Stress Pt. 1

I was waiting on the bay side 

I know.

You made my eye squint 

& then my day start 

My dog?


Am I scared?

Or is my taste high?

With my spit 

I let my face hide

Uh - Uh

Baby, spin about my way side 

I - I could love you from waist high?

Yeah - my nose stiff

Got me stiff - type

Bubble my sense 

To get my…

My knee lost skin 

Bubba, please stop 

I just lost it - but

I can’t decide



(Hook)

I can't 

I can't hold on to what I lost already    

that’s my girl

I can 

I can hold on

to what I lost already 

that's my girl 


(outro)

well ain't far - just jump to me 

scars you peered through these 

baby? 

i'd raise this room 

ceilings ain't shit to me 

you know.




I found my peace in sheets 

for the last time 

please don't leave you to side now   

baby I wish for thee 

that you'll love of the sea 

now I see 

that love don't dust    

just reshape the seeds huh?

i'll bounce repeat

bounce repeat   

laid upon my lap when I played the keys

gave my keys to you 

my home - this ❤️ you see  

i'll do it again

this time 

MY SOUL -

was born to love 

never a fool 

am I fool to self preserve or sacrifice 

is it the same or not?

BANDCAMP: https://aerate.bandcamp.com/album/n1603-vi-dub-of-a-lifetime

i know that in the tapemusic community im considered the guy who only flips house music nowadays LOL but its for a good reason and it comes from a personal place. hearing my dad put on todd terry for the first time as a kid was an experience that cant really be unmatched in my mind, it was like opening a whole can of worms on a genre that i felt was almost tailored specifically for me. house music is the reason i love music as much as i do, it invigorated a passion that i didn't have before and it saved my life on numerous occasions. there is no possible way that i could fully articulate what house music has done for me in just a simple paragraph, so i feel the best way to do it is to list all the house artists that changed my life and ultimately led to the creation of this album.

this album would not exist if not for:
Schmoov!
Todd Terry
Larry Heard
Ananda Project
Wamdue Kids
Atjazz
Mike Grant
Callisto (aka DKMA aka Dana Kelley aka Andrastea) (1965-2013)
Mike Huckaby (1966-2020)
Hugo LX
Hanna
Herbert
Homecookin'
Kaskade
technoUCHI
Physics
The Rurals
Turbulent
