Todd Herzog

Tonight, i shed a tear as i read through a book Walking across Walden (download here) written by Todd Herzog while listening to his song If i only had the words.

Music, touches the core of my soul where no one can reach.



a study in alchemy… that's what Todd Herzog does.
(al•che•my: the power to transform something base into something precious.)

Todd Herzog is an artist who takes the raw material of his life experiences and creates inspirational, emotional pop music that affects his listeners.Herzog’s own wake-up call came when a dear friend passed away from Leukemia. Instead of losing faith in life, he chose to take this tragic loss and use it to motivate and inspire others to take full advantage of the time they are given. His healing process took the form of his debut album entitled “What I Wouldn’t Give.”

"If I Only Had The Words"

I feel you all around me
I know you must be here
Your beauty still surrounds me
Your voice is in my ears

I see you in the ocean
You're dancing on the shore
The sunset on the water
Makes your spirit soar

And your laughter lifts me up along the way
There're so many things I still have left to say

If I'd only had the words to tell you half the things I feel
you'd have understood so clearly
that my love for you was real
and I wish i'd had the courage to open up my heart
you'd have known that we could never be apart

The colors of your palette
Your canvas filled with greens
The strokes of your emotions
I see you in my dreams

Now the rose has finally opened
The petals filled with light
Now the vase is no longer broken
The thorns are out of sight

And your laughter lifts me up above my tears
I can hear you whisper softly in my ear:

If I only had the words to tell you half the things I feel...
you might understand the difference
Between illusion and what's real
then you'd finally have the courage to open up your heart
'cause you'd know that we could never be apart

now at last I have the words
to tell you all the things I feel
I still don't understand the reasons
and perhaps I never will
but I finally found the courage to open up my heart
because I know that we will never be apart
now I know that we will never be apart
