Still Water Lyrics


Can a knife cut through your still water?
In the mountain hides a sweet daughter
Like a bird I fly through the ages
And this is how I turn back my pagesWith everything under, the rain and the thunder they pull
Melodies open, the bird it has spoken in full
Down on the river, the boat man delivered the name
And now I repeat it to swallow the secret untamedCan a knife cut through your still water?
In the mountain hides a sweet daughter
Like a bird I fly through the ages
And this is how I turn back my pagesTo the back, to the back
Back when the sweet moon song never lacked
Back when the land was filled with warriors
Euphoria, that was a fact
Back when I never ever counted those leaves on the trees
We jumped those seas
Back when the fable was strong
All night long
Back when the love was the key, you see

Well the boat man gave me a name
Now I repeat it, constantly feed it
I need it, all wise men seek it
In my heart I keep it
Now that the earth is turning real fast
Now hold on strong just to make it all last
This storm, it soon shall pass
Give thanks and praise at last
The house of song is ash
(?) whispers from my past
Tell them all the bird is leaving its cage
Heard that word from a great great sage
On a different page
I don't speak hollow
These words are faux, come follow
And if you seek tomorrow
The rains will wash your sorrow
Bless...

Greetings. My name is Trevor. I play music…and love doing it. It has been a wonderful teacher, friend, and companion over the years. This is the part where I tell you a little about my life… so far. I grew up in South Carolina until the age of 16. I had a wonderful childhood, a great family, and good friends. I started playing music fairly young. My dad was a drummer and a musician himself. I guess I got some of his genes. Every day after school, I would come home, pick up my guitar, and write songs for a couple hours. It was my favorite time of the whole day. I began playing for my parents, who supported me to the fullest. For my 15th or 16th birthday, my dad got me some time in his friend's recording studio. I made my first record, which was mostly sold to my friends and family. It was at that time when my family and I started taking the music more seriously.

In 10th grade, I was very fortunate to have traveled to California to attend Idyllwild School for the Arts, an international boarding school east of Los Angeles. My time there was some of the best years of my life. I studied classical guitar and met many wonderful people from around the world who greatly influenced my life in a profound way. My greatest lesson there was observing how art spoke to everyone…no matter what race, what faith, or what country you were from. I saw how it brought people together, and that made me feel good.

In my senior year of high school, I signed a record deal with Geffen Records. After graduation, I moved to LA to give my music full attention. I was very blessed to have worked with great producers such as John Alagia (John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews) and The Laboriel Brothers (Sting, Paul Mccartney). Unfortunately, other than an EP, none of the records I made with Geffen ever came out. They dropped me from the label in 2008. But that didn't deter me. I picked up my guitar, wrote 14 new songs, and recorded an acoustic album with my good friend/percussionist Chris Steele. We have named that album "This is Blue." It was a wonderful, liberating experience. I feel very lucky to still have the opportunity to create music with good friends and people.

Over the years, I have toured and played with wonderful acts such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Matisyahu, Stevie Nicks, Ben Harper, Colbie Caillat, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley, Rusted Root, and many others. It has been such a blessing to cross paths with so many beautiful people and wonderful musicians. They all have influenced me so much.

My favorite part of the whole thing thus far is meeting new people on the road. It is funny how people come together, connect, and establish friendships. I never knew that I would have friends in Peoria, Illinois or Vail, Colorado. Through music, we have all been able to come together, share our ideas and love, and then move on. I cannot express how thankful I am to all the fans who have supported me over the years. I have truly greatly enjoyed meeting all of you. I hope we get to cross paths again soon.

Thanks for taking the time to read a little bit about my journey. I hope that your travels are going smoothly and unfolding nicely. Until we meet again…

So much love
Trevor
