Song information
This is one of the songs we recorded together when I was back in New Zealand recently for my daughter’s wedding.

It’s a tribute to the people in the music industry who’ve seen me grow from my 20s to where I am now, and to whatever the future holds for my music — and for these two amazing artists I’m lucky to work with.

Lyrics
Verse 1 

Little hands on daddy's guitar, strings too wide to hold 

Every chord a mountain then, every note was gold 

He showed me how the music breathes, how the silence sings 
Now I carry all those lessons in these weathered strings

Chorus

Here's to the music makers, the dreamers down the road 
Everyone who showed me how to lighten up my load 

From the stages to the side doors, from the laughter to the tears 

You're the melody that's carried me across these years

Verse 2

Twenty-something in a folk band, learning how to blend 
Harmonies in coffee shops, voices 'round the bend 

They taught me less is sometimes more, and how to share the light 

How a song belongs to everyone who sings it through the night

Chorus

Here's to the music makers, the dreamers down the road 
Everyone who showed me how to lighten up my load 

From the stages to the side doors, from the laughter to the tears 

You're the melody that's carried me across these years

Bridge

Then I found my own voice rising, stepping to the front 
Learned the rush of solo spotlights, giving what I want 

Industry folks with open doors, some that closed again 

Each one left a fingerprint, made me who I am

Chorus

Here's to the music makers, the ones still yet to meet 

Every soul who hears the rhythm in their heartbeat 

From my father's old guitar to wherever this road leads

You're the chorus I keep singing, you're the company I need
