(Lyrics)

Count up your losses and see where you are
The world doesn't love you, so stop shooting, Star

God gave you the right to shine
But I can't find the light that's mine

Looking for wisdom, your loser's bet
Add up your chances, subtract your regrets

God gave you the right to shine
But I can't find the light that's mine

God gave you, God gave you
Can't hear you, can't hear you

Right To Shine

Shakespeare's famous speech from MACBETH, set to a dark soundtrack.

I got some help from my kids on this one. They handled the dramatic reading and the synth parts.

Out Brief Candle (Macbeth reimagined)

Eulogy for American author Cormac McCarthy. All lines are from his novel, SUTTREE.

The Huntsman And His Hounds (or, Eulogy for Cormac McCarthy)

The Look Back

A slower jam mix of hip-hop beats, guitar, and experimental synth

The Hungry One

Nostalgic synthwave instrumental. 

Imagine the street where you grew up. Later in life, you visit and find the house empty, yourself a stranger in a place you knew well. This track tries to capture that feeling.

A Street We Once Knew

Upbeat song inspired by The Cure.

Lyrics:

there she goes dancing, staring at the ceiling again
blasting off without our permission again
why can’t we all be
a little more like her

I’ve been rotting in the pit of daily events
can you even tell where my time went
why can’t we all be
a little more free


Chorus:
and would you take a chance
could I have this dance
to this last song

there she goes dancing, staring at the ceiling again
it’s a dance, why can’t I just join in?
why can’t we all care a little less
and feel more

a child of each moment, no regret
for each love felt, and each love left
why can’t we all be
a little closer to…


Outro:
and can i have a chance
just say you’ll dance
to this last song X2

Could we be so free
that you’d dance with me
to this last song

Last Song

Maverick

Settled

Noisy track with catchy bass line. Spoken reflection on oversharing on social media.

Now Your Thoughts Are Everywhere

I write instrumentals with an emotional nostalgic core; also some guitar-based rock stuff with a post-punk influence. Based in North Carolina.
