I won’t go chasing tornadoes
Though I want to be caught up
I’ve had the worst of the no throes
Lord knows I’m enough

You will be my destiny
As we discover, we believe
Send a verse in the bottled sea
A psychedelic clock is what I’ll be

(Tornadoes… What I’ll be…)

I’m gonna wait for my side to come out
And the pomegranates of your heart
Hands will meet as we make our vow
Painting a new work of art

A hidden canvas is so heavy
Taking out my doubt so I can see
Shapely skin with a crimson seed
A long time ago you set me free

(Tornadoes… What I’ll be…) 

Follow your heart, live your dream, happiness is yours to take
Never give up, your energy, love this life and embrace the change

(and break the chains)

All inside the storm for better or worse
And we know things will get better soon
Flying through the vortex like we rehearsed
Taking on this monsoon

Crafting a name for a king and queen
A miracle book - my imagining
Cast it right and there’s no more fear
A perfect love can be found here

(safe and effective was a big f*cking lie)

Better watch what you eat, ‘cause you are what you eat.
Got fluoridated water coming out of your sink.
Got a toxic jab going in your arm.
Bet you thought it wouldn’t do no harm.

Now riddle me this and don’t be a snitch:
How does bat soup cause a 7-year itch?
Lock down the science and follow the money
Give ‘em their own medicine ‘cause this ain’t funny

CHORUS
The expert clan of the medical man
Loading their guns with the liquid clam
Knocking them down with one or two shots
I’m pure blood and I’m not gonna clot

The expert clan of the medical man
QR codes in the master plan 
Grow your own food that’s not gonna rot
Cause these politicians are always bought
 
VERSE 2

Standing in line at the W
“You can get your vaccine and go shopping too”
 Double up your mask and listen to Fauci
Can’t think for themselves, so they got the ouchie

And why'd you demonize this common cure
Hydroxycloroquin works for sure
Now fact check this, you Nazi Zuck bots
How come their blood is starting to rot?

CHORUS
The expert clan of the medical man
Loading their guns with the liquid clam
Knocking you down with one or two shots
Yo I’m pure blood and I’m not gonna clot

The expert clan of the medical man
QR codes in the master plan 
Grow your own food that’s not gonna rot
Cause these politicians are always bought

VERSE 3

I wrote this on November 8th
And I vote with my voice, can you relate?
This planned pandemic won’t be the last
And they’ll sacrifice you for a gallon of gas

Acting like more government’s the cure
Revolution’s the solution - of that I’m sure
Tell them to take the needle and shove it
And keep your 2A to rise above it

CHORUS

[VERSE]
Slow drag...
Take it easy...
You wanna come around
But you’re just not there
Are you with me?

Hot damn...
Can you feel it...?
The rains will come
When you least expect
Are you in love?

[CHORUS]
Space witch is on the attack
You know he’s not coming back
A murder or a suicide
That’s not for sure

(Are you in love?) 
Are you in love?
… are you?

[VERSE]
Frances...
Took a year off...
Ascended alligator
And a couple of fools
Are you in love?

Cobain...

Are you sleeping?

[intro] (America... America, here we go!) 

[Verse] Hey, hey, listen up, here comes the storm, Orange is the new black, and Trump's on the form. twenty twenty four he's back in the game, MAGA chants loud, feel the power feel the fame. 

[Chorus] Trump's in the White House, back for more, Grab your red hats, we're gonna roar (yeah!) From the left to the right, all eyes on this scene, This time Trump is the 47th king! 

[Verse] Economy is booming, I'm feeling swell Finishing the wall, with stories to tell. He's got the tweets, he's got the flair, In a world where truth is just thin air. 

[Bridge] Critics cry foul, but he's playing his hand, In a country divided, where did we stand? He's riding the wave, controversial claims, now he's the victor, in America's name. 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3] Now we all make it great, again and again, With his brand of politics, he has to win. The media's buzzing, the nation's split, Trump's coming back, and he will fix it! 

