Simply known as "M8", this EP is a musically bittersweet journey through the melancholy of goodbyes. All the songs were written, produced, and mixed by yours truly, so I hope you enjoy what the best of my efforts have produced here!

So I Say Lyrics:

Day after day I can taste on the pain
I keep it at bay by my will to remain
Even when I could begin to explain
Still, the pain has a hold on me
Sometimes it seems that I'm getting better
My heart chimes with what you say
And maybe it's true that I'm getting better
Or maybe I just can't stay

Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu no time to roam
Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu so I say shalom

Day after day I can witness the pain
Have fun in the world but does something remain?
Some say it's peace but they put you in chains
So it's war while I'm on my way

Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu no time to roam
Huuuuu I'm going home
Huuuuu so I say shalom

Brother Ali - Two Questions

In production

I can't stay awake
Cats eyes glitter and swim in the dream
Pretty in full beam
I'm in a car
I'm not driving, I've been released
To empty my head, at least for a while
And I keep forgetting what you're saying with each passing mile
I see you smile

I'm nodding
Thinking of nothing
Lost to the rushing sound of the road
No red lights
No red lights
No red lights

Dead to the world
Dark in the middle of some park in the West
Puddle on my chest
You brake a little hard
My eyes open and your hand is on my knee
I turn in my seat and fall back to sleep
Return to illusions, visions that surface and bubble and recede 

I'm nodding
Thinking of nothing
Lost to the rushing sound of the road

Nearly there
I don't really care
if we turn around and go home
There's no red lights
No red lights
No red lights

No Red Lights

No Regrets

Celebrate the new year by reflecting on 2020 in the most positive perspective there is. The universe loves you. Much love and enjoy!

Visual representation of me before backwoods

BEFORE BACKWOODS

Do you still think about me?
Cause I still think about you 
From time to time, admit it 
And that’s how it’s meant to be 
My Scorpio, my Aries 
My Scorpio, my Aries 
My Scorpio, my Aries 
This car smells like your perfume  
It’s got me on your profile 
One touch could change it all and 
Even though we shouldn’t 
I just might ruin my life 
And that’s how it’s meant to be 
My Scorpio, my Aries 
My Scorpio, my Aries
My Scorpio, my Aries 
Why is this harder than I thought? 
Call your phone, then hang up 
It wasn’t perfect, but maybe 
It was good enough, I’m crazy
The thought of you, the new tattoos
The ego boost, the untold truths 
I still look when I drive past your place 
And that’s how it’s meant to be
My Scorpio, my Aries 
My Scorpio, my Aries
My Scorpio, my Aries

So I Say
