Would You Be

 did this (THE WHOLE THING) with an IPad.

The notion of sound in my brain has escaped into these seven works.  The 80's, Prince, The Police, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz, Joan Jett and more were inspirations swirled together like chocolate and vanilla ice cream, or a Canadian couple before the 1950's. I have been working on these songs for nine months. I have not been trained to play any instruments and I'm sure my degree is a BFA in Media Arts and Animation.  Still, I love music and I always have.  I remember being put in morning detention at Our Lady Queen of Peace (DC catholic school).  I was five years old. I ran around the schoolyard singing "Let's go crazy, let's get nuts!" (Prince - Purple Rain) after being dropped off by my mother who was singing along with me five minutes prior. The morning nuns (haha good band name) only heard the "NUTS" part.  Music and I have been getting into trouble together ever since. These seven songs are just that, songs. I felt it, I saw it when I went to sleep and I heard cool stuff and things and I wanted to record them. But again, not a musician musician with instruments and stuff... so what to do?  IPAD! So myself and the ipad had a little three way with garageband and bam!  nine months later... a beautiful little sexymusic baby was born.  I'm not backed by a label, I have no publisher and don't quite care for one.  I don't feel like paying for anything but copy right to be real.  It cost nothing but my spare time to make this thing that I love.  People have a need to succeed in what they do.  For my music, my success is even doing this, if you don't know what it feels like to hear your head out loud...  it's amazing!  I was told when I was a kid music is universal, so I'm just giving a little bit to the universe.

Enjoy,

Lyrics

All my love
All my time
All my Tree to the vine
How on earth could I be fine
Pricked by the porcupine 
Seriously calculate
Numeric quadratic fate
Hurry up don't be late
Plant your feet the earth will quake 

Trouble comes yes I know
Back, forth, to and froe
Up N' down
yeah we go
Up N' down yeah we go 
Trouble comes yes I know
Trouble comes yes I know

No siry 
Don't agree 
Got alotta stones in me
Refried reciprocity 
All the soap won't make it clean
I will fight
I will scream
I will live a million dreams
Perched atop a victory
Come on now I'll help you see 

Trouble comes yes I know
Back, forth, to and froe
Up N' down
yeah we go
Up N' down yeah we go 
Trouble comes yes I know
Trouble comes yes I know
