Hi Karlton. A sleepless night arrived and here I am...

Anniversary (Autoheart Loop Cover) - Live

Even the Darkness Has Arms (Barr Brothers Cover) - Live

Here For Us - Live

This song (demo) is for anyone who has struggled with depression or self-esteem issues.  The story is dark but the message at the end is one of hope. 

The song took 8 months to write and record because, like my last song, I am doing it all on my own, learning as I go, and wanting to write something a bit deeper than before. 

Lyrics:

I'm looking for someone to take me out of this place
Not for the night but out of this world
I've had all I can take of a loveless life
Can we get away?

I don't want to be here anymore
Things never turned out like I dreamed
I hate what I've become--
Why do you think I'm here?

Someone has to pay
Someone has to lose
That's the way of the world
That's the way of the world
If you want to change your hell
You have to change yourself
That’s the way of the world
That’s the way of the world

I looked in her eyes reflecting all my desire
I came here to hide from the world
It’s never too late – let’s escape
Into the night
Yes we can get away

I don't want to be here anymore
Things never turned out like I dreamed
I hate what I've become--
Why do you think I'm here?

Someone has to pay
Someone has to lose
That's the way of the world
That's the way of the world
If you want to change your hell
You have to change yourself
That’s the way of the world
That’s the way of the world

Maybe it’s for the best
I never really understood happiness
I’d really like to try…
One pill and it starts to fade
Two pills and I’m feeling no pain
Three pills and I can’t hear you
One more and I’m sailing across the sky

Maybe the world didn't turn out the way you wanted 
But do you really want to give up now
There's always love 
Just around the corner
Always coming over the hill 

Love is always coming
Over the hill
Love is always coming
Over the hill
And that’s the way of the world…


The Way Of The World

Best Condition

After years of not playing any music at all I finally started up again in 2012. I have posted a few demos from the early 90's and my new songs, with a goal to release 1 song per year.  In the Tracks page working from the bottom up it is older to newer songs (first 3 from the 90's).

I don't have any formal music training so to play all instruments and sing takes a long time. It took even longer to learn how to engineer and mix (I am still working on it!). 

I am just ready to put my music out there now and just see how it goes. I feel driven to record the music that keeps playing in my head all day and night. Tired of keeping it in.
