I love this song I'm definitely sharing with my friends 💕

It's such a lovely song, but the name mcCracken just cracks me up

you blew up on youtube btw dude :) congrats!!

i love your songs so much, my favorite is "be glad i love you" it's not the usual love song, but that's why I relate to it more than any other love song!

just found this song, and oh my goodness, WHAT A BOP like bro im listening to this on repeat ive sent it to all my friends. I know that im kinda late to the show but i just had to comment. Thank you so much for the awesome song!!

i’ve been listening for years and this is the first time i’ve noticed your logo on the cover art

this song gives me a weird sense of nostalgia... reminds me of music I listened to in middle school.

I’ve played this song on repeat to many times it’s forever stuck in my head

was that a pun cause of the NASA center, or was there no specific reason that you chose that word?

Good

Taken from our EP 'Mass Trespass' (available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc, and on CD via our website), "Hell" is an autobiographical jaunt through one man's life – a song about identity,  self-determination, and songwriting. 

And going to Hell, of course.

Goodness Gracious

Sell Yourself Lightly

I just stepped on a plane, my bags on the shelf
I find my seat in the middle and plan to keep to myself
The pilot comes on, says: "there's been a delay"
and I sigh, buckle up, and prepare for the wait
There's a middle aged woman on my right by the window
no ring on her finger, maybe divorced or widow?
She's drafting an email and from where I am seated
I can side-eye that shit, so of course I'm gon' read it.

it said:

Dear McCracken... this is already great
dude's got a pen pal and a killer last name
she opens with an inside joke and she's hoping
to set a casual tone, her words carefully chosen
she was sure that her week spent in Houston would drag
but then a face from her past quickly changed all of that
the trip was for business, she's used to the travel
but this time she's not ready to head back to Seattle

Dear McCracken, I'd rather be off this plane
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
Do I pretend, do I push you away?
I'm jet-laggin mcCracken and I'll give you, I'll give you your space

I can tell by the abuse of the backspace key
there's a heart balanced on how her words are perceived
she's retyped that fourth paragraph four times
swinging the tone back and forth until she's so satisfied
that he knows that even though their paths have diverged
there's an air of regret but not enough to reverse
and I am stunned, there I sit, completely convinced
that once you grow old you stop dealing with this
the uncertain, the hurtin', the feelin like dirt when
things don't work out by the fall of the curtain
she hits send, powers off, and we're ready to go
and I am sad for the passion that McCracken, he might never know

Dear McCracken, I'd rather be off this plane
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
Do I pretend, do I push you away?
I'm jet-laggin mcCracken and I'll give you, I'll give you your space

Dear McCracken, I'm keepin this on my chest
I've said a lot of things but none of them what I meant
Do I pretend, do I try to forget?
I'm jet-laggin mcCracken and I wish you, I wish you the best

and I thought, I thought by that age
our broken hearts had seen their worst
and I thought that kind of heartache
was meant for the young but we're never too old to hurt

and I thought, I thought by that age
our broken hearts had seen their worst
and I thought that kind of heartache
was meant for the young but we're never too old to hurt

I just stepped off a plane, I've got one regret
I know I'll never get closure or ever see how it ends
I won't know his answer, what happens between them
why she kept her cards so close even she couldn't see them
what gave her such pause when she so clearly wanted
to tell you all the emotions she tried so hard to bottle
and I'll never know why she kept the honest truth from you
but Oh Dear McCracken... in the rough draft...

in the rough draft...

In the Rough Draft She Loved You.

Dear McCracken

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

Awfully Apeelin'

The Scientist

Parallel Universes

The culmination of a lifetime of work between two best friends, and two of their best friends, More Silver mixes an authentic and ethereal Northwest Indie sound with elements of Pop-Punk, Folk Rock, and catchy hooks.

Silver Platters

This is a track I did for Jay Tholen's new video game, Hypnospace Outlaw.  Within the game, the song is by an imaginary 90's alt-folk band called Barnaby's Chair.

Lyrics:

Back when we were both young and pretty
Oh, you had so much to say
But things weren't perfect in the city
So now you've moved away
And my my, look how your star has faded
You spend the night at home
Practicing your drums
for a gig that never comes
Casting dirty glances at the phone

You've still got mountains in your mind
You never even tried to climb
You never seemed to have the time
You know you used to shine so bright
Was that all reflected light?
Were you just a satellite?

Lord knows, these things get so confusing
When you have flown so far
Back home the almond trees are blooming
But it's autumn where you are
And my my, now all the leaves are changing
Just like the color of your hair
Time flies, soon everything looks strange and
A chill is in the air

You've still got mountains in your mind
You never even tried to climb
You never seemed to have the time
You know you used to shine so bright
Was that all reflected light?
Were you just a satellite?

You know you used to shine so bright
Was that all reflected light?
Was nothing coming from inside?
Were you just a satellite?

Satellite Orchestral

Hypnospace Outlaw OST vol. 3 is out, including a bunch of songs from me!  They're also included in the new content update, which should be dropping on Steam and elsewhere today!
