White Flags by Schrachee

9 songs and 13 musings on life. can it get more boring?

this album was a labor of love (and more often anxiety) and could not have been created without the care, feedback, and support of the chicago music community.

featuring barry jean fontenot, kristen merritt, korin bukowski, taylor molandro, & many more

dedicated to sharon joy ruttenberg

***********************

what are your white flags?

what will you surrender, set aside, or sacrifice, for what really matters?

what can you give up when you take a deep breath and count to ten?

we have flags that tell us what to seek, what to avoid, and what lies somewhere in between.

but how often do we look to ourselves, and ask what we would offer up for the life we want?

what are we willing to give up? And what’s important enough to give up something for?

what are your white flags?
