Thank You

Recording from the video I made of this song for my YouTube Channel

When I Look in Your Eyes (YouTube)

Just uploaded a new EP to streaming platforms (not sure how long it takes to upload without a release date). Super short. Here's the first track!

This is not too early
This is just my friend
Early early early early earlier than I had planned
Hi morning, I shouldn't be surprised
It's pouring and the sound it keeps you out until you're not.

This is not my water
These are not my eyes
Over over over overflowing from the thoughts I have
Hi morning, I beg to hear you see me
It's stormy all the sudden tree's are falling with your bass strings

Even all the right things all at once can take up space
Lately I'm a brighter shade of color and a lighter shade of space
Bass strings
Even all the right things all at once can take up space
Lately I'm a brighter shade of color and a lighter shade of space

Bass Strings

now you know

Burrow Alone

A View (featuring lucy duke)

I've been frustrated with recording my "real" songs, so i decided to record this little thing I made.

tell me why

little bit more

I thought about the glow
the light I see not far below
I'm all about the glow

I thought about the wind
if a pleasant breeze blows through your hair
you will find me there

I thought about the waves
they can kiss the shore and kiss your skin
I want to jump in

I thought about the love
it's 1,000,000,000 songs that wont shut up

I'm all about the love

Glow

He're is a song I wrote in the spirit of christmas! It's just a cute little lovey cute song thingy. I hope you have a lovely holiday!

we saw the snow fall down
the rain it had froze when it leaked from the clouds
follow the trail to town
the children they'll sing where we all gather round

saw you in the window my darling
green eyes with red shirt and shining so sweet
i want to hold you now
freckled with flakes 'round your nose and your mouth

we mustn't burn too bright
said the tree to the bulbs as we're sleeping at night
drift into midnight dreams
or follow the lines as you lay next to me


green eyes with red shirt (holiday song!)

what'd it feel like then
with the stones we could throw, with the lake
and the glow

could you hollar then
you could say what you want
and i'd take it apart

hear the music play
it can ring out from fall to spring

what'd it feel like then
with your love
pressing down

I would wait for it again
but if i could id take it now

i'm a simple man
so just leave me a stone to throw

Back When

gathering dust

lay back down
next to me

follow sound
to the things

that you want now
but cannot see

lay back down
fall asleep

Down

I'm done sitting around for a little while
Here comes a chance to break the style
But I keep waiting around on your name

We're on the tracks and we're looking down
and I'm kicking glass just to make a sound
but I keep pressing it all on your name

Now I'm waiting around for a thicker hyde
I'm aware it will take some time
I keep sitting around on your name

your name

Just a silly song I wrote the other night when I couldn't sleep. It's been a while since I put anything new up!

:)

hope you enjoy it!

The Mountains Ears - Demo

I cant
concentrate when lookin in your eyes
im staring at the ocean inside
cant concentrate when looking in your eyes

I know these feelings that i dont know how to show
how can i reveal this glow
these feelings that I dont know how to show

we've been standing still yet slowly traveling
to places far and close within
standing still yet slowly travelin

and we say i would love you each and every day
its not often that i feel this way
I would love you each and every day

I walk 
with you and we do not have to talk
and I dont think we'll ever stop
walking and and we do not have to talk

I cant concentrate when looking in your eyes
im staring at the ocean inside
cant concentrate when lookin in your eyes

Spot On (demo)

one of my songs recorded for a video I made on my porch

Glow (outside recording)

i'm in the kitchen with a knife in hand 
trying to figure it out but i can't
i'm getting sick of making rice for two
you bring the veggies and i've got the noods?

i'm in the garden with my dad's old camera
i'm taking pictures but i don't understand it
what really happens light shines through
it doesn't add up but i love what it's doin

back to the kitchen but with pascale's camera
i'm taking pictures with no clear agenda
and i think i'm ready to enjoy the food
i hope she's happy and likes what she's doin

Pascale's Camera

So Much More (Demolition)

Just a song I wrote last night, and did a quick demo of this morning! thought I'd share it!

Easily

One by One

It's time to stop
Don't watch the clock
Let the complication breathe
And then care about things

I'm done with time
And I'm torn with life
There's a form that fits the key
Am I yours to keep?

boom, boom boom!

If I'd know 
I was the joke
If there's nothin' to defend
Then I'd tell my friends

Hold on, slow down
Let's talk it out
In a town made of steel
I want what's real (mmm... cheese :)

It's a common thread
Where the mountains lay to rest
And the valley is formed
And the water pushes fourth
If we both decide to live in the coveted light
Then I wouldn't mind

La da dum...

Yes I know
I wanted more
When the comic sent the fleet
See, I care about things

Alright, so
If I was to go
Well then how would it feel
Do I want to know?

And lets wait
And then fade away
When the moonlight hits a thorn
I'm gonna move that way

Yours to Keep

Trying 2 learn the drums my friends :) 

It's important to learn new things every now and again. Also, it's reallllly important to go outside often. 

Love ya!
