Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing. I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.

Lyrics
Freedom –John Martindale While I felt strong I tried to build a wall It kept me safe, though I could hear the enemy taunt But I grew tired of my captivity So I began to tear it down, one brick at a time One small compromise and the rest came crashing down And now I am wondering, having been trampled by my enemy Why would I tear down what protected me And I am standing here, having been robed of everything I treasured in my heart, because I longed for freedom Freedom To look with hollow eye’s at that which cannot satisfy Freedom to let my heart be numbed, making my mind like tomb So my flesh could be free to do what it wants to and feast At the cost of Your time, at the cost of peace, at the cost joy and liberty And communion with You And now I am wondering, having been trampled by my enemy Why would I tear down what protected me I am standing here, having been robbed of everything I treasured in my heart, because I longed for freedom Freedom to just exist like an animal, to just live and go by how I feel Freedom to remove these chains, which bind my flesh So it can be released and do what it pleases and feast At the cost of time, at the cost of peace, at the cost joy and liberty And communion with You I want to be a slave again, a slave to righteousness Only then do I have liberty to do what truly makes me happy I want to be a slave again, a slave to righteousness Only then can I walk with You and be filled with Your fullness I want to be a slave again, a slave to righteousness For freedom to indulge in sin only brings hell on earth within I want to be a slave again, a slave to righteousness For you reward me with life and peace, you fill me with joy and love
