Help ft. ProbCause

It's okay
If today
You don't have the laundry folded
And dinner is a cold mess
You're still
Her 21st-century man
It's alright
If tonight
You're not selling out arenas
No one's calling you a genius
Jesus Christ
Is that what you require?
Is this thing
That you love
Killing you slowly 
Then it’s time to close the curtains there’s no shame 
Is setting this circus a flame 
Cause better ones 
Greater ones 
Have been lit up with desire 
To be thrown into the fire 
Take a bow
Before you too go out 
One day you will want out 
But there won't be a door
If she's waiting on you 
Then maybe it’s time 
To take a bow (bow) 
Take a Bow 
Take a bow (bow) 
Take a Bow 
Take a bow 
Take a Bow 
Solo
verse 2:
You just want what you're told
Is the picture of a dream
But it's someone else's scene
And still, it keeps you up at night
You feel shame
Oh, such shame
At the thought of facing people
Who you can barely stand
 saying goodbye
Letting it all come down
No one’s keeping score 
No one but yourself 
Take a little time 
Cause maybe it’s time 
Time 
To take a bow (bow) 
Take a Bow 
Take a bow (bow) 
Take a Bow 
Take a bow (bow) 
Take a Bow 
Take a bow (bow) 
Bridge: 
And I know it's not ideal
It's not what you had in mind
But the price of doing otherwise
Is losing your mind
Take a bow
Take a bow (bow)
Take a bow
Take a bow
Mmhmmm 
Take a Bow

Take a Bow

Written after a vacation in Fernandina Beach, Florida the song was very influenced by The Beach Boys.

 “I wanted to make something with some surprises in it, something that had movement like "Good Vibrations" or "Our Prayer” which is where the tempo changes come from. Lyrically the song was influenced by Lou Reed's "Perfect Day. I love how he wrote this melancholic song about being happy. As someone who dreams a lot about vacation, I usually feel a little depressed at least once during that time off so that resonated with me. For me the song was more about not being able to relax out of worry for my young family, especially my kids. But I still wanted the song to feel beacy. It’s like I wanted to make a beach song, but like a wintery beach song.” 

The song is split into three sections with different tempos. A reverb drenched surf guitar kicks off the first section. The rhythm section comes in at the first tempo change an R&B groove kicks in which builds into a climax at the second chorus. The climax then resolves to the final section which is a callback to the beginning. The final section resolves it main mantra with the lyrics:

"Love them till you lose composure/tear your silly world apart/this is how you don't get over/this is how you break a heart" 

Reinforcing the idea that love is about sacrifice, the subtle chipping away of our ego that we must do to make space for higher things in our existence. Happiness breaks our hearts, in a good way. 

The song was recorded in Atlanta and produced in Nashville, Tennessee with Louis Johnson (LONAS, Mackenzie Porter) and Reed Beiren (GAYLE, James Droll). It releases January 13th on all platforms.

How to Break a Heart

5 DAYS OF SUMMER!! Is my tribute to a formative soundtrack for me, the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack. Me and Jake Dane (bassist) sat down to produce these tracks from my home studio in Atlanta, Georgia. We wanted to capture a feeling we felt back when iPods were still a thing, when summers were never ending and the world was wide with possibility. We wanted to merge our memories of the soundtrack with an imagined past that never really was. Taking inspiration from bands like MGMT, Roosevelt, Justice and Daft Punk we wanted to rearrange these songs to give them a new but familiar edge. 

We hope you enjoy...but you should know up front this is NOT a love story. 

Tracklist: 

1. Us (originally performed by Regina Spektor)
2. There is a light that never goes out (originally performed by The Smiths) 
3. Sweet Disposition (originally performed by The Temper Trap) 
4. Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (originally performed by The Smiths) 
5. Quelqu'un m'a dit (originally performed by Carla Bruni)
