Lyrics :

Crazy thoughts all through my head, Thinking of you
Should I lie with someone else, What should I do
Think I need some distance, Leave you behind
Please give me just one more drink, To ease my mind

Where were you when I needed you most 
You packed your bags and headed off for the coast
Where were you when I needed you most 
But now, I've lost you forever


Thoughts running through my mind
Waiting for the phone
While Im lying here
Lying here all alone

I tried my best to please you, But you don't understand
You thought our sex was great, But I'd rather use my hand
As I stumble out of bed, My feet hit the floor
I hope it's you, I know it's you that's, Knocking at my door

Bard's Woman in the Cool of the Summer Breeze

With the Sun in your Belly

With the Sun in my Belly (A.J. Kaufmann)with Sound Animal

don't mess with me
better not mess with me
you haven't done your research
you should not mess with me

does it bring you comfort
to believe what you believe?
does it make you feel important & good?
does it whisper that you're better than them?
what's it telling you about them?

if you preach reality 
but wanna force your fantasy
you better come at me a billion strong
if I see the edge of your empathy
I will block you endlessly
you better not come to me a billion wrong!

looking for the word, it's infinitesimal
raise your walls and build a world in which you rule—
just stories told by the fire

looking for a purpose bigger than animal
cook up tall tales filled with heavens for the soul—
add worry, stir in denial

they told ya I'm just a culture robot 
they fooled ya, you're not a soldier of God
your prayers oil their affairs
all this First World shit, built on your worship, yeah!

if you preach reality but wanna sell your fantasy
you better come at me a billion strong
let me see your empathy, are you using it selectively?
you better not come to me a billion wrong!

looking for forgiveness (sin is so delectable)
mixing pleasure with business is how you can rake it all
your gods will forgive your desire

going to make improvements (in the next world)
it’s unfortunate this greed you can’t control
but your god’s grace has outpriced his ire

now they’ll entertain you
and you are the menu
they’ll wine and design you
your own likes define you

they don’t want your prayer
they just need you scared
they don’t want your worship
your feed’s your own bullshit

but they don’t mess with me
no, they don’t mess with me
cause why mess with me
I’m just the real thing
so they can’t mess with me

you’re glassed out of my empire
I’ve no notion of what’s evil or good
and yet you’re asking me to hold your truths!
I can tell you it’s no use...

if you seek reality but wanna bring your fantasy
you better come at me a billion strong
as for your empathy, if you don’t use it, it’ll atrophy
you better not come to me a billion wrong!

A Billion Wrong

JUST A SONG

I know rats.
I know where Syd Barrett lives.

Rats

I'm not a liar
I'm gonna dig you down
I'm not a liar
I'm gonna dig you down

I'm gonna turn you to a big black spider
Watch out

It's gonna get you now

I'm gonna come and get you
I'm gonna get you when it's coming
I'm gonna come and get you

It's just me crawling from the fire
I can't stop
I'm gonna get you now

I'm gonna come and get you
I'm gonna get you when it's coming
I'm gonna come and get you

You know I'm right here in the den
I'm gonna bite right back again
You know I'm gonna get you
Come on now
If I don't start acting crazy
I'll fly away

Like a gentle wind today
I'm gonna come and get you now

I'm gonna come and get you
I'm gonna get you when it's coming
I'm gonna come and get you

I'm not a liar
I'm gonna dig you down
I'm not a liar
I'm gonna dig you down
I'm gonna turn you to a big black spider
Watch out
It's gonna get you now
It's gonna get you now

The Black Spider Dig-Down

Hoffnung wächst aus Melancholie - so wie der Triumpf aus der Sehnsucht zum Sieg.

Eingängige Piano-Passagen, begleitet durch rhythmische Streicher und Bläser, verbinden sich zu einem immer opulenteren, hoffnungsvolleren Klang.  

"Hope" ist eine neoklassische Orchester-Komposition mit Einflüssen aus Filmmusik und Minimal Music.

Independent artist making songs that rock.

I don’t know about you but I miss hearing songs that just rock.  A couple of guitars, bass, drums, vocals, and harmonies make such a powerful combination.  It’s this power and energy that I’m after in the songs I record.
I perform all parts on these recordings unless otherwise specified. I’m primarily a guitar player and never considered myself a singer but I started doing it to complete my songs and I may be finding a voice for myself.
I’m open to collaboration so reach out if you’d like to work on some tracks.  I don’t have any rap on my tracks, don’t listen to much rap, but I have a couple of incomplete songs I’m interested in brining some rap into.  So let me know if any of you rappers want to collaborate with a rocker.
Recording, mixing, mastering is just as much of a hobby as playing the music is.  If you’d like another ear on your mix or some mastering done, drop me a message.  I’m not looking for money for it, just the opportunity to practice my skills on other artists work, see what I can do, and help a fellow musician.
Finally, I’m looking to put together a band to see how my songs work live.  Reach out if you’re interested and in the RDU area.  Follow me on my social media links to get the latest updates on the journey and share some music and laughs.
Cheers!
