Wrote this song for the SongMakers program. It was written and recorded in two days with a bunch of really talented musicians I had the privilege of collaborating with. Please enjoy, and feedback is always appreciated.

Take it easy
No need to rush this,
Let's just talk this out
How ya doin'? 
There are so many things to say to you
I have never felt this way,
To anyone or anything
You make me nervous,
In a way that's more than butterflies

I want so much more than this
But where are we supposed to go from here?
Something's not working
What have we missed?
My hands are shaking,
My heartbeat skips
I want more than this

It's complicated
It's all so new to me
I have my fears and doubts
I am coping,
But not as well as I'd like to be and now,
At the end of the day,
It's you and me,
Don't be afraid of what they think

I want so much more than this
Just fall into me,
and we'll get through it
Something is different,
And I'm ready for it
Your eyes are paradise,
Your lips are bliss
I want more than this

More Than This

'Memories' was written for a particular scene from the Pixar movie UP for a music assignment. This song is different from 'More Than This', because unlike 'More Than This', which was recorded and mixed by a professional producer, 'Memories' was written, recorded and mixed by a seventeen year old kid that had no idea what he was doing (AKA me). With a lot of outside help, I managed to pull this together, finally, and this is what I have so far. There are still a few things I want to work on with it, but I'm happy enough at the moment to at least show it to people. Hope you like it.

Memories flow through me,
Like pen to paper
Voices echo through me,
But I will not waver

Time didn't change a thing
This scar still hurts as much as it did,
When he took you away from me 

How long will it take for you,
To fall into me just like we used to?
I can still taste you on my fingertips,
As sweet as you were all those years before

Do you think of me?
Are you missing me?
'Cause I think of you all the time
You're always on my mind (I can't get you out of my head) 
And who would know each story that these pictures could tell,
The turn nostalgia into my very own personal hell
Who would know that paper cuts so deep? 

How long will it take for you,
To fall into me just like we used to?
I can still taste you on my fingertips,
As sweet as you were all those years before


Memories

Just a protest song I had to do for school. The lyrics speak for themselves really

--

You talk about change,
But all I hear is white noise
It takes one to know one, it takes to know one
You talk about hope, 
But all I hear is do and don't,
Ask too many questions
Don't ask so many questions

'Cause all we know is all we have
So who are we to hide the facts?

So sing it loud,
For no one else to hear a sound,
We talk about these problems that we do nothing about
So let's just go,
And be the change you wanna see
It's the person deep inside you just waiting to break free

'Cause all we know is all we have
So who are we to hide the facts?

Don't preach to me your false sense of judgment,
About how corporate is corrupt and so is the government,
When you sit there in your neon Nike shoes,
Shouting exposition from underground media news
The world's fucked and we're all going under,
While you chow down on food that was probably plundered,
From some poor soul in Thailand, Africa or something,
And you have the nerve to tell me to stand for something?
Well if you're the one that's right, then I don't wanna be wrong,
'Cause while you sit there bitching,
The world you say you love will be gone

When all we know is not enough,
Is it better to die trying or just give up?


All We Know

Falling

I write music that allows me to fully express the way I feel in the moment. I don't really like to write anything unless it means something to me. The music I will upload here will basically be for my own enjoyment, so if you find something that you enjoy as well, then that makes it all even better. :)
