Lyrics: 

Oh, she said she don't love me, no
But it's a crime and just goes to show 
We're all doomed in this life

Oh, the places we'll never go
And the things we will never know
Keep haunting my mind

Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me

Oh, it always feels like a living hell
No way out as far as I can tell
But there's always a light

Oh, now I'm no Sisyphus but here I go
Back to pushing this rolling stone
And make everything right

Lord, Have Mercy On Me

Lord Have Mercy On Me (ft. Brian Emmons)

Sing Into the Void is comprised of "lost footage" home recordings by Brett Vaughn and Mitchell Gonzalez that were found by Mitchell during October of 2023. All songs were recorded in Miami, Florida, presumably sometime between 2018 and late 2019.

Message from Mitchell and Brett:

In October of last year I stumbled across some forgotten home recordings of me and my good friend Brett Vaughn playing music together at his old place in Miami, Florida. We never intended to release these recordings, nor did we intend to record them at all in many cases. We would often leave recorders running and forget about them, only realizing later that we had recorded entire sessions filled with songs, improvisations, strange ideas, chatter, jokes, and ultimately the sound of two songwriters spending time doing what they love to do most: playing music.

Upon finding these recordings I began to sift through hours of them in search of something worth putting out. After a few weeks of digging through footage and trying to separate wheat from chaff, what emerged was a 36 minute/ 13-track album that I am very relieved to say is finally ready to see the light of day.

Sing Into the Void is the opposite of what one would expect from a conventional record. It is unplanned, unconscious of itself, and riddled with perfect imperfections, so to speak. I hope you all have as much fun listening to it as Brett and I had recording it.

Thank you Homero Ruiz ( Instagram: @hrz.iii ) and Mark Kramer ( Instagram: @shimmydiscofficial ) for lending your mixing and mastering skills to this project.

Enjoy!
