This is DM5's version of Ascension by Maxwell.  We don't have too much recorded yet but here's a little sizzle of us playing live last weekend.

Falling too Fast

Live acoustic recording of the Beatles classic.
I had a conversation with a percussionist at the 3rd Street & Fairfax Whole Food about John Lennon, and thought this would be a good song to record for my pay day session for today.

Across The Universe

This is a song I composed while on a canoe trip with my girlfriend Arlene. My friends will have seen the video that has this track as the accompaniment.

Gravity

Booty Booty

Hits with raw emotion and a moody, alt-rock vibe that speaks to new world anxiety and self-discovery. With gritty riffs, pulsing drums, and lyrics that unpack fear, avoidance, and inner growth, it’s a song about realizing the things we run from might actually set us free. A stripped-back bridge gives space to breathe before the final chorus and guitar solo crash in. Think Radiohead meets Ethel Cain — dark, honest, and quietly hopeful.

We Just Don't Know

Ascension

Another song from my coming album, 'Cure for Tarantism'. This one inspired by, written for, & dedicated to my first found soulmate & the girl I loved as a child, & evermore. Still, the best friend I've ever had. I miss her every day. Besides walking, dancing, & laughing beside me, she was the most beautiful, talented, silly, loving, & wise spirit I've ever known. Dead at 16, she lives on through those of us who love her, & for me, she lives in every single thing of beauty I create. <3
