Thoughts become things. Shape your own reality. Experience the Law of Attraction.

Limited vinyl, signed CD, merch: http://mikecaseyjazz.com

My studio debut (4th project in 4 years) featuring Grammy nominated Benito Gonzalez (pianist with Pharoah Sanders, Kenny Garrett, Jackie McLean) joining my longtime trio on 3 tracks!

Recorded July 2018 right before heading to Spain for a yearlong master's with Berklee Valencia, this captures my band and I at our best yet in the heat of the moment, recorded at Omer Avital's basement studio Wilson Live in 100 degree heat with no air conditioning...recorded all old school, no isolation, no headphones! No tricks. Raw uncut, delivering a lot of original compositions and arrangements I had been workshopping with the band for as many as 4 years or as little as 4 weeks.

lyrics:
my eyes are heavy from 9 months of sleeping
sinking seeking i’m ready to fill my lungs up with new breathing
beyond the home i have known
beyond the places i have grown
i gotta release this shell if i am to become my own

i'm aching i'm bleeding i'm screaming
i'm reaching to the unknown 
hoping believing 
i'm praying the details will reveal themselves 
in sooner than later cause i don't ask for help

hell is a place where they can't hear you yell
or they do and they don’t give a fuck so they tell
they kids that you are the fallen one beast and they bail
they are the beast and then you are the bell
but maybe the classroom Kenan and Kel
both are needed if we are to pass 
and not to fail
puff puff relax 
head of the dragon is also the tail
db is my truth a fable and tale
and i am a tree ivy league no harvard no yale
i'm in between reflecting me chasin cells

[chorus]
i've been searching i've been searching for this path of mine 
i've been searchin i've been searchin tryna find my rite

i've been searching i've been searching for this peace of mind (mind x3)
i've been searchin i've been searchin tryna find my rite

been on this path since I touched this land
God said you're a warrior   
your tools are your hands
so i broke wood 
with the power of the palms of my breath
i got my first black belt before my first bra-let
i came back for this new life no regret
i promised to make this blue ride the best one yet
wait ma, what they name is? the one we just met
dorien blue you wont forget

i am the space in between not quite this or that
a lil of everything
diversified the track
i shed my skin i can’t go backP
plus the old me died for the new me to rise
so i burst into the expansive of the skies
i honor they sacrifice tears in my eyes
i am a body of a water learned to hold it all together to thrive

but i break myself out 
as these words clear my mouth
and i wash myself clean
truth is paramount
overdue for spring 
time to come out
you hear them 
church bells ring 
i'm on my route
we all on our way home 
let us all shout
do it for granny her spirits about 
faith she carries her heart waits 
you know she brought that bible belt south

[chorus]
i've been searching i've been searching for this path of mine 
i've been searchin i've been searchin tryna find my rite

i've been searching i've been searching for this peace of mind (mind x3)
i've been searchin i've been searchin tryna find my rite

Sometimes, when you're hurting, and it's too much - there's only one way to hold you down. For producers out there who get sad and music is the only one who understands.

I'm So Sad

I'm So Sad demo {Prod. By POOKIE}

beat by: @balancecooper

lyrics:
imma frequent of the shadow lands 
chance, we on a first name basis
 lost inside the dark again
 at least i admit when i’m aimless
...
i met a wandering girl with too much time on her hands
she opened her purse I fell into a trance
checkerboard dance hold onto your pants
x2
...
spinning out like a whirlpool
yellow middle-school shirt screaming "girls rule"

I spy green eyes on trees and eggs with golden feet
I be rolling me
smoking seeds of who I used to be
who I secede to be
deadlifts heavy con cuidado
watch your knees

and I needs to feel complete
been worried I’m too broken to make home in
the bars around my headheart suffocate my dome and
those birds escaped with the keys
I vowed to set them free
whya Maya Angel louvin making me

I'm just a ancestor puzzle trynna find some peace

this spirit's so restless
the grim reaper awaits in me
near the front of my guest list

I am not a stranger to deathes
that’s why I chase my bestest

and I got more flaws than you can ever imagine
am I still worthy of a loving saviors hand

or am I born a sinner
stuck in repent
re-vent
resent mode
I'm so damn tired
change is so spent soul spent sold
I'm ready to come back
(come back come back)
...
got the car waiting by the big fig tree near the orange shack
shake it up shake it up
Fanta don’t you wanna
cool off from all this heat tropicana

go black mamba
lost in transit
bible is propaganda

I'm just a kid playing in the closet
lookin for mama
skeleton inside my body knocking
sama sama
on my chest wake up kid
futurama
come back kiddddddddd
...
imma frequent of the shadow lands 
chance, we on a first name basis
 lost inside the dark again
 at least i admit when i’m aimless
...
i met a wandering girl with too much time on her hands
she opened her purse I fell into a trance
checkerboard dance hold onto your pants