[Outro] So whether you love him or hate the sight, He's got the power, he's won the fight. With a rap-rock anthem, we're laying it down, Trump's back in power, how does that sound?

(single)

The MAGA Anthem

Weaponize my population
I’m gonna need a new destination
Labyrinth laboratories do 
Follow the rat in front of you
   
Media machine is in my face
Got no time to contemplate
Took the job and went to hell
Revolution, might as well!

(chorus)
Hey now, what could it be?
Feels just like insanity (yeah)
Watch my world, crumble down
Getting out of crazy town!

(v2)
Grab my shotgun, answer the door
Revolution is on the floor
They’re gonna blast the fools, my dear
Step up now, your time is near

Get that chemical outta my brain
Locked up on the crazy train
If you hear me, you can shout
We’re not done ’til the lights go out!

(chorus)

(bridge)
The warriors of our times
They wouldn’t hold the line
They sold out their minds
For what…?

[intro]
i'm standing here in line and i see her all the time
it's that girl with the dark red hair
at the cafe where she's grinding is it true love i am finding?
it's that girl with the dark red hair

then she took her break time with me and a phone number she slipped me
it's that girl with the dark red hair
and you asked me if i kissed her but that's not your business mister,
it's that girl with the dark red hair

[chorus]
yeah that girl with the dark red hair
yeah that girl would you stop and stare
yeah that girl that girl she is the prettiest in my world,
that girl with the dark red hair

[verse 2]
then we went out to the park just a little after dark. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
and I brought my new guitar but we didn't get that far. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
now she's holding on my arm like a cutie good-luck charm. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
we'll carve our names into the tree and it'll last a century. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair (ooooh)

[chorus]

[bridge]
And there's not enough time for all that I want to do
Not enough time, for every kiss
Not enough time for all that I want to do
(We're running out of time... yeah)

[verse]
now she's sitting in my bedroom and I think I need some head room
you're the girl with the dark red hair
and she looks into my eyes, and it makes me feel so high
you're the girl with the dark red hair
should I ask her for permission, or will I keep on wishin'
you're the girl with the dark red hair
and then to my great surprise, she laid me down and I
got the girl with the dark red hair!

[chorus]

[verse]
you've been watching the atom bomb show
why don't you get off your ass now
go run a mile naked if you can
call me when you get done!

[chorus]
hey why don't we go fishing
and we'll catch all the little blue fishies
but I don't like the toxic seafood
so I guess we'll just get Mexican

[verse]
you've been watching the atom bomb show
why don't you go smoke some grass now
go run a mile naked in the woods
call me if you had fun!

[chorus]
hey why don't we go surfing
and we'll check out all the pink ladies
but I don't like to wear a full suit
so I guess we'll just get wet again

[bridge]
up from the dust we came
nobody knows our names
back to the dust we go
watching the atom bomb show!

(here we go again)

you've been watching,
you've been watching
aye - Yai - Yai - Yai 
aye - Yai - Yai - Yeah!

go run a while
go run a mile
call me if you had fun!

hey why don't we get out of here
'cuz I'm gonna start a new life now
but I don't like to use protection 
so I guess we'll just get stuck again!

I guess we'll just get stuck again!
-- we'll just get stuck again
 we'll just get stuck again
we'll just get stuck again

(hey! sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken!)

Apocalypse

(five finger discount) x2

[verse]
In the lefty land of California,
You can lift anything and they only warn ya
Now these morals might seem quite amiss 
It's the United States of no consequence!

So I'm gonna check out some expensive goods
And pretend to scan -- take it back to my 'hood
Just like Aladdin - I am misunderstood 
But I'll work my magic like you know I would

[chorus]
the adrenaline rush
makes me feel alive
when everything's free
I don't have to strive 
Look around my crib
And you can see 
The system got them 
but it won't get me!

[verse]
It's a five-finger discount and we share the spoils
Who needs an account - because the man got foiled
honor of thieves, (yeah) keeping it real
banking like bandits - no one stops the steal

And the politicians? well, they do it too
two thousand mules you know what it proved
corruption runs deep and corruption runs high
It rots from the head, and this is do or die!

