Caught on Candy

Motel California

Sometime before now, I was in the studio with a friend of mine who also writes songs for a living. As often happens when songwriters hang out, we were trading tunes. He would play one on the guitar, then I would play one. Back and forth…back and forth into the LA night. Eventually I played a song and my buddy asked me, “What inspired you to write that?” I told him it was the story of a relationship I used to have, mixed up with some things I’d just plain imagined. He looked in my eyes deeply, and in a tone that made the words seem of more than ordinary significance, he said, 

“Why don’t you just tell the truth?” 

That night I started this project. 

I Took a Pill in Ibiza, Buried in Detroit, Be As You Are, and Not That Simple are four songs selected from my upcoming album. They are best listened to the way they were written: at night, and alone. I hope you enjoy.

At Night, Alone.

Be As You Are

[Intro]
Sometimes the night don’t end, it just folds into the day.
I been driftin’, tryin’ to find my way.

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep my head above the smoke,
Tryna swim but I still choke.
Every mile feels the same,
But I walk it anyway.

[Chorus]
Hold me close, don’t fade away,
Even broken skies turn gray.
If I fall, would you still stay?
Love’s the light that shows the way.

[Verse 1]
I been sittin’ in the back with my thoughts on ice,
Tryna gamble with my time, yeah, I’m rollin’ the dice.
If the pain don’t heal, then I let it create,
Every scar that I wear got a story to paint.

They don’t see the cracks, just the shine in the glass,
I been writin’ down the future while I’m livin’ the past.
Tryna talk to myself, man, it sound like a friend,
If the road feel long, it still gotta end.

[Bridge]
Oooooh ooooh
Keep me steady, hold me down.
Oooooh ooooh
When the world spins ’round and 'round.

[Chorus]
Hold me close, don’t fade away,
Even broken skies turn gray.
If I fall, would you still stay?
Love’s the light that shows the way.

[Outro]
Show me the way, babe...
Mmmhmm,
I'm still here...
