About Me

Through The Boughs' songs come from that place deep inside all of us where emotion and words come together in powerful, heartfelt songs that are meant to connect. They connect us with Love, Loss, Sadness, Joy, and the gift of Life. From the street gutter, to the cloud covered mountains, These songs are the journey, so far, that is Legend.

Born Beneath Branches

I hear your song on the wind,And I follow. Haunting, beautiful melody of a mystery born beneath branches.I see your eyes smile at me,And I smile. A headlong rush of Spirit, Sexuality, Need, Passion, a...

More Than This

Are the pristine views and bottled emotions that spill forth, up in the air with the clouds and perfectly refracted light, or messages sent from your impossibly beautiful eyes. Caught up in the momen...