[chorus]

[bridge]
Now listen up, this ain't just some game,
It's how we survive in this system of shame,
When the rules get bent, you gotta bend back,
In the land of scoundrels - we ride the same track.

hey wooden jesus, where'd I go wrong?
Mr. Cornell showed me your song
the scars on your head are almost worn off
from holding you nervously as I lay down

and I pray... when am I saved?
what will become of the choices I've made?
I pray... when you replace
all of the sin that reflects in my face

hey mother Mary don't cry for me
I will repent before I go to sleep
there is no telling what's in store for me
a double-minded man who's down on his knee

and I pray... when am I saved?
what will become of the choices I've made?
I pray... when you replace
all of the sin that reflects in my face

I cannot shake these sins
the holy water's gone bad
the priests have gone to jail
the scars stay on my hands

and I pray... when am I saved?
what will become of the choices I've made?
I pray... when you replace
all of the sin that reflects in my face

hey Wooden Jesus, let's play a song
You make it so easy to forgive my wrongs
i give my faith to all that you teach
tell me salvation is within my reach

and I pray... when am I saved?
what will become of the choices I've made?
I pray... when you replace
all of the sin that reflects - that reflects - in my face

Hey there Mister Piper, bring the kiddies back
Doesn't matter what you say as long as you attract
A little more attention, step into your role
Ever did I mention, you were in my soul!

Hey there Mister Piper, no need to attack
Break another record, keep us all on track
Tell them what you're thinking, come out of your hole
Are the ratings sinking?  Only you would know!

[Chorus]
Either way they love you, 
Either way you're it!
Either way you're winning, 
Either way you're never gonna quit
Either way you're never gonna quit
Either way you're never gonna quit!

[verse]
Hey there Mister Piper, are you on my side?
Doesn't matter what you like, as long as I can hide
A little more affection, let the tips a'roll
Never did I mention, the secrets that you told

Now everyone's asking, can they be your love
Come another day, and come another dove
Tell us one more joke, and make us all your friends
Yeah we can go with you, even till the end!

[Chorus]

Intensive Care Unit

Never Quit

In a very quiet room
In a very quiet house
I'll make myself anew
And never be without

A desert prince to be
A sand castle for me
Goodbye to all my friends
I'm there and back again

The never ending stairs
Go down - I don't know where
A secret passage through
Winding back to you

in a very quiet house
in a very quiet town
the stars your only guide
the trees are falling down

and ask the palmist man
what should I do then? (yeah)
is this the life for me
across the sandy sea 

send the lightning storm
I never felt so warm
I'll swim although it's cold
I'm healing don't you know

Sand Castle

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, 
it’s a UFO 🛸
It’s a military drone — 
hey, I don’t know!
It’s another operation 
to distract you from inflation
And tonight at eleven 
we’ll get you the information!

we interrupt your interruption
to show you more corruption
when you've lost all your feelings
we'll make it a fine production

starring all the useless eaters
sitting in their wife-beaters
fighting for Black Friday deals
keep your pulse on the meter

Now a meteor is coming
And it's probably gonna hit (huh)
That's what the science says 
You can't argue with it!

So stop, drop, and roll
-- it was only a test!
And we didn't count your vote
But it's all for the best 

[chorus]

Now don’t try to do 
your own research
Just trust the experts 
or get left in the lurch

And prepare for the worst
Cuz the government reversed
What they said yesterday
Like a hypocrite's curse

So get some more popcorn, and stay in your flannels!
We’ll be right back, just don’t change the channel!

I let a psychotic southern girl
into my bed the other night
she wouldn't stop and she wouldn't sleep
so I kicked her out with all my might

and now that she's gone, I'm a roaming
and now that she's gone I am alone (alone!)
and now that she's gone I need a moment --
to feel, better than I've ever felt before!

