"Hey Brother" Avicii Cover (FREE DOWNLOAD - see description)

I started writing this after a break up that hit me pretty hard and wanted to keep it simple without instrumentation. Vocorders are awesome and what better way to scream out to the world about something you lost and missed than with 8 voices at the same time.

 What do you think?

"Hollow Scene" - Michael Dasso - Hurricane

This is the first and title song. It is a song about a storm coming through your life and even though everything might be destroyed, there is beauty, even in the destruction. You just have to see it.

Lyrics

The war is won 
Look to the East 
The dark will pass 
The light will come 
  
Just like a hurricane 
Cracking the faults in our designs 
Skyscrapers rise and fall 
Some things we just can’t explain 
  
The end is near 
You’re almost there 
Take my hand 
Take all I have 
  
Just like a hurricane 
Cracking the faults in our designs. 
Skyscrapers rise and fall 
Some things we just can’t explain. 
  
Just like a hurricane 
Cracking the ground beneath our feet. 
Skyscrapers rise and fall. 
Some things we can’t explain 
  
Look past the dark 
You’ll see it soon 
The light 
The light 
The light surrounding you.

"Hurricane" - Michael Dasso - Hurricane

I wrote this song in college and it is my first song that I wrote with lyrics. It's about feeling lost and on your own so instead of dealing with your problems you just run away from them.

Lyrics:
Broken down and on my knees 
I can’t help but wonder 
Is there anybody out there 
Who can save me? 
  
I’ve given up 
I can’t win this fight 
I can’t do this on my own 
But you can’t save me this time 
You gotta let me fall. 
  
  
I can’t keep running 
                        I can’t keep running 
Running… 
  
I don’t know which 
Which way to turn 
I never thought this would happen 
But every word we said 
We can’t take back 
That’s just the way it is 
  
So I keep running 
Running 
   
I’ve given up 
I can’t do this anymore 
Let me fall 
Let me fall 
  
I keep running 
Running… 
  
I keep running 
till you find me.

"Running" - Michael Dasso - Hurricane

I wrote this song after a bad break-up. In a way I was telling them that I had tried my best to make it work and that is all I can do. The only song I have where I use my falsetto. I was in a deep Bon Iver/James Vincent McMorrow phase during this time period.

Lyrics

Tear apart this life
Take everything
Ill be alright.

Burn these memories
Kindle the flame
With what you thought was right.

Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmm
Do what you feel is right
Do what you feel is right
Ohhhohh

Take these hands away
Rewind the pain
And give it back to me

Pause the world turning
Beneath my feet
Without me.

Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmm
Do what you feel is right
Do what you feel is right
Ohhohh
Ohhohh oh


I know I did my best
Cause I know I did my best
And that’s more than you can ever say
That’s more than you could ever say.

"Tattered Intentions" - Michael Dasso - Hurricane

This is a song that I wrote for my sister after a bad breakup. It's about building up a house with someone and then it being destroyed. The sheet rock may be down, the floor boards brought up, but this time you can walk through the house and rebuild.. exactly as it was meant to be.

Lyrics

I’m taking this all down for safe keep
To finally get this right
The question in the woodwork twists and knots
And all that’s left is me, Paralyzed, paralyzed
Every time.

Everything we wrote is on this shelf
It’s covered, covered in dust
The ending left uncertain starts to grow
From my memory
But I’m frozen, frozen here
Till you let me go.

The cracking in the phonograph
Is it broken again? It’s broken again.
And you’re turning this araound till you find again
What you’re looing for. What are you searching for?
But this is not the end.
For me.

You’ll find it in the house boarded up
Amongst the debris
I’ll pick up where I left this years ago
Only my frames in-tact.
It takes time to see.
Takes time to see.


"Bare" - Michael Dasso - Hurricane

My roommate found this band and this song was a hidden song on the album. I learned it and recorded it in a day. There's a youtube video as well.

"American Secrets" (Parachute Cover) - Michael Dasso

I hadn't heard this song until Greg Laswell Covered it and than instantly fell in love with it. Let me know what you think.

"Your Ghost" (Kristin Hersh Cover) - Michael Dasso

When you are hiding the biggest part of yourself from everyone and you only feel half alive...

Half Life

While in the recording studio, a buddy and i decided to record this song because we had some extra studio time.

Mad World Cover

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world, mad world

"Mad World" (Tears for Fears Cover)- Michael Dasso

Can't Help Falling In Love

Born in Portland, OR, I began to discover my musicality at midnight when everyone went to bed, but my mother stayed up and listened in the next room. Since then, I have begun to write my own music through my experiences, especially with love and heartbreak. An album is in the works, but in the meantime, enjoy some covers!
