about

On a whim, I decided to record a few tracks that I was hesitant about because they were different. Different not in a bad way. Just different in that some of the content of them is touchy stuff for me and I wasn't sure how I felt about sharing it. After some thought, I decided that this is the kind of stuff one must get out in the open. Its part of a special EP called "The October Sessions" which I will release one track per month for awhile while I prepare for the next album. I purposely kept these tracks sounding raw, imperfections and all. This is Kristen's first contribution to my music and she did a great job. Her violin really adds to my sound and I'm so lucky to have her! Hope you enjoy!

lyrics

Its been four long years and I'm still searching here
feeling those cons outweigh the pro's at times, its near
draggin my feet on through these endless swamps of tears
doing the right thing never seemed any more clear

Got this chance so tell me why can't I just go
Been saying for so long if only it were so
But I been called to do what I do best I know
In between love and your hate I'm in limbo

Tell me why can't
I ever run, away from you
Is it something I said now
or something I, forgot to do
Puttin my heart out
on that table, black and blue
there was a time in
my old life, when I knew

Well its been 6 longs years and I'm still standing here
feeling the need to keep on pushing through these fears
I ain't the best I ain't the worst but one things clear
Been looking in the mirror for too long my conscious clears

Dan Littlefield El Granada, California

Dan Littlefield, a singer/songwriter out of California, has broken the seal wide open with The Hills We Knew. Littlefield’s slight southern tone gives his music a unique sound. Not only is he a skilled singer, though. He is also a skilled guitar player and songwriter. From start to finish, this album is nothing less than brilliant. The Hills We Knew does not consist of one single mediocre song. ... more