I shoulda learned my lesson the first time
Lust has a way of coming back
I called the cops to report my crime
Almost had a heart attack

And now that's it done, I'm a roaming!
And now that it's over I'm alone!
And now that she's gone I need a moment --
To feel... better than I ever felt before!

(yeah)

Psycho southern girl...
Where did you go?
Psycho southern girl 
You put on the freakiest show
Psycho southern girl...
Where did you go?
Psycho southern girl 
No one needs to know!

[chorus]

Psycho Southern Girl

I loved this girl, Beverly
She was always sweet to me
She was the only one I needed
My picture perfect Beverly pleaded

For me to not come visit her
What do I do my life's a blur
it's nothing, just a little hurt
You lied to me, and now I'm sure 

Beverly, you'll always be a mystery
And I believe...
A heart can change, it's not so strange
To be out there, and share my pain
So I could wait another year
For you to come around my dear
Let go of all the childhood fear
I wrote this song for you to hear

and if you are feeling blue
just know that I am thinking of you
baby you know what to do
answer the phone when I'm calling you

and let's forever be the two hearts
that overcame so many false starts
make it right, for me tonight
come on back, without a fight

[chorus]

...and she walks to me, in my dreams
in my -- (nothing's what it seems)

...and she walks to me, in my dreams
in my dreams (nothing's what it seems)

...and she walks to me, in my dreams
in my -- nothing's what it seems

...and she walks to me, in my dreams
in my dreams (nothing's what it seems)

Beverly

I’m a bug in your ear sounding like a hero
And you think you can hear me 
but you’re only hearing ones and zeros
Skip over me, give yourself a break

Cuz this song isn’t real and 
everything’s fake yeah (yeah) 
everything’s fake

[chorus]
This intensive care unit
For all the headless ones
I suppose that we blew it
At least we all had fun
Now the doctor is out
And the crazies come to take
But everything’s a lie
And faker than fake
(Yeah yeah) faker than fake

[verse]
It’s a technical effect and an oxymoron
And the rocket is leaving but 
we will try to get everyone on
to planet Mars, if we all don’t die

But the universe is burning and
It’s all a lie
Yeah (yeah)
It’s all a lie

[chorus]

Fake

Why look up to see me here, I’m mellow
My coffee cup is half empty, I’m mellow
A temporary space for me and you (me and you)
Contemporary waste, it’s what we do (what we do)

Something very strange about the American dream
Never quite fulfilling as it would seem
A two-dollar golden ticket for me and you (me and you)
We don’t expect to win, but it’s what we do (what we do)

[chorus]
I am getting bolder, and life is getting colder
Don’t come up to see me, ‘cause I’m mellow
I might be a miser, but I am getting wiser
So don’t come up to see me ‘cause I’m mellow

[verse]
Got a love-hate thing going with the THC
Killing my pain with you honey, and it ain’t free
Coming down from a high just to be with you (be with you)
We’re not supposed to indulge but it’s what we do (what we do)

Life in Hollywood is gonna make you scream
Can’t keep up with the dust -- I never get clean
Crowding all around and I’m feeling blue (blue)
Our eyes never quite meet but it’s what we do (what we do)

[chorus]

[bridge]
the look on your face as you left
that's one I can never forget
my only wish is to see you then
all I want is to feel you again (yeah)


Mellow

Bullet to my head
 Waking up the dead
I start again

What did I do  
to deserve you
Taking all my ends 

Pink was the color
Before you got another
Hit the aces then

A full moon rise
Turn up the tide
And I’m drowning!

 We could be in love
 We could be in love
We could be in love
Again... (again) 
 
  Paper Tiger,
 What would you buy 
for  all my friends

If I don’t quit
With the magic stick
Would you make amends?

A censored mind 
Giving up my time
If you say when

  Hungover, my dear  
 The hardest year 
G - F - Y - S

[chorus]

 I’m putting on my gloves
Push has come to shove
I’m faking out my love — I’ll spin   - 

 Drink my wine 
I’m feeling fine
I’m colder when

You step outside
Nothing to hide
I’m in your skin

  Like a sand castle
 if you hassle
 I’ll cave in.

