This is a song I wrote last year, and it's the true story of one day when I decided to just drive out to San Gregorio beach, south of Half Moon Bay.  It's always been my favorite beach, and this song is about the incomparable feeling of peace and restoration I feel when I get to walk by those waves.  
Also, today is my Mom's birthday, and she's been wanting me to record this for far too long.  So here you go, Mom, Happy Birthday!  :)

"Wash Me Clean"

I took a trip to the beach one day
Couple dollars in my pocket, got a gallon on the way
Didn’t know where I was goin
I just knew I had to flow
And sometimes you gotta get away
 
Jump out of the car, fall into the breeze
Run down to the beach, fall down on my knees
Feel the holiest ghost
And I’m greetin my host
As I cry out to the seas
 
Wash me clean, wash me clean
Cleanse my soul, take the load off me
Wash me clean, wash me clean
In your arms, I can be released.
 
Walk out across the endless sand, 
With my outstretched heart in my outstretched hand
And the wind keeps blowing
But I just keep going
Coz I gotta lose sight of the land
 
I remember that I knew right then, 
Lose myself to the ocean and I’d find myself again
As the storms blow around me,
Sweet waters have found me
I’m the luckiest man among men
 
Chorus

Breakdown
 
Verse 1 repeat
 
Where land meets sea, and sea meets sky
I’ll wander back to those waters wide
Be baptized in that sacred tide
Embrace me now, I pray
 
Chorus x3

I can be released,
I can be released,
I will be released,
I have been released.

Wash Me Clean

A really beautiful song from Young the Giant before they were what they are today; maybe consider going back to something like this?  

Take Me Home - The Jakes cover

Do You Even Know Me? - demo

Acoustic demo of the "first single" from our eventually forthcoming EP!  My apologies for my questionable high range lol.  Great lead vocals from the awesome Miguel Guerrero!  Songwriting cred to Miguel, Nathan Suh, Harry Liu, and myself.  

Lost At Love ft. Miguel Guerrero

We really liked Zooey Deschanel and JGL's cover of this song, so we decided to make one ourselves! Then ended up adding in parts from every instrument that Nick had readily available. 

:)

What Are You Doing New Year's - cover

Old demo.  Maybe more to come pretty soon.

Hello - Demo

Music, lyrics, & instrumentals by yours truly

As I was walking by the creek today,
I saw a shimmer in the blue
The sunny dazzle swam before my eyes
And filled my heart with something true - 
Something so bright, it was like somebody turned on the light

I looked above me and the sky smiled
With puffy clouds across its face
Looked around me, everything was so alive
I was grounded in my place
But at the same time, I was lifted, lifted so high

I know that I am the luckiest guy 

Who could want more?
What can I say -
Never seen it before, 
But now it's a brand new day

I can't believe it took so long to see
What was right under my nose
But now I've got it and it's oh, so clear to me
That I will never let it go-
Oh, heaven knows, and I believe, it's exactly what I need

Mmm, 
Oh yes indeed, like living a dream

Who could want more?
What can I say - 
Never seen it before, 
But now it's a brand new day

Oh my god, the world is so beautiful -

Who could want more?
What can I say - 
Never seen it before, 
But now it's a brand new day

Da da da
The world is so beautiful
Every day
In every single little way
So beautiful
Mmm

Lyrics:
Oceans of blue, under gray skies I've seen
I wander through, in the calm in between
Follow my brothers, now I know what it means
To be one, 
To be part of forever, to be one.

Blanket of green on the path, overgrowing
Dappled light streams to my heart, overflowing
I am at peace, and I feel myself knowing
I am one
I am part of forever, I am one.

Some folks try to find a new way
To find a truth much greater than themselves
But I can see in every waking new day
The Mother's path will always treat you well.

Sun-sodden leaves seem to glow in the evening
As the world sighs, I can feel my life breathing
And in this moment, I'll always believe
I am one
I am part of forever, I am one
I am part of forever, I am one.
