The Hold

Almost There

Plus One to Heaven

good reason

Lyrics:

I hope it all goes well
I really hope you don't die alone
With roaches at your funeral
and hey
At least you got it off your chest
Like some virtuous accomplishment
We're all so proud forget about it

Where to go
I can't begin
So I
Push these feelings
Down again
Blah

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

My track shoes on
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Stench is just a molecule
Swept up from its host by the environment
But careful don't get too close
Oh no
It's not you
Must be my overly sensitive senses
Clouding what must be true

Where to go
I can't begin
So I
Push these feelings
Down again
Blah

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Oh hey yeah sorry we haven't talked
Oh it's been that long
Yeah I guess I've just been super busy
Weird how fast time goes
Remember that one thing you did
Yeah I can see why that would be harder on you
Oh you've changed
Oh wow good for you
Really happy for all your progress
Sorry we haven't talked
I guess I just didn't know where to start

Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on
Say goodbye
I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on

Is goodbye one word or two words
Did I forget to turn the lights off in my room
Man I really need to cut my fingernails
I should probably grab some food before it gets too late
Do I have clean underwear for tomorrow
I really need to clean my sheets
When does the store close
It's so dusty on my desk

Surf Curse "Freaks"

Blood & sweat are the foundation of any hard fought musical legacy. For Dave Cavalier, from the controlled chaos of his live shows to his bleeding fingers after a raucous set, they seem to be essential ingredients of his art, his persona & his music. With the emotional capacity of a hurricane, Cavalier’s guitar playing is almost as if a tattooed James Dean played guitar like Hendrix, bending his memories into music at every turn, snapping strings most nights in the process. Unfazed, it’s clear that pushing such on-stage, musical exorcisms to the very edge is part of Cavalier’s process and that his relatable & genuine personal stories want to bring you along for the ride.

Billboard has said Cavalier has some of “The greatest tracks you’ve never heard of,” while the The Huffington Post has called him, “Jack White merging his talents with those of Robert Palmer...his music defines what is known as the carnal arts - sexy, sensuous, gritty music.” After his 2015 debut release, “HOWL,” with Grammy nominated producer, Hal Winer, Cavalier evolved his sound to release "RUMORS" in 2019. He has shared billings with Buddy Guy, Eddie Vedder, Don Henley, Aloe Blacc, Kendrick Lamar, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Amos Lee, Band of Horses & many more at festivals across the country, continuing to fine tune his sound in the process. Cavalier’s songs have been featured in numerous Netflix, AMC, MTV and Amazon television productions, he is an award winning film composer and has been the focus of both national and international marketing campaigns for brands such as Peugeot, Volvo, Best Buy, Harman Kardon, HTC Vive, Las Vegas & San Diego Tourism and more.
