Spent a long time on this one. Probably the most complex song out of any other song I've ever written with a bass track, two guitar tracks, vocal lead, and vocal harmonies. It ain't perfect but I'm learning. Hope you enjoy my work.

Lyrics:
I'm at the gas station with no set destination in mind
Counting white lines on the freeway just to pass the time

The people and the places and all the different faces are fine
But "The Times They Are A-Changin'" by Bob Dylan is on my mind

Time seems to come and go
The past is the past, this much I know

I stopped to take a look but my fingers they were stuck in both ears
Dust surrounds a place I haven't seen in years

I can't seem to let it go
But the past is the past, this much I know

So I packed up my stuff, said "that's tough", and hit the 405
That's the last time I took that lonely 4-hour drive

Time seems to come and go
The past is the past this much I know

The people and the places and all the different faces are fine
But I can't seem to let it go
The past is the past, this much I know

The past is the past, this much I know
Some say life moves way too fast, others say it's slow
Lemme wrap my head around that...

Tough

Here's a cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "Crooked Teeth" off of their album Plans.

Hazel Eyed Interlude

I just kind of played my favorite chord progressions on piano for a little while and then played some notes on the guitar. These are both the first take so don't expect anything insane. 

This is study music or perhaps just general life music, I don't know.

I thought it would be fun to cover a track off of Jawbreaker's classic 24 Hour Revenge Therapy album so I made a little project out of it. Hope you enjoy 👍👍

I hit the record button and saved the file.

Experimenting with a bunch of layers, synth, creativity.

Anticipate

The inspiration for this exercise came from a BADBADNOTGOOD track called "Lavender" that Snoop Dogg wrote lyrics for (post BBNG's original release) and ended up being included in his 2017 album Neva Left. It's a real humdinger.
