David Eugene Ivey

I See You

“I See You” It’s a song from David's upcoming “Driving” album, and it reflects one of the stories of his life. Originally written in 2002.

David shares, "I was going through a trial of understanding with what my family, my grandparents, and my ancestors, as a larger sense and sensibility were asking of me. I’m the child in this song. Here at your table… Looking out the windows. And I was asking a lot of them. I still am."

We hope you’ll check it out and download it to your family and traveling playlist.
