Come Alive (Slowed and Reverb)

Passing By (Slowed and Reverb)

My attempt to rip off Bon Iver and Novo Amor (as usual)

When I Get There (Demo)

Piano ballad about when your friends don’t text or call you back and feed you excuses about why they’re too busy to love you back

Know Better (Demo)

Soil and blood
It all washes out with the rain
My mouth stayed shut
But you and I know we’re not the same

I wasn’t there
I was found in flame
Someone you knew
I was just bound to fail

Boiling blood
Figures in shades of pain
Why did you stay so long if
I was all to blame

I wasn’t there
I was found in flame
Someone you knew
I was just bound to fail

Found In Flame (Demo)

Until we pull the thread
Inside voices in my head
Dreams are feeling surreal
I can’t tell if they’re real
Please god, do what you can
We know I’m just a terrible man

If I sleep I’ll just do bad things
And no it’s not a sin, no it’s not a sin
Sleep until I’m in something that I can control

Armies, driving milk carton tanks
Random, firing missiles in bed
Planes fall and I’m caught right underneath
Bomb squad is chasing me fast asleep

If I sleep I’ll just do bad things
And no it’s not a sin, no it’s not a sin
Sleep until I’m in something that I can control

Dreamsong (Demo)

Every time we talk about it you open up
Revolving doors and radios
Outside your house   

Tell me how you’re feeling now
We break apart, we come around
Does it really matter how
I buried what you would allow

To you
To you
Does it really matter to you?

It doesn’t seem I feel the same when you cover up
Closing doors won’t change it now
I’m finding out

Tell me how you’re feeling now
We break apart, we come around
Does it really matter how
We found some place to meet somehow

To you
To you
Does it really matter to you?

Please? I’m not ready
Waiting in the next room
Staring just like last June

Grieve? I’m not ready
Screaming like I lost him
You’re the one who lost it

Sorry? I’m not ready
My body’s not like you
Nobody’s just like you

Leave? I’m not ready
Crying in the back room
Never coming back home

Brothers (Demo)

James Edward is an American songwriter whose sound is fresh but nostalgic, taking listeners through themes of the human condition, love, loneliness, and desire. Their debut EP, "All That We Have", contains songs that feel very dreamy, and dance between genres, with a focus on vocal layering, lush guitars, and orchestral arrangements. Lyrically, there's a heart of commitment and endurance through life's most difficult and unsteady times, the fleeting nature of existence, a yearning to be with the ones you love, and adjusting to new, unexpected ways of living through tragedy and uncertainty. The EP is produced by Eric Andrew Taylor (Bryan & Katie Torwalt, Logan Pilcher, Skylar Capri) and mastered by Jonathan Berlin (JOHNNYSWIM) and was released September 30, 2022.
