Oh I like the ethereal sound. Oh your vocals sound great over the track - nice! Wow this is really special and sounds very authentic - your truth really come through. Not everyone might relate to exactly what you went through, but we have all been through something and you describe your reality in such a vivid and relatable way. I feel really pulled into your song. I really like the rhythm in the lyrics also - and the melody - very catchy. The title line is such a unique and clever way to describe not being able to sleep - which is very relatable. I think this song is a wow. I would probably like a bridge for a little departure if you get a chance to write another verse - oh I just checked your liner notes and you agree. I would love to hear the finished song - well done!

yeah this resonated man.  are we close in age?  "tryin not to die on the oregon trail"?  yeah man I think we are gen x'ers.  LOL.  I sure do relate to some of this.  man the vocal performance here is bowl-you-over powerful.  as is the production.  wow.  again what a masterful sense for pop hooks and vibe.  this is another hit.  are you like low key composing for a bunch of modern pop stars or something?  dude this is so impressive.  you are a literal goldmine.

"Trying not to die on the Oregon Trail" !! 👏🔥

oh man I'm so sorry Mark had to step in and get the prompt out for me! I just completely dropped the ball and forgot 🤦‍♀️ I love this though! I'm glad you still had time to create! The nostalgia here is great, I'm a sucker for that and I think people always identify even if the specific imagery does not exactly match their own...and I do love the imagery here. Also the hook with "listen to my pillow" followed by the ooohs, catchy and addictive. We used to listen to music on a tape player to go to sleep, not the same circumstance but I still connect

Here's a song I wrote and played.

When the ghosts get lost
And they're running far
From what they know well

Are they scared like me
Do they hide between
Where living folks dwell?

Your love is the holy ground
That I have made my life around
I hop that you'll be kind

When every tombstone's falling down
And whispers are the only sound
Who knows what we might find

Only these ghosts
Only these ghosts

If I'm acting strange
Know it's not from the pain
I've felt since you left

I'm just not myself
And I don't have to tell
You I'm not helpless

Your love is the holy ground
That I have made my life around
I hop that you'll be kind

When every tombstone's falling down
And whispers are the only sound
Who knows what we might find

Only these ghosts
Only these ghosts

SWU Week 2 Heatwave (DEMO)

Sometimes the things you think you want are insane
Sometimes its sunny and sometimes it rains
Sometimes you've given all you can take
Sometimes you just wanna get away and escape
Thinking back on all the things that did
And all the promises you made as a kid
Like how you were gonna fly to the moon
And you swore one day you'd ride in a hot air balloon
And...
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I coming
Please don't wait for me
Sometimes I feel I should be running home
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I'm coming home, or running away
And everybody thinks they got a good plan
They think the cracks in the road won' t sideline them
But then they do it's just what it is
Like how every good bottle of bub got some fizz
And life's one big crazy parade 
The decorated floats all light the way
They represent a certain space in time 
And maybe if you're lucky you can hop on and ride
So...
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I coming
Please don't wait for me
Sometimes I feel I should be running home
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I'm coming home, or running away
Sometimes I get scared
I don't want you to see that 
No you don't need that
Sometimes I get scared
I'm not sure if I'll be back
Don't know how I'll react
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I coming
Please don't wait for me
Sometimes I feel I should be running home
Please don't wait for me
I'm not sure if I'm coming home, or running away


Please Don't

SMOOTH SAILING (prod. Penacho)

Water Falls

Transcending roots in the tradition of piano rock greats from Ben Folds to Billy Joel, with the passion and subject matter of Dawes and The Hold Steady, Lucas Jack is a singer-songwriter-pianist able to engross his audience in finely-hewn stories of the modern American experience. His powerful tenor voice and inspired musicianship allow no pretending while the open soul of his music envelops his listeners. 

The relatable nature of his songs leaves no question that he understands his music, himself and his audience. 

Embracing his passion, Lucas left a career as an attorney in Chicago to become a full-time musician. In 2012, Lucas relocated to Texas to work with Grammy-nominated producer, Mack Damon, with whom he recorded his first full-length album, Sun City. 
Released in the spring of 2013, the album is a heartfelt piano-centered examination of the complexities of love, life, frustration, and individual triumph. His clever and catchy pop-rock tunes, combined with a perfectly honed live show, have created a wave of support; and in just a few short months, Lucas has grown from a relative unknown into a regional favorite among fans, promoters, and media outlets.
