Fuck-you Gospel. Evil will grow even when we burn it down. Keep your fire burning

Even In The Light

It’s a reboot; it’s a remake;
it’s a reshoot; it’s a replay.
Its a cash grab, but its a hashtag
so it’s a hit.

It’s a statement; it’s a warning;
it’s a metaphor and it’s important.
It didn’t work last time, but hell maybe this time 
it’ll stick.

It’s a theme; it’s a repetition,
it’s a variation—the next edition.
It’s gonna be bigger and better and badder
than it’s ever been.

Ain’t your grandpa’s, ain’t your mama’s
ain’t your uncle’s, ain't your papa’s.
It’s all for you, and in fact,
I’ve never even heard of them.

	You don’t know what you’re missing.
	Almost no one ever does.
	There might be pretty good fishing beneath your ark,
	might be blood on the beak of your dove.

There’s a hold-up; there’s a problem.
We got issues, we gotta solve ‘em.
There’s someone standing in between
you and your fun.

It’s a lawsuit, it’s a petition,
say they can’t work in these conditions.
They're just lazy, 
a little hard work never killed anyone.


They got a union, they got a clubhouse,
they got a theme song, they’re gonna walk-out.
They’re just greedy, 
they think they can make us pay.

Don’t you worry, don’t you sweat it,
I got a buddy in the senate.
He’s got a bill that’ll kill their momentum,
and keep em in their place.

Cause the show must go on,
at least that’s what they say.

	You don’t know what you’re missing.
	Almost no one ever does.
	There might be pretty good fishing beneath your ark,
	might be blood on the beak of your dove.

There you have it, there’s the process
to make a blockbuster and be a success.
You gotta chop down a few trees
to make a little mulch.

Just watch the movie,
those folks’ll be fine.
Eat your popcorn,
you’re on the right side.
You deserve a break and some peace of mind.
After all, you can’t spell culture without cult.

Leave You Later

Linger

A song for the folks who have had to work during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is going to take more than just commercials thanking them for their effort; we are all going to have to remember their bravery and sacrifice and work towards making a society where they aren't disregarded as soon as they are no longer classified "essential."

Think Of Me

A song about getting lost to find yourself

For My Health

New song “Even in the Light” available now!

After emerging from quarantine to release new music earlier this year, all I wanted was to build a community around these songs. Music has a unique ability to become a part of your life and bring people together. Besides the money and the fame, I just want people to find folks who support them through the music I make. 

“Even in the Light” is a rallying cry for that community. I wanted to make a song that was raucous but also a meditative reminder that we have to keep pushing for the world we want to see. The voices of oppression are far from silenced, and if we don’t sing louder than they spew rhetoric we’ll never get anywhere. Keep singing. Keep your fire burning. Evil is growing.