  Never made the seal 
What do I feel ?
Yes, I’m flyin'!

In Love Again (Headless Version)

don't leave yet
I've got something for you

Don't Leave Yet

Driving down the coast, the sun sets in my eyes,
This winding highway feels like a road to paradise,
We laughed in my car, with the windows rolled down,
The Hollywood life and this tinsel town

 [chorus]
Take me back to the 101
Where everybody’s happy
And we’re all having fun
Take me back take me back to the day
When I was still your golden boy
Back before all the love went away 

[verse]
Neon signs and palm trees, we'd cruise without a care,
The radio played our song, electricity in the air,
But now those memories seem so far away,
Can we find that magic, just one more day?

[chorus] 

[bridge]
I remember those nights on the beach, the sand beneath our feet,
We danced under the stars, where our love was so sweet,
But the miles have passed, time has slipped away,
Take me back to when we were young, to the 101 highway.

The 101

My city will always be moving… 
My city will always be grooving (oh yeah) 
All those bright lights I know 
They can shine right through my soul
'Cause I’m getting back, what I was losing

  I went out to the desert, to make something of me
I only took a couple friends (and oh how could it be)
 That I came out a lying killer, a renegade man, a wannabe thriller
The voices finally defeated and a crown I didn’t see

[chorus]
And oh how could it be?
That you’d be loving me? 
And oh how could I know? 
A side you wouldn’t show  (oh)

la da da da da da da da!
la -- da -- da! 

 [verse]
 This red sand  is underneath my feet
Holding her hand, I feel a heartbeat (oh yeah) 
We don’t have to go back
Think I’d rather have this desert shack
Cuz I’m getting back, what I was losing 

I went back to the city - my hometown and my birth
The crowds had gotten bigger. What did I want at first?
Well maybe I forgot myself, and maybe I lost you
But if I turn myself around, I’m making all things new   

[chorus]

  la da da da da da da da!
la -- da da -- da -- da!

My City Is The Desert

I’ve got a deal that’s so bad (yeah)
Don’t you wish you were in my shoes
It’s the worst I’ve ever had 
The lucky ones don’t have to choose
  Don’t you wish for my bones (why)
 It’s not a place to call your home 
Didn’t you want to be all one?
Where am I going - what have I done 

[chorus]
 When my love failed 
Your forgiveness prevailed
Redemption sails 
To the ones who can heal   
(yeah yeah - yeah yeah)  
You know me well 
And from what I can tell 
I rang your bell
To save me from hell  

[verse] 
I’ve got a lover, so sad 
Don’t you wish that I was dead
That was the first time you went mad 
Now I gotta get you outta my head
  Reverse your charade and you got it made 
Goodness is something you have to choose
 Initiative comes to those who wait 
Don’t you wish you were in my shoes?

  [chorus]

  [bridge]
I’ve got a deal  I’ve got a deal
I’ve got a deal for you  Yeah yeah yeah yeah!   
I’ve got a deal   I’ve got a deal
I’ve got a deal for you  Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

You're The Worst

[VERSE]
You showed up late, looking all hungover
Mustard stain on your shirt
There’s no debate, you’re getting demoted
Unless you prove your worth 

 I checked the quality of your work 
I would give it a solid “D”
Now I have got to be the jerk
Who reports you to the team

  [CHORUS] 
cuz your not good at your job
You’re not good at your job  
Why do we pay you anything 
Cuz you’re not good at your job (haha)

 [Verse]
 Nothing was cleaned and nothing was kept
You didn’t put back the tools 
Texting your boo to complain about stuff
Acting like the fool

 I guess the more you mess things up
You can make some overtime,
That won’t matter cuz the camera showed
You stole from the till — that’s a crime! 

[BRIDGE] 
‘cuz your not good at your job (you really messed it up)
You’re not good at your job (did you even try?) 
Why do we pay you anything
Cuz you’re not good at your job!

