About David

I write beach country from the Gulf Coast of Florida — songs about long weekends, salt air, small towns and the people you keep coming back to. Sarasota is home, and it shows up in almost everything.

Every song here has its own page, with the lyrics and the story behind it.

More about me
Behind the Song

If I'm being honest

Most of us have a sentence we say a hundred times a week. "I'm good." "Doing fine." "Can't complain." It's polite, it's quick, and a lot of the time it isn't strictly true.
