recorded Nov. 2013

cover of the famous 60's classic by 'the Turtles' 

... I was a bit hesitant to say the least on doing this because I knew I was gonna get carried away with not just the multi-layering of vocals (4 tracks total), but also 2 guitar tracks, bass guitar, AND tambourine (it definitely called for it)

Happy Together

I took a lengthy break from here to write and record my debut solo album.  I'll be uploading some teasers and more covers on here as well as dropping the album title in the very near future.  

So in honor of said accomplishments, I decided to cover punk rock legends 'The Misfits' and play their hit song "Dig Up Her Bones."  2 guitar tracks, bass guitar, tambourine (once again) and 2 vocal tracks as well as some sound fx here and there.

Rock 'n' Roll Daydream (feat. Kate Mertz)

First new original song since 2015 and my first completely self-produced and recorded song.

'Speed Demon Rock n Roll' was a forgotten song from the 'Song for a Grave Digger' writing sessions that never came to light until about a year ago and started building on that as well as a handful of more new songs to come.  Plans for a mini album/EP is in the works.

V1
I've heard your cries and heard your screams,
I found you sad and alone, on your knees.
I asked you what you're crying for
And let me guide you out to the dance floor.

Bridge
I'll take you by the hand and close your eyes,
Lose yourself and go crazy, and raise your hands up towards the sky.

Chorus
Come and Dance with Destiny, Come and take a chance on me.
No more broken hearts or lonely tears, I promise you'll be okay my dear,
Don't worry baby, I'll take you home tonight.

V2
Our love is written in the stars, 
or is it because we have matching scars.
We both have been to hell and back, 
been here for each other and thats a fact.

Bridge
Chorus

You never lost hope, you'll never be alone.
You put your hand in mine, the dance floor is our home.

Dance with Destiny

V1
How long has it been since we were last seen in a room looking eye to eye?
All this time you've been just a voice over the phone to say 'hello, good night.'

 We've been going on for far too long this way, there's some things I wanna say, but it doesn't matter 

I ain't gonna live this life this way I'm gonna go my separate way. 
Turn in to 'lost & found,' turn around and walk away You're never gonna bring me down again. 

V2
We've had so many tales so now I'm gonna set sail & drift away into the sea.
Tampered memories and trailer park pipe dreams never appealed to me. 

Pre-Chorus
Chorus 

You were my diamond in the rough a quick shine and a little buff but you never wanted to shine.
I'm gonna set the world on fire I'm gonna start my empire,  and I'm leaving you far behind 

Solo 

We've been going on for far too long this way, so shut up, I have to say... and just listen to me