 [CHORUS]

You're Not Good At Your Job

[Verse 1]
Touching down in Paris France
These lovely ladies want to dance
Oh la la, menage-a-tois
It’s grand... I’m in a foreign land!   

Strolling through a Tokyo street,
Sushi, sake' - friends I meet,
The lantern glow, "arigato" 
It’s grand... I’m in a foreign land! 

  [CHORUS]
Maybe I do, and maybe I don’t,
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t,
It’s grand... I’m in a foreign land! 

[Verse 2]
Wandering through Marrakech’s maze,
Spice and souks in a vibrant haze,
I heard you laugh, share a tea,
This desert heat’s now home to me 

Sailing fjords in Norway’s glow,
Northern lights put on a show,
Friends I’ve made, we toast the night,
In this chill, my soul takes flight! 

 [CHORUS]
Maybe I do, and maybe I don’t,
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t,
It’s grand... I’m in a foreign land! 

[BRIDGE]
Dancing samba in Rio’s heat,
Carnival rhythms move my feet,
Crowds unite, we’re hand in hand,
Joy’s alive in this foreign land! 
From Geoje’s sands to Dublin’s cheer,
Every corner’s got a story to hear,
Raise a glass with strangers, then
This adventure never ends! 

 [CHORUS]
Maybe I do, maybe I don’t,
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t,
It’s grand... I’m in a foreign land!

- LYRICS -
I kissed her on the cheek so many times, and it felt so right
We sat in that crazy restaurant all night
And I wondered why she even met me
I treated her so well and how she let me 
And now I feel it, and how I feel it, oh have I finally realized

She likes the ladies more than me
It's not my fault I'm just a guy
She likes the ladies more than me
And I'm a guy with my junk on the outside

Outside you'll come to play another day, and would you say?
That you didn't have to be that way, every time you had a meltdown
When I get back that's when I am in town
And now I need it, and how I need it, oh have I finally realized?

It's just the way you choose to be, 
that keeps us bottled up inside
It's just the way you choose to be
and I'm a guy with my junk on the outside.

I see the truth each time I close my eyes And would you lie?  
If I asked why they do not tell you, how much they really love you
If I could then I would walk in your shoes
'Cause now I see it, and I believe it, oh have I finally realized

It's just the way you choose to be, 
that keeps us bottled up inside
It's just the way you chose to be
and I'm a guy with my junk on the outside.

She likes the ladies more than me, 
it's not my fault I'm just a guy
She likes the ladies more than me, 
and I'm a guy with my junk on the outside.

Likes The Ladies

from the album "Love & Hate in Los Angeles"

Apocalypse (AJ's Version)

I love this song so much, after making the first version (Girl with Dark Red Hair) recorded with Merrell Fankhauser... I decided to make it again, and added some preferred harmony on vocals, and this version seems to be more popular. The guitar made some sweet harmonics as well.

GIRL WITH DARK RED HAIR - alt version lyrics

i'm standing here in line and i see here all the time
it's that girl with the dark red hair
at the cafe where she's grinding is it true love i am finding?
it's that girl with the dark red hair
then she took her break time with me and a phone number she slipped me
it's that girl with the dark red hair
and you asked me if i kissed her but that's not your business mister
it's that girl with the dark red hair

yeah that girl with the dark red hair
yeah that girl would you stop and stare
yeah that girl that girl she is the prettiest in my world
that girl with the dark red hair

then we went out to the park just a little after dark. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
and I brought my new guitar but we didn't get that far. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
now she's holding on my arm like a cutie luck charm. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair
we'll carve our names into the tree and it will last a century. 
I got the girl with the dark red hair

{chorus}

And there's not enough time for all that I want to do
Not enough time, for every kiss
Not enough time for all that I want to do
We're running out of time

now she's sitting in my bedroom and I think I need some head room
you're the girl with the dark red hair
and she looks into my eyes, and it makes me feel so high
you're the girl with the dark red hair
should I ask her for permission, or will I keep on wishin'
you're the girl with the dark red hair
and then to my great surprise, she laid me down and I
got the girl with the dark red hair

[Dec 2024]  Finished new album "First Universe" ... follow me on "X" to join the CD release party and get a free copy.  Final version of Truth Teller getting done. It went through a lot of changes, and released a new one about the absurdity of shop-lifting in California... have a laugh and listen to Five Finger Discount.    Stay tuned...

