A powerfuli tribute to our men and women in the military. New music.

MILITARY MAN - Doug Wildes

The AWOLNATION song 'Kill Your Heros', who by the way I think are a very under rated band, just sayin! This is just me and a guitar (the drum sounds is me hitting the guitar on a 2nd take).

- In Memory of Adrian Medley.

Awolnation cover 

Kill Your Heros (acoustic)- Awolnation Cover

A short portion to give an idea of what the finished version will be like (a little).

THE GIRL IN THE YELLOW

The girl in the yellow (x4)

There she was In a yellow dress...
Running somewhere Heels in hand probably off to confess
Where she'd been or what she'd done awww
Well you know that thegirl in the yellow
Knows how to have fun

The Girl in the yellow (x4)

She probably friends with the devil
The girl in the yellow (x3)
I probably never should have said hello

No one knows where she was last night
She don't know if she's alright
They don't know where she came from
But that don't stop her from having fun
Yea

The girl in the yellow (x4)

She don't mean to cause no pain
But the color yellow leaves a stain
In your mind...
Of this girl in your mind all the time

The girl in the yellow (X4)

The Girl In The Yellow - Part 2

Crazy Love, originally by the great Van Morrison. Last cover song for a while.

Crazy Love

A tribute to Leonard Cohen. One of my favorite songs since I first heard it as a child, and will remain so for the rest of my life. Rest easy and thank you for your inspiration.

Hallelujah

Sunday Morning Throwback song (11/13/2016)
 
'The Freshmen' by The Verve Pipe

 Whatever cover over the course of a month gets the most feedback, I will redo into an actual produced cover song. (this is just a mic, a guitar, and me with a couple channels open in Reason).

The Freshmen

You’ve probably never heard of me until now. That is because I’ve been learning how to do this for the past however many years it’s been…

I grew up in the Northeastern United States near Boston in a town called Danvers. I currently reside in Salem Mass. Oddly enough I live in the same town my ancestor ‘Sarah Wildes’ (one of the witches) from the Witch Trials lived. I might be a wizard… fingers are crossed.

I left my small suburbian hometown to join the Air Force. There I was a 9s100, someone who detected for nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. It was a pretty cool gig for a while, but after my enlistment, I decided to try a ‘real job’, so I began working for FiServ Lending solutions as as a supervisor. I realized very shortly after that, I did not want to live life in a cubical. From there I decided that an education was an education, to me at least, so I went to the nearest large school in the area, the University of Central Florida. Not so shortly after furthering my education there… with just a few classes remaining for my business degree, I decided to stop. Years of college slowly led me back to a career field with another cubicle. 

I took some classes at Berklee with their online program, which was very good. I feel I have enough knowledge banked up to get a good number of my long list of songs I have until recently been unable to get from pen and paper to audio.

There was a time in college where I was a lost soul. A strange number of occurences of new friends and old have molded me into the man I am today. From my first memory until now, I have many many stories to put into song. From the time I was a small child, to yesterday even. You may notice some of these songs are pretty full of emotion. Well… what can I say , I’m an emotional fuckin guy.

And here I am now. :)

I am finally able to produce some songs I’ve had written for a looooonnnggg time, a LOT more ‘wicked good’ music is to come, at least nine moleskin notebooks worth! 

NOTE: Not all tracks on here is 100% complete, enjoy the raw versions, and when I have it mastered (or do it myself ) if you like it enough, you can purchase! Cheers!
