Early Versions

If I Had Your Life – Solo Acoustic

This song was inspired by the death of one of my musical heroes: Chris Cornell…

Whether it was purposeful suicide or an accidental overdose, Chris was someone who — from an outsider’s perspective — had it all: incredible talent, a massive music career, adoring fans, a beautiful wife & family…and yet he just couldn’t seem to enjoy it.

So I put my frustration and realizations, into this song… 💖

Below you’ll also find the chords and lyrics to this song, as well as the audio from a band’s rehearsal in 2019.