[Nov 2024] Publishing new tracks "Injection 25" about medical freedoms, and "Slow Drag" about the tragic death of Kurt Cobain, who was one of my musical heroes when I was in high school.  Also, our new track "Insanity" is a musical kick to the face (the good kind).


[Oct 2024]  Writing new content with a little help from my Roland vocal transformer.  Contracting with Kung-Fu world champion Andrew Wilson to write a new song "Message from Above" to be used in his upcoming documentary film.  

[Sept 2024]  New track "Fight the Power" is out with the Headless ønes ... you're going to love it.  Instant hit.

[Aug 2024]  Released a piano instrumental version of "In Love Again" 

[July 2024]  I revisited "Truth Teller" to make some changes and additions. I have an updated version printed now.

[June 2024]  I'm recalling a chord progression I developed in my teen years and I'm putting together a new track called "Soul Sister".  Not done yet.

[May 2024]  "Truth Teller" got some major edits and a new version is now bumping across social media from my fans sharing it out.  You know who you are... thnx!  Also, former Kung-Fu World Champion (my friend Andrew Wilson) hit me up to compose another song, for his next documentary film.

[April 2024] Learning how to master my songs.  I'm going to revisit many of them, and I will be re-releasing some tracks after juicing them up.

[March 2024] - released "Truth Teller" and an instrumental version.  Made a few additions to "In Love Again".

[Feb 2024] So the inner conscience is a very weird thing.  I recorded a track titled "the Face of Darkness" exactly 2 years ago, forgot about it, and then last night, my brain reminds me to put it out, and won't let me sleep.  It needed some work, so I spent another day on it. Check it out, in all its shadowy uniqueness.

[Jan 2024] Just got a call from ASCAP, and found out that my music has been used internationally on radio and television shows.  They were trying to deposit money into my bank account, but I needed to update it.  No longer a hobby; officially a paid/professional musician.

Cleaning up my music files, I came across a two-years old demo of "My City Is The Desert" and it's time to do it justice.  Might add bass+drums.

[End of 2023] Whipped out "In Love Again" in under one day.  Sudden moments of inspiration.  Let's rebound.

[2023 - Dec]  Thanks to my "X Fam" and Lucius Knight for the advice, as I finished "A Hero Returns".  This features frequencies from the 11th harmonic, which are now proven to heal the body.  I'm not kidding.

HERE IS THE SOUND SCIENCE -https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0IkbDktUJX/

[2023 - Nov]  published "Injection 24" in hopes of waking up a few people, going into next year.  I kept the original lyrics, but added real guitar and checked EQ and instrument blends, to master the final product.  Possible alt lyric version coming.

[2023 - Oct] Reworking "Injection" and adding real guitar to sweeten the opening and various parts, other ingredients going in are confidential and you'll need to sign a waiver to find out what they are.  ;)

[2023 - Sept]  "Murder by injection" got a new formula, and published, now with only the warning label of "Injection" to simplify the title.
[2023 - May]   Some ideas still brewing... probably something to celebrate my mother

[2023 - April]   Developing a new piano comp "A Hero Returns"

[2023 - March]  Publishing new single "Insanity"

[2023 - February]  Publishing third album "Swimming With Dragons" and some new singles

[2020]  Too much work, setting up a new business... thoughts of suicide... definitely time to get back into music!

[2019]  Mostly work and no play.  Not good.

[2018]  Left my hometown of Los Angeles for a new life in the mid-west, got a pet lizard named "Baby Dragon" and she's amazing.
