Jay Yarbrough

For me, songwriting has never been about ego. It’s not even about “me.” Music is a channeling process — I step out of the way and let the song come through as it wants to be.

Every song has its own spirit, its own truth. My role is to listen closely, give it space, and allow it to be what it naturally is. The words, the melodies, the moods — they arrive like visitors, and my job is simply to host them.

Over the years this process has led to hundreds of songs, from the power and intensity of my early band The Mind to the deeply personal work I share today. Each piece reflects something larger than myself: experiences, emotions, and currents that feel both human and beyond human.

If you find connection in these songs, it’s because they were never “mine” to begin with. They were always meant for sharing.
