dont go and be the person i was waiting for
i hide behind my smile and behind closed doors

your misbehaving hands you can't keep to your sides
when i get you talking you never seem to shy

--chorus--
there is still something pulling me down to you
if there is one thing to get me closer i do

you could try breaking open my safe
inside you will find a copious amount of space

blue in my eyes i stand in broken armour
eventually learn that i could never rely on her

--chorus--

like i've seen a ghost i'll hit the road running
that's not where i need to go so go on and catch me
catch me

--chorus--

Out of Knowhere

I.F.D

This is a song about the pitfalls of having an affair and thinking you are getting away with it.  In the end it always comes back to bite you! This song was inspired by the Beatles, Oasis, and other Brit-pop groups.  We especially love a catchy melody and so hope this song will be enjoyed by others who enjoy similar genres of music.

Skulls And Bones

Every Saturday afternoon, I visit the Rayman family to give a little personal concert to Assaf. He is 45 years old with Down syndrome who has now lost verbal ability. However, there is no need for words to express the appreciation for Assaf, as he would smile, clap, and eventually fall asleep on the mellow tone of the guitar. This experience has been very valuable for me as it told me the power of music beyond words. Since Assaf and his family showed the appreciation, I decided to reply with a series of guitar pieces written for every Saturday afternoon.

I sincerely thank Assaf and Michael for enjoying my performance, and I also heartfully appreciate the hot tea and sweet pastries that Zeva prepares me every visit.

Lullabies for Assaf No.1 for Solo Guitar

This song starts in the key of B flat major.  The first rhythm progression is Bb - Cm - Dm - D to Eb.  The last chord, an accidental, quickly slides up to Eb and I think coming right off the Dm helps the Dmaj chord to fit better too.  (The beginning arpeggio is Bb - Cm - Dm - D with no slide up to Eb and it still sounds pretty cool.) The next progression is F7 - Bb - Cm - Gm.  The second time played it ends on Bb (then sliding up to B) instead of Gm.  This slides us into the first key change Bb to B major starting at 0:56.

The progression in B major is B - C#m - D#m - E and you'll notice some synth that kicks in (my keyboard playing the B major scale with several different effects.)  The third play-through of the guitar progression ends on E7 quickly sliding down to Eb7 to help nudge us "back" into the key of G Minor starting at 1:20.  It really does sound flat here, the dissonance is kind of cool though, I think.  So in the new key, I start the lead on G and this helps cement the G Aeolian mode instead of a return to the previous Bb Major (which the ear is more expecting as it’s a “return to home.”)  This new progression is Gm - Eb - Dm - Cm.  It ends the third time through on a Cmaj chord instead of Cm which pulls us into the key of C major at 1:44 and I play the progression C - Dm - Am - C against some more zany sounding synths from my keyboard.

Finally, at 2:08 the final key change is into F major using a C7 chord instead of the final C major in the third play through of C - Dm - Am - C.  This section is interesting though because I use very, very similar progressions to what I used at the beginning of the song:  F - Bb - C(C7) - Gm(Gmaug5) and Bb - Cm - Dm - D to Eb.  This time however, it is firmly in the key of F, not Bb.  I start the lead on F and I stay soloing in the F pentatonic scale the whole time so even though I use almost the same chords it is now F major (of course being a fifth apart they have many of the same chords being used, except the C and the Eb.)  This is an interesting thing though, the lead guitar really does determine the key.

Fame

When will you find me?
Fame I’ve spent my whole life
Waiting around for you
When will you reach me?
When I’ve spent all my life
Waiting on you

Chorus:

Close to my thirtieth year
And I’m still standing here
Nowhere to where I want to be 
Where’s the crowd
Calling out for me
Fame 
You’re such an elusive thing
Touching everyone but me
Embrace me 
With your flickering flames
Here on this stage
Fame
Come my way
Or show me the way

Touch me for just fifteen minutes
Let me bathe in it
I’ve been ready cast your rays on me
Last as long as you see fit
Let me live in it
If for a second just before I’m through

Chorus:

Still

A new collab track, first one since the album release

LYRICS:

The ceiling is the limit now and the sky is just a dream
Too scared to leave your comfort zone as every sigh comes out a scream
You’re clutching at the rungs of the ladder that you hung in the hope it takes you somewhere clean

You never come around here no more
I never hear you knocking on my front door
We never talk about the things that we saw behind the wall

I never want to know what it was
I’m never wanna go back there because
We can never talk about what we saw behind the wall

Agoraphobia is hard when your lips are sealed with glue
The neighbours are a hundred miles away and the topic of discussion is a big taboo
You’re crawling through the mud after surviving the flood
Like a peasant but your blood is blue
You’re falling on your sword after getting bored because you ran out of things to do

Behind the Wall
