Radiate is a Pop/Rock Snack ala Weezer / Spacehog / The Knack.  it celebrates all the amazing ladies out there.

Radiate

It's that glorious feeling of reuniting with an old friend...the memories, the beauty, the laughter... Right Where We Belong is my reaction to the US Covid lockdown of 2020.  This period of time allowed me to reflect on what really matters and I was dreaming of the day I'd get to be with my friends and family again.

Right Where We Belong

Facing our demons is scary + difficult, but when we don’t face them head on, they 'sneak out the Backdoor' and manifest in odd ways. We lie to ourselves and say all is better, all is well. This is a letter to my loved ones to let them know that I have demons too 'I’m fallin with you' and that I’m here for them.

Backdoor

“Move the dial 1% / A hundred years for an inch.”  Year after year, generation after generation, the same social and political fights rage on with little or no progress to show for it.  Every now and then something or someone rattles the slow order and those events raise some optimism and gratitude…but it always seems like too little too late.  It’s frustrating, scary and sad to think of the world we’ve left for children, and I ponder if we’ve done enough for them, how things are for them, and if there is hope.  It's amazing how fast technology has accelerated in juxtaposition with the slow moving world.  In fact, technology might be making things worse by distracting us, dividing us and creating mistrust.   While the song brings to light many problems we continue to face, it has an exciting inspirational feel to it.  Musically, this was influenced by early Radiohead and U2. There is also a nod to Drive by REM at the end of the song.

Hey There Kids!

The Real Kind is about someone who has been burned one too many times.  They've learned from their experiences and are determined to not put up with any bs anymore.   At this point, they've got nothing to lose and want to live their best life with only the realest people.

The Real Kind

This is a song of hope for the unheard...the underdogs who are going it alone. Together we can make it

We Always Win

Smh is a song about the complicated human experience as it relates to social media...the frustration, the loneliness, the hypocrisy of judging it but also wanting to be seen.

All my life I’ve been looking for some kind of purpose, meaning, and satisfaction. Religion promised to deliver it. Drugs made things worse - and that life lead me down a dark road. It didn't occur to me that I was searching and trying to fill a void until I got sober.  For years I worked on myself and my recovery.  It saved my life (and continues to do so one day at a time)  but I still felt there was something missing.  What can I say?  Man cannot live on self-care alone.  It wasn't until I met my now fiance that I realized Love was the missing piece.

This is All I Ever Needed

Confetti is about dealing with the end of things; be it a relationship or life...specifically the need to hold on. Confetti as imagery is meant to juxtapose the somber tone of the song to represent the mixed feelings that come with life's conclusions. Olfactory is one of the most powerful ways to trigger memory - hence "the scent is what you're after"

Foo Fighters meets early Oasis on this melodic Indie Alternative Rock Track about helping someone you love in the throws of Meth Addiction

The Highway

Snow Days is about feeling overwhelmed and avoiding life. I wrote it when I was in my active addiction (14 years ago). It's a song that was leftover from my first band - Stonethrown. It's a mellow acoustic jazzy vibe and not everyone in that band agreed that that song was representative of what we were about - that may be part of why it was never properly recorded until now.

Snow Days

An abstract portrayal of depression in heartbreak

My Favorite Shuffle

Strobe

A song that challenges the status quo dream of 9-5 life.  Finding a passion to live for and doing whatever it takes to pursue it.

Dark Circles

Something Good

The world is becoming saturated with information and I don't know what to believe.   I don't know who or what to trust - it becomes too much to take, but in the midst of this overwhelming whirlwind, I remember that love still exists.  It is the one thing I can hold on to.

1000 Ways

An observation of the world as it becomes more technologically advanced.  Our social interactions are changing, and our threshold for pleasure is, if not higher, different.  It's our choice to let it over take us or step away from it.

Fate is an epic rock track that drips with melody and leaves you with a feeling of satisfaction and wonder.  It's about the randomness of life and how that can be both tragic and beautiful.
