My First Album "Digital Thoughts" Encapsulates what I experienced over several years. The emotions in each song are different and can vary through genre. The Genre of the entire album would be Alternative Pop as it has catchy choruses throughout each and every song. Thank you for giving this a chance, I appreciate every listen and second it's listened too.

Hope.

Im Trying I Promise

"Dancing Demons" Is an old favorite of mine that I felt didn't belong on "Digital Thoughts". But I liked it a lot so I'm posting it anyways here on SoundCloud.

"Barely Breathing" is about an overly exaggerated mess of a breakup. A put away song from one of the upcoming EPs from Michael Bates. It commemorates examples of barely feeling able to stay alive while keeping a relationship afloat.

The entire embodiment of "someday" captures the thoughts of myself hoping to achieve peace and happiness with the one I love in the future. Referencing our soon to be born child and our son "Matteo" in the second verse, describing later throughout the song that all we need is ourselves and family.

Psycho captures the differences in the mind of bouncing between alternate emotions, this is described as well with the hook and chorus of the song switching up between a bouncy chorus and an emotional hook that painfully requires help.

"Getaway" provides an imagery of two lovers who need to escape the entrapment they're in. The song captures emotions of outrunning danger with the one you love to escape to a reality that they know they can find; if they run.

"Hercules" is based upon the thought of being cowardice and rising above your situations; hoping one day, you'll be braver than Hercules and conquer the challenges ahead. I put my own personal problems into the verses of this song as I know I have, and have made it to where even due to my own insecurities and challenges; I will conquer them.

"Rejection" follows the story of a boy who tries to have a date with a girl he likes. He asked and her and her friends end up laughing at the boy for having such fantasies. The boy and the girl come to even terms and she often asks him how he's doing; which makes him wonder why she does due too laughing at him with her friends behind his back and to his face.
