Pulled Me Up

Kiss - Shock Me Cover

Give It To Me

Well yo,  This song finds me 7 1/2 years down the road as an expat barang American. The song story has been repeated to me time and again. Because ya know...There "Ain't NO Fool, Like An OL' Fool". 
Rock I think with elements of jazz, blues and country.
Part of the story coming from a disillusioned 70 yo going on 19 currently residing in northwest Cambodia. From the Pacific Northwest to the Cambodian Northwest.

AIN'T NO FOOL (LIKE AN OLD FOOL)

Someone you loved

These songs were written in 2017 (the cover is a rare picture of drunk me at the time), which is when I started to realize I was very likely not a special snowflake and I had to stop complaining about things not always going the way I want, yet that's exactly what I kept doing - to whine about things not going the way I wanted - but, in a brand new indie pop fashion rather than long text messages. (How exciting.)

The production process was very long and boring as I was always changing bits and lryics. After completing the recording in 2019, it got to the point I was fed up with them and put them aside, focusing on other musical projects with my friends (which you can find here on the Collettivo page as well).

I do still believe the songs are quite dumb, however: lately my friend Loup said he wanted to listen to them and gave me a very long and deatiled feedback to convince me there's no reason why these songs should not be available online after all, at least some of them (three out of five, the other two are just too silly), despite their limitations. He's right I guess, so here I am uploading this. I also owe it to all the people I've involved in this and bothered with my demos for years - sorry guys, I'm sure you'll forgive me now that you are mentioned in the "thanks to" section below!
