I wrote “Me, Myself, and I” during COVID-19 in September of 2021. I had just finished writing a love song after going through a pretty rough breakup. I called my sister-in-law Tyler and told her ”Hey I just wrote this beautiful love song and want you to hear it before I post it!” Well she listened to it and told me ”Wow, that’s an amazing song Wade! But you just went through a breakup, so I would hold onto that one until you fall in love again.” She went on, telling me how as much of roller coaster my life has been that I need to write a song about myself and my story and who I am today. I said ”So I need to write a song about me, myself, and I?” That day, during a lunch break, at Newk’s restaurant in Canton, GA, I sat down a wrote ”Me, Myself, and I”. To sum up the story, all credits from this song go to my sister-in-law!
In 2018, I got the opportunity to go out west with the family of a girl I was dating at the time. We flew out to Phoenix, AZ and drove to the Grand Canyon. We stayed a couple of days and… wow. Pictures really don’t do justice. After that, we drove through many towns in Colorado and stayed in Telluride for a few days, enjoying the mountains and scenery. Throughout this trip, many memories were made and it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I decided to write a song about it a few years later so I wouldn’t forget it called ”Everywhere She’d Wanna Go”.
“Pray” is a unique song I wrote right after having some time with the Lord one evening. Speaking for myself, my past relationships were never built on a spiritual foundation, and as you know, none of them lasted. This song brings out the importance and need for prayer in each relationship. The song also refers to how prayer can be forgotten and lots of us don’t just pray and thank God for what we have.
Back on 2021, I went through a rough breakup with someone I had promised forever to. After that, I blamed God and turned my back on everything and didn’t really care anymore about what I did for a few months. My best friend I met in college noticed and started pouring in me on how ”God has someone else for you. She wasn’t the one. We have a humble forgiving Father.” This really hit me and I started to say in my head ”Oh well, God’s going to give me another chance”, and I started to think about the fun I had before my marriage and after my marriage and now look forwards to doing it again, but the right way for the right reasons. I figured there’s a song in that, so i wrote ”Another Chance”
“Made For You”
My first ”full band” recorded song has some truth and false in it. Traveling through states and cities, by myself, single, and vulnerable, I’ve been nagged by many folks whether it’s early or late in my gig. Every other gig I’ve always been approached by women saying ”hey sugar, you got a place to stay tonight?” or even ”lets go grab a drink after this stranger”. It got to the point where people would come up and touch my guitar and even dance with me while I was playing. I had a bunch of words and thoughts in my head every time this would happen, so i wrote a song about it, and finished the song with coming home to where I belong.
