Bad Comrade

together we fall
but you can go first
get up for the call
solidarity the curse
follow the cue
you can push through
i'm bringing it up from behind
united we stand
divided we die
foolish followed by the brave then the blind

from back here i can see
what out there awaits me
the big push through
then i will follow you 
the gamble of the game being played
if i'm taken to task 
for always going last
then i am guilty of being a bad comrade

when it comes to the crunch 
i'm the best of the bunch
the best friend you wish you never had
when a situation sucks
when you're all out of luck
it pays to have a comrade so bad

no cowards way out
its not what its about
to fight the battle is to survive the game
murphy's law rules every war 
to come out alive carries no shame

you are a pawn
the day you were born 
today this moment you're being played
out in the field
you are my shield
because i've always been a bad comrade.

            Art reflects life 
         Life reflects culture
   Culture reflects philosophy 
Philosophy reflects intelligence 
 Intelligence reflects progress
    Progress reflects change 
    Change reflects direction 
       Direction is infinite
            Life is art

Please stop by and let us know what you think so far!!!

 I began my musical career as a solo artist signed to the now defunct Hawaii label FOS Records in Hilo Hawaii.  Unfortunately the label was forced to close shop before my first solo album was released.  Disappointed, I decided to try something new by forming The Singularities with Kent Green(Everybody's Problem, Crackton).  The Singularities was more experimental and beat driven than my solo material and the album pushed both Kent and I into many interesting musical directions we hadn't previously explored.  We released our self titled debut in 2009.  'The Singularities' went on to win awards from the independent site Garageband for Track of the Day in Alternative Pop,  Best Programming in Alternative Pop, and Most Original in Alternative Pop, in March and May of 2009.

    Stylistically, I draws from rock, indie, pop, punk, electronic, and experimental influences.  It can be hard to categorize yourself but if I have to I'll say that my songs tend to be melody and hook driven.  I use guitars and soft synths interchangeably depending on the direction of a track and that makes it hard for me to try and fit myself neatly into a genre.  When you hear my songs I hope all of my descriptive gibberish makes more sense.  Overall, I try really hard to keep my identity despite my varying tastes, and I hope that comes across.

    To put it all simply, I love music.  Love or hate my songs, I mean them all.  I want to make songs that I mean something to me, and the hope is that if I can be true to that, then others just might dig them as well.  

    I appreciate all comments and constructive criticism and if you want me to check out your music feel free to ask...
