A demo I made in my bedroom of a song that shall be on my new album! :)

You May Live On Earth (Demo)

Little Black Heart

Better Off Dead

"Shadows Stay"

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space. 

Verse 2
Your watch still ticks on the bedroom shelf,
I wind it up, but it won’t help.
The calendar froze on a winter day,
The ink of your handwriting won’t fade away.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 3
Some nights I dream you’re walking near,
Your coat on the rail, your voice in my ear.
I wake to nothing, just the ceiling’s stare,
And the heavy reminder that you’re not there.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Final Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They haunt me in a tender way.
I reach for your hand, but it slips through the night,
And I’m left with the dark, and the absence of light.


Shadows Stay

The distance between two people should never be too far for love to travel.

-Lyrics-

I've been cornered
I've been left in the dust by a girl
Living halfway across the damn world
She's so far away, yet she's so close to me

And I've told her
If I ever had the chance to be hers
Than I'd wish on every star
That she'd never be hurt or alone

I'd keep you safe, even when I was miles away
Our hearts are in the same sky

Someday, you'll know that I meant it
Meant every word
You'll see that I'm honest
When it comes to love

I won't, no I won't
Let this fall
Like everything else seems to do
The truth is, I'd wait for you

The distance might cause some complaints
But if I let that get in the way
I'll be damned for sure
I'd pack my bags and drive on down

I'll get the hell out of this town
There's nothing here for me
That mid-western girl
Is all I need

Buttons is the acoustic project and brainchild of singer songwriter Hutton Baird, a kid from San Diego with a big heart and a passion for music. Hutton writes as an outlet, each song conveying deep meaning and telling his story- the struggles, addiction, and overcoming personal demons. 

Buttons spent the entire summer on the Vans Warped Tour yielding great success. In addition to averaging nearly 300 CD sales daily, the project was moved up from the Acoustic Basement Stage to the Kevin Says Stage and finished out playing on the Kia Electric Soul Main Stage. With sales through the roof, Buttons more than doubled it’s fan base and set the stage for many upcoming tours.

Buttons plans to hit the studio to record a brand new LP for an anticipated spring release.
