Double For Me

I wrote this song in praise of individuality. About the feeling of being put inside a box. Politically and artistically.

Nuanced views are rarely encouraged these days. The world is messy and complex. To see no flaws in oneself and flaws-only in everyone else seems to be a recipe for miscommunication. It replaces thinking and listening with walls and hardline ideologies.


As a musician I always had a hard time working inside one genre. I don’t see a big difference between electronic music, Middle-Eastern music and soul. Genres and ideas need to be allowed to be mixed and matched freely, that's how they evolve. I think most people can relate to this feeling, of not wanting to be put in a box and have a chance to create their own "language".

I wrote the verse for this song a couple of years ago during a period of frustration. I had a record deal that wasn't working out, I felt isolated and wasn't feeling very inspired to write or compose much. That resulted in a lot of pent up anger. One night out of some type of manic state I started writing the text for this song. It pretty much came out with the music attached to it. The writing felt like praying, asking to be shown a way out. 

The chorus was written about a year later, It came from a more humorous place, trying to make sense of where my head was at at the time, but with a more light hearted approach. It's funny when songs work like that, when you need to be two different people to write a verse and a chorus.

Hysterically Relaxed

I saw Shelley Duvall interviewed by Dr. Phil - it wasn't easy to watch. I felt both sad and angry with such a seemingly callous exploitation. So as a bit of a defense mechanism I decided to flip the whole thing on its head and imagine that Shelley never stopped being Wendy from “The Shining”. 

The song starts with Shelley as Wendy and morphs into a world where reality and fiction are blurred, and events from movies become real and personal occurrences in our lives.

Repack the Junk

Shelley Duvall

This song is about the moments we catch ourselves hypocritically getting angry or self righteous in order to protect ourselves from feeling sad or depressed.

Whether it's the relationship a person has with themselves, with a friend, with their idols, or with how we cope with the ugliness of our political systems - these short glimpses of unflattering truths about ourselves are important and cathartic.

One Eye Open

All the headlines i’m reading
Are contradicting
For once in our lives we’re seeing
A second of peace

But it’s a moment
Out of control that I fear
Life’s in postponement
I’m out of focus
It’s unclear

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same

Take another lonely walk down the seaside
Keep in to yourself if people come by
Or stay inside to be kind

Reach out to someone 
You’ve never even met
Tell them that you miss them
Or you might just regret it
You’ll know that if the lights go out 
And the night didn’t come
It’s over

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same
And I wanna leave

Whatever happened to, 
All of the beauty in the mess?
What is it coming to
When all of our hope has all been spent?
Now I’m feeling overcome
Outrun and done
Say you’ll put me back together
Now I’m feeling overwhelmed
Carrying myself
Will nobody help?

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same
And I wanna leave
And I wanna leave
And I wanna leave
