I finally got my new Pro Tools rig going!! Now on Mac... Time to record Again! This is the first thing.... An old tune recorded now as "Penny". Enjoy!

Penny

This is a later version of the New Year Song. the guitars are tighter but there is something I miss about the old vocal... I don't know... maybe I am crazy. Happy New Year!

New Year Song

Another Dress tune recorded Acoustically. Cory TenBrink on vocals, Jonah Dolan on Djembe, and me on gitars

So Far From Me

One of the last tunes Cory and I  wrote before the band completely disbanded. I wrote the words knowing it was the end... kind a sad, but I love this song.

Dusty Rose

A little dirty, a little rough around the edges
The way you rearranged to find the beauty of
It's like you took a hard look at my life, said what is not will be
No telling how many times you cut your hands holding me

and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You're like staring at a light you wash away the things I've seen
and you taught me how not to say “Oh I'm a victim of”
You're a constant contradiction of what you see is what you get
You're so beautiful how could it be you'd have a heart like that

and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You took a hell of a chance to show me what I need 
You changed the way that I believe 
Your friends all say there is better out there than me.

Does it seem you'd fall for a whiskey drinking fiend
My name don't have a dime especially not a man done time
I thank god you’re loving me I thank the bottle I get through
The way they always look at me when I go anywhere with you.
 
and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose
