“Small Joys” is a country pop ballad about a working father who finds meaning in the small moments that make it all worthwhile. Long days, sacrifices, and quiet choices… all leading to the joy waiting for him when he gets home. A reminder that it’s not the big wins, but the little things, that make life worth living.

A bluesy, reflective ballad about youth, love, and the seasons that shape us, “It Finds It’s Way Back” captures the warmth of days gone by and the quiet beauty of growing older. With golden light, drifting leaves, and memories that never quite fade, it’s a reminder that the best parts of life never really leave us… they just linger in the air.
A second song inspired by the timeless words of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s 1896 poem “Merry Autumn.”

Porchlight and Vermouth
Porchlight and Vermouth feels like a quiet toast to the in-between moments—the kind that don’t ask for attention but linger anyway. Set on a warm evening porch, it drifts through the glow of a single light, where time slows just enough for memory and meaning to catch up.
The song leans into a mellow, reflective mood, blending a touch of vintage charm with lived-in honesty. Vermouth in hand, the narrator watches the world settle—thinking about love that stayed, love that slipped, and the small, steady comforts that remain. There’s no rush here, just the soft hum of night, a glass half full, and the sense that maybe this is what peace sounds like.
It’s a song about aging with grace, finding richness in simplicity, and learning that not every story needs a grand ending—some just need a porchlight left on.

“Stay Away from the Basement Door” is one of the featured songs off the “Just Imagine Dragons” album scheduled to go on sale on June 10, 2026 through Bandcamp.
The song is about summers spent at Auntie’s house that are full of feasts, games, and laughter—but one place is strictly off-limits: the basement below.
With tales of a grumbling dragon and mysterious warnings, Auntie keeps the princesses away. What they don’t know is that Gildy isn’t a monster at all—just a lonely dragon hoping for a chance to play. The Auntie and the Dragon’s Lair brings a touch of humor and heart to the ‘Just Imagine Dragons’ story world.
