Words don't really help you understand Kris or what he does, you just have to listen to it and be around him or you'll really never get the right idea. What is important is that he speaks from his heart and he speaks the truth as he sees it, and he doesn't back down or change it for anyone. The music is meant to encourage you to look deeper than the surface, to try to better yourself, and to promote love most of all.

Kris's music is full of uncommon harmony and sobering lyrics, we know that- but since we're not exactly sure what to term what he calls his "confidently delicate folk rock", here are his own thoughts on some of his songs:

I'll Trade Heaven

"Sadness that turns to frustration that turns to anger but ultimately returns to, and is only ever outwardly expressed as, sadness. That's how it often goes for me, and this song describes that. I have a really hard time getting over things, and I'll replay things in my mind over and over, usually resulting in them appearing much worse than they are. This is a really sad song."

Next Time

"This is one of the only songs that I ever wrote to depict how someone else feels. I really don't think I'm qualified to do that most of the time. Something compelled me to do it in this case though, and I'm really proud of this song. On the surface it sounds like a tale of lost love, and it is, but perhaps not in the way it seems. I'll leave it at that...if I wrote it well, people will understand what it's really describing. And if not, then I guess it's my own fault!"

I'll Never Be the Same

"This song is about my mom. My mom has had a hard life, and she doesn't deserve it. The chords are very dense and pensive to me, and I talk about how she has given me so much, and never asked for anything. The music finally opens up at the end, when I make the defiantly optimistic promise that I will give her all she's ever wanted- I promise, I'll succeed."

Good Enough

"Definitely how I think about the world, this one. Living at 'good enough' is not what life is about. Everyone wants things to be easy. Everyone says honesty is so important, but in reality what they mean is that they want you to be honest with them if it's in their favor. People only want to hear something if it's what they perceive as 'positive'- well, the truth doesn't always sound flattering and sugarcoated. But the truth is the only way. To me, being dishonest to sugarcoat something for someone, instead of saying the honest truth, is not being 'nice'- it's being disrespectful. If you respect someone, tell them the truth, challenge them- face the truth and live your life for all its worth."
