Modern Times

Just an absolutely beautiful but haunting melody. I have had it stuck in my head for so long that I thought this would be the only way to cure that. Turns out now it's forever stuck in my noggin. on repeat, over and over. but it's the kind of beautiful redundant tone that just never gets old. sometimes a simple little melody can evoe a feeling or obsession....its like magic. dont believe me? watch "Fallen", "jaws" Star Wars" or ?stir of echoes"

"I Just Missed Your Heart" rendition of The Chemical Brothers "The Devil is in the Details"

This is the third track off of our first album. It's a letter to the oak tree in the corn / soy field 20 miles east of Ada, Ohio on the old route 30.

Who Judges the Judge? (finishing vocals currently)

I'm not really sure what to say about this song. I didn't write any lyrics because I didn't need them. I felt a little like a paint pallet. when enough colors all bleed together, eventually everything turns brown. It seemed there was something, be it good or bad but either way dramatic, happening in every direction I looked the day I wrote this. i wasn't sure if I was happy, sad, angry, calm, spiteful, compassionate, and whatever else you can come up with. Every situation demanded a different emotion. So I did what I always do. I picked up the axe and let it sort everything out for me.

I.M.Unbreakable

I started working on this song on Superbowl Sunday, like almost 5 months ago. It may not be right up everyones alley so to speak, especially with the direction i went with the vocals. i wanted them to be mine, but have a sort of machine-like attitude. It's my way of describing the transition from a mindless social robot to an actual individual human being. While that road is usually less traveled, infinitely more criticized, misunderstood and usually frowned upon because it doesn't meet most of the social acceptable standards, it just so happens to meet mine. And I'm the only person I really need to worry about as far as approval goes. Everyone out there: What the world thinks of you and what may happen to you good or bad, as long as you stay true to who and what you are and don't compromise your values no matter what they may be, you too, will be unbreakable. 

LYRICS:

Time's so unpredictable, just like the ocean,
Never know If Im’a  sink or swim.
Seems the threads of life can come unraveled so fast, 
that I'm not sure exactly where to begin no, no. 
You gotta roll with the punches,
Go with the Flow,
You gotta try to take a chance on something that you don't know.
Nothing is Forever, Nothing is for free
and not a damn thing that's worth having ever comes easily.
If I'm still breathin' there's a reason 
no I won't quit I'm not leavin',
It may take it's toll but not my soul,
Cause I'm unbreakable.

Oh it's unmistakeable
Yea I'm unshakeable
Oh I'm unphaseable,
Yea I'm unbreakable

Chorus second time
Oh it's unmistakeable
Yea I'm unshakeable
Oh I'm unphaseable,
Yea I'm unbreakable

I.M.U.nbreakable (The Beat Dragons - Weapyn X & L Bone Capone)

This song is one of those, if this makes sense, happy accidents that started off as one thing, and ended up as something i really liked. Looking back through all of my tracks, and listening to some from 2 years ago, 1 year ago, I've come to learn 3 things. 
1.) there really just might not be anything else that will ever gain as much diligence, effort, patience, passion and dedication from me as making music does. I happen to be one of those people that will admit openly, "yea, I love my music. I'm my biggest fan, I'm amazed at what i've taught myself to do, and if a song receives highest praise or most harsh criticism they both achieve the same goal, they continue to guide me towards improving at what i do. And some songs, Even if the votes were unanimous that this song or that song is the worst in history, I still love them. they let me know i'm not without passion, just without payoff so far. 
2.) I've slowly sort of honed my wild child all over the place sound and funneled it into two containers, the live instrument side and the, for lack of a better term, "laptop digi-rock" like this track. 
3.) and finally, as much as I feel tracks have improved from the producer side, and as much as i feel i've continued to learn and develop and grow, I'm only scratching the surface of actually knowing what i'm doing on this side of the mixer
