Rocking That S**t

If It Ain't Love (DJ Tlot Remix)

#Soundcloudradio

Basher-influenced, layered power pop made in my bedroom studio. I like writing bite sized hooks you can sing to.

When The Music Stops Demo +

Demo of my new song "Pay Me In Gasoline"
Recorded on my phone. I just moved and my studio stuff is in a closet.
Lyrics:

You called it "The Bay" in a way I'd never heard
You got driven around, I had the school MetroCard
A born & bred city kid and honey I'm six foot three
But next to you it was Miss California and little old me

You had slang and your mother never flew coach
_____ ____ ____*lyrics TK* ___ ___ ______

    Ok, you're right, honey baby you're the Queen
    I'll get out of Columbus, just pay me in gasoline

Ok well now I'm a sophomore, a sage in the ways of the campus
We insisted on unisex housing, now that feels like an ambush
I used to try to catch you red handed, I used to play to win
But every time it was Miss California and my best friend

You said "platonic," & I didn't know what it meant
you were lyin when you said you read the letters that I sent

    Ok you're right, honey baby you're the queen
    I'll get out of Columbus, just pay me in gasoline


You made a point of being rich & ruthless
I've had enough of feeling small and stupid
   Even now, you're working the scene

Keep your misanthropes and know it alls
you know I could hear you through the wall
Just pay me, I'm going, pay me in gasoline

I said ok you're right, honey baby you're the queen,
Well I'm out of Columbus, pay me in gasoline

I said ok you're right, pay me in gasoline
I'm gettin out of Columbus, pay me in gasoline

Pay Me In Gasoline Demo

Step By Step

Another Saturday wasted
Another Sunday in bed
A glass of water on the stand and the fan spinning over my head

I want to go back to Houston
Where I was half of the team
The way they talked about me was the way they talked about the money spillin outta their dreams

I’m not young enough
I’m not cool enough
I’m not the winning kind, don’t you see it now?
When I used to say
I’m not dead enough
I wasn’t fucking around with you

__Instrumental chorus w/ no lyrics maybe?__

Now I could try to be something
B-b-be somethin’ I’m not
A perfect chin and an ever so sunken chest, the kind of guy I think the girls think is hot

But maybe baby it’s already here 
And maybe If I want more
I can just take it in stride, forgive myself and open the store, (but baby I’m)

I’m not young enough
But so is everyone
It’s not a winning game, don’t you see it now?
Cause I used to say
The stage was waiting for me
I wasn’t fucking around, 

I’ll take it step by step
(background vocals: step by step, step by step)

Bridge V-I-ii6 LYRICS TO COME

Solo

The things you know I hold on to
comments I seek out at night
It’s just an itch, it’s the trigger finger on everybody, the grudge I need to survive

I’m a millionaire
I’m a Jeremiah
It’s not a winning way to be but baby
I got another day
I got my routines
I got a kid and a woman who loves me 

So take it

(step by step, etc...)
