about

It takes more faith and courage to surrender than to not.

8 years, 3 albums and 2 record deals later, this song was written during a particularly strange and difficult time in my life, as evidenced by the somber mood and tone of the guitars and lyrics. Make no mistake, what your hearing here is a moment in which I had all but given up, and surrendered. I was exhausted, in a mentally and emotionally deflated state, and questioning every single choice I'd ever made.

The lesson I've since learned, that at times can still be difficult for me to accept, is that surrendering isn't and shouldn't be confused with giving in, or giving up. It's simply acknowledging to the universe that your way isn't and hasn't worked, and that you're now open for allowing to make way for something new. ~ Wil Martin

lyrics

"Hard To Say"

You gave it all, yet question
And wonder if it's all in vain
But if you could find the words to say
Would it matter anyway?
Maybe a little, but it's hard to say…
Hard to say

Who made your heart feel like it's made of thin
Recyclable old tin with skin and bones?
And who made your eyes turn from bright to dim?
And find yourself become like one of them

So now you sit there all alone…
Wondering if you've ever really ever known yourself

And if you could find the words to say
Would it matter anyway?
Maybe a little, but it's hard to say…
Hard to say

The Wil Martin Project image

The Wil Martin Project Los Angeles, California

Songs are both flashes of inspiration and thoughts that come slowly, quietly at first. They’re fleeting moments. Always moving. The duality of myself as an artist is that often my ideas manifest into the loud, crushing rock anthems or, they manifest into something barely more audible than a whisper, connecting with what’s deeper, below the surface.
