For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That's not just physics, that's life. Sir Isaac Newton was just clever enough to write it down first. We see it everywhere. A dropped ball doesn't stay on the ground. It bounces back up. The planets swing around their stars, pushed and pulled by gravity's endless dance. Happiness and sadness, love and heartbreak. It's all part of that same rhythm. The bad things that happen to us can become the catalyst for something good. It's the ebb and flow of the universe itself. That's what this album is to me. I began writing and recording this concept album in my small bedroom studio while undergoing treatment for Stage IV metastatic cancer. It became my own kind of therapy. A place to set down the weight of the heavy things, free my mind and focus on something I could control. In those moments, I learned to face my daily fears, acknowledge the people I love, and ponder the big questions- what life is, what it means, and how we all must accept that it doesn't last forever. I hope people find something in these songs that resonates. Perhaps it's that dreams can come true, that not all monsters are invincible, and that ultimately, the universe is simply what we choose to make of it. As for me, I'm still in the fight. I'm optimistic about the future because I've come to believe the harder you fall, the higher you bounce back. At least that's what Sir Isaac said."
