For twenty years, I have walked alongside music
through countless encounters and farewells,
through moments of hope and moments of doubt.
As I reached this milestone, I found myself pausing,
and from the feeling of starting once more from zero,
this album Crawl was born.
Crawl to move forward like a baby learning to crawl.
Even if you can't walk well,
even if you can't move forward smoothly,
you still take small steps, little by little.
In this word, I found a return to my beginnings
a desire to reconnect with the very roots of my music.
Though I've been hurt and lost my way at times,
whenever the music begins to play,
I find myself moving forward again.
This album holds that truth,
and everything I have carried through these twenty years.
