It's a sideways glance from a curious girl hanging off the back of a trollycar, the empty stare of an elderly gentleman in line at the soup kitchen, a pat on the back from your high school coach after you lose the big game. It's the little things that make you realize these connections between us are real and invaluable. The Ties That Bind has existed in one form or another since the fall of 2005. This past year we finally solidified our lineup and we're now in the process of writing and recording some new material. The idea is simple: relationships with God and other people are the most important things in life so all of our songs are based on them.

"This City Never Sleeps" - Behind the Lyrics Sep 2
This City Never Sleeps
Concrete and window panes
Bright lights in the pouring rain
And this city never sleeps inside of me.
There's no hope in neon signs
So I read between the lines
of chalk she's scribbled all over my streets.
I'm just some telephone wires ...

Thanks. No I actually haven't done much photography for people other than myself.
