"Nearsighted" is a unique song that brings a retro-70s Americana vibe while delivering a contemporary message about the nature of disappointment and heartbreak in an (almost) post-pandemic world. Daniel considers his music to be a love letter to artists like Daniel Lanois, Paul Simon, U2, Sting, Peter Gabriel, REM, Beta Radio, Fruit Bats, and Elbow. In that spirit, Nearsighted handily showcases Daniel’s knack for melodic fingerstyle, memorable melodies, and weighty lyrics.

"Lift Me Up" gives the listener a feel that blends the aura of Paul Simon with the rustic Americana of Bruce Hornsby and the raise-the-roof anthems of U2. It handily showcases Daniel Corey's unique skills on fingerstyle guitar and piano, as well as composing memorable melodies with weighty lyrics.

Ascendant is an original cinematic composition by Daniel Corey. Built on layers of ambient choir, shimmering organ, and evolving textures, it traces a path from chaos to calm—a slow rise into clarity and light.
