Hey guys! I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been working on a lot of stuff with some of my friends here in Philly, mainly a jazz-pop EP, which will be accompanied by a said of videos. HOWEVER, in the mean time, I finally got my good friend Anna to let me record her. We were practicing this cover for an open mic but got wait listed to we decided to just record it anyway. We're probably gonna do a few more of these, maybe a short little acoustic covers EP. If you have any song suggestions, feel free to leave them. Thanks!

This song was originally performed by The Wonder Years, a pop punk band from Philadelphia. It's my favorite song they've ever written and Anna love TWY so we decided to do a acoustic/ukelele version of it. I hope you like it, she's a much better singer than I am but I think it actually came out pretty good.

Passing Through The Screen Door (Feat. Anna Ready)

Hey guys! I've been working on this song for the past few weeks for a film project and I'm really stoked with how it came out! John Lamberti, a film major at University of the Arts, asked me to write this song for his final film project a few weeks ago and I decided to use this guitar part I've been throwing around for about a year. It evolved into this super cheesy love song about a relationship that can be taken as either a happy, declaration of love or a haunting memory of someone that you can't seem to get out of your head. Whichever way you decide to take it, I hope you enjoy Haunted! Look out for the film in the next month, a piano version of the song as well as the full version will be featured toward the end! Thanks to John for asking me to be a part of this and Anna Ready for lending her talents to make the song even better!

I plan on doing a lot more songwriting in the next few months as opposed to just doing a lot of compositions for school and songs for The Letter 6 (though we do have some great new stuff coming soon). I really want to focus on learning more about singing, lyrics writing, and songwriting in general since I want that to be the focus of my composition degree. So be on the lookout for more of that both here and on my YouTube channel!

If you feel so compelled, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this song around and let me know what you think! Thanks! :]

Haunted (feat. Anna Ready)

Here's the first single off my new solo record! Let me know what you think!

I'm just outdated technology, 
A camera with no film. 
All you took from me was memories 
And I'm dying with every still. 
I hope I served my purpose well, 
I know I soon will be replaced. 
I did everything you told me to 
So I wouldn't go to waste. 

You use me up and throw me away. 
Over time, we all fade to gray 
So save me for a rainy day 
While I decay 

Rip me apart and stretch me out 
Find out what I'm all about. 
Tear me into pieces now 
And cast me down 

I'm just outdated technology, 
A camera with no film. 
All you took from me was memories 
And I'm dying with every still. 
I hope I served my purpose well, 
I know I soon will be replaced. 
I did everything you told me to 
So I wouldn't go to waste. 

I'll be laid to rest in the trash. 
Incinerate, turn me to ash. 
As long as you never had to ask, 
I did my task. 

Remember me when all is done 
and don't deny we had our fun. 
All in all, a decent run, 
A race you won 

I'm just outdated technology, 
A camera with no film. 
All you took from me was memories 
And I'm dying with every still. 
I hope I served my purpose well, 
I know I soon will be replaced. 
I did everything you told me to 
So I wouldn't go to waste. 

So I'm done. 

I'm just outdated technology, 
A camera with no film. 
All you took from me was memories 
And I'm dying with every still. 
I hope I served my purpose well, 
I know I soon will be replaced. 
I did everything you told me to 
And I still went to waste! 

I'm just outdated technology, 
A camera with no film. 
All you took from me was memories 
And I'm dying with every still. 
I hope I served my purpose well, 
I know I soon will be replaced. 
I did everything you told me to 
So I wouldn't go to waste. 

Outdated, overrated.

Kodak (Single Version)

The second single off of my solo record! Let me know what you think!

I've been around 
for a long long time 
Still nothing changes in my mind 
Still better off alone and wishing I was dead 
Than dealing with the problems I create in my head 

Chorus: 
I just feel like someone's looking over my shoulder 
and I hope this goes away when I'm older. 
Can't get away from all these thoughts, 
struggling to get out only gets you caught 
The flames still burning but it's cut down to smolders 

It's been my greatest fear 
since the age of ten 
I can't hold it here, can't let it win 
Wanna sleep away the day, make it all go numb 
I'm all alone here marching to my own drum 

Bridge: 
I can't get you out 
Cuz I doubt I can even help myself.

Cut Down To Smolders (Single Version)

Did this quick little vocal cover of Post's verse and the chorus on Psycho! If you're interested in hearing more covers of Post tunes, check out my YouTube channel, where I've done 3 others!

Psycho (Vocal Cover)

Just a quick little experiment, first time trying to make lofi beats with splice samples.

Lofi Beats

Please (lofi beat)

Here's a song I wrote back in April or May while I was still living in Philadelphia, it was one of my first experiments using Splice and sampling. It is part of an EP of electronic music that I plan on putting out at some point in the near future. This is really different than the type of stuff I normally do, but I've been working on another solo album as well that's closer to my previous release, though still pretty different. Let me know what you think!
lyrics
Thinkin back to December 
when our love was the center 
of everything we did and everything we planned 
Nothing could cool your temper 
Like a weekend in Denver 
We never went through with it, you never packed your bags 

Lay your love on the line for me one time 
For me, for me girl 
It's easy if you try 

Just take a chance on me 
Never felt so carefree 
Just lay it all on the line 

We were bumpin September 
The wind and the embers 
Swirled away from the earth and up into the night 
And I still remember 
Holding eachother 
Keeping warm and wondering where all this goes 

I like think that you're out there somewhere 
Thinking of me 
You know that you should be here 

Just take a chance on me 
Never felt so carefree 
Just lay it all on the line 

We gonna lay our love on the line

Lyrics:
Sunshine reflects the same off our bodies. 
Our celestial flame. 
Can't get it, can't get it, I need you to know. 
I shouldn't be crying over (over) silver and gold. 
Silver and gold. 

Moonlight refracts the same through our bodies. 
Our lunar gaze. 
So timid, so timid, I fell to the floor crying over (over) silver and gold. 
Silver and gold.
