Lyrics:

Afloat in the ocean
I look down below
You ask me something
Something I'll never know
I found the answer
But I don't understand

Interceptor
(You found a way into my mind)
Interceptor
(It shows at least that you're as kind)
Interceptor
(And all that's left is what is there)
Interceptor
(You found a way into my mind)
(A way into my mind)

A fork splits the road now
Wish I could turn around
And off in the distance
Snow falls to the ground
A flock of birds pass
And I can't help but smile

Interceptor
(You found a way into my mind)
Interceptor
(It shows at least that you're as kind)
Interceptor
(And all that's left is what is there)
Interceptor
(You found a way into my mind)
(A way into my mind)

Lyrics: 
In a deep, deep dream one night
A man's mind molds a wooden boat
He puts it in the water
And expects that it will float
The ship is only halfway complete
He lacked supplies to make all the rest
Surely he will sink fast
But I wonder,
Will he jump ship and fail the test? 

An island appears,
Relieves his fears
Of never making it back out of this place
Or should he stay here and drown away,
Just to ignore the people and their race?

The island sounds like a better choice
I'll make a life for myself out here
And if I'm lucky, they'll never find me
And my tracks will disappear 
Seems to good to be true though
So there's gotta be a catch or a trick
Maybe I'll figure it out
Take a different route
But for now I think I'll stick with my pick

You always wonder what will happen to you,
Maybe you focus on irrelevant things
This island always will be waiting for you
Just thank the future for it's kind offerings

Stuck in the background

Sail out again

My cover of "From Past To Present", written by Jeremy Soule for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This was my favorite piece from the game - so I recorded a version for electric and acoustic guitar, keys, and synth. I hope you enjoy!

From Past To Present (TES V: Skyrim cover)

An alternate version of "Psygnosis", recorded in live multi-takes in an empty house.

Myriad II

Amnesia

A cover of Jeremy Soule's masterpiece from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This song is what sold the entire Elder Scrolls series to me. I heard it in the background while a friend was playing, and went and got Oblivion and an Xbox 360 that day. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, and since it means so much to me, I decided to do a cover of it. The track is me on guitar, piano, synths, etc.

Sorry for the silence at the beginning!! 

Follow the link below to see a video that I made to go along with this, consisting of time lapses I took in Cyrodiil.
