rise
