The Open Door To Me

The Open Door to Me

Some of the strongest doors we build aren't made of steel. They're the ones we build around our hearts.

The Open Door to Me was written from the realization that love always requires vulnerability. Whether it's opening ourselves to God, to family, to friends, or to the person we hope to become, every meaningful relationship begins with the willingness to let someone in.

For many of us, that's easier said than done.

Life has a way of teaching us to protect ourselves. Rejection, disappointment, failure, and fear can slowly convince us that keeping the door closed is safer than risking another wound.

But I've discovered something different.

God doesn't wait for us to have everything figured out before He enters our lives. He meets us exactly where we are—with our questions, our imperfections, and our brokenness. He doesn't ask us to become someone else before opening the door. He simply asks us to open it.

That's what this song is about.

Debut Video 'SUMMERTIME'

Some Songs Ask to Be Heard.

This Song Invites You to Remember.

"Summertime," the new single and music video from Surrendered Souls, is a reflection on the passage of time—how childhood quietly becomes adulthood, how ordinary moments become treasured memories, and how the people we love shape the story we live and leave behind.

More than a song about nostalgia, "Summertime" invites listeners to rediscover the beauty hidden within everyday life before it quietly slips into memory. Like a mirror, it reflects the moments, relationships, and experiences that connect us all, inviting listeners to see pieces of their own lives within its story.

The cinematic music video brings that journey to life through real family photographs, following a lifetime of joy, loss, love, and hope across generations. Each image serves as a reminder that life's most meaningful moments are often the ones we never realize we're living until they become memories.

"Summertime" introduces Surrendered Souls' upcoming 12-song album, releasing July 10. While the music moves comfortably between...Read More

Behind the Music 'The Beat Goes On'

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:42:54 -0700

The Beat Goes On was written for my friend and drummer, Danny Stahl. We shared the stage together years ago, making music and creating memories that neither of us imagined would one day become so precious.

Like so many friendships, time carried us in different directions. But the rhythm of those years never really left.

When Danny passed away, I wanted to write something that celebrated more than the loss. I wanted to celebrate the joy he brought to every stage, every rehearsal, every laugh, and every life he touched. The song isn't about saying goodbye. It's about recognizing that while a heartbeat may stop, the impact a person leaves behind continues to echo through the people who loved them.

Music has a unique way of keeping people with us. Every time the chorus rises, every time the drums drive the song forward, I'm reminded that some rhythms never truly end.

That's what The Beat Goes On means to me.

It's a celebration of friendship, gratitude, and the belief that the influence of a life well lived continues long after the final note fades.

Because love leaves an echo. And the beat goes on.
