Swimming Song is an indie rock song about being left behind by your peers and feeling directionless, a mood that is often felt by many in various points of their lives. The search for clarity in this moment of confusion leads you to many paths, including constantly looking back to the good old days when you feel like more was happening.

What started off as a Bossa Nova/Bon Iver inspired acoustic ballad transformed into a full fledged rock song after songwriter, Nick Muilaert, plugged in his electric guitar and sped up the guitar riff as a joke. After the experiment went right, the song transformed into something else entirely.

Good Tymes

It was late winter 2021. I was heading home with my band, the Society, after recording a livestream. This was around the time Covid was still rearing its ugly head and lots of venues were still relatively closed. It was technically our debut and by all accounts, a great performance. After much lamentation on the state of the world at the time, I wanted to write a song with a positive outlook that would energize people into a hopeful future. I was also in good spirits and felt that the new year had a lot to offer. I grabbed my beat up Guild acoustic in the back of the van and began to jam on D, and from there, the lyrics began to flow downstream into my mind, with the end result being I Feel High. Funny enough, that wasn't the only song to have been birthed in the back of the van that year(the other being Cherry). 

Since then, I've played every iteration of I Feel High at my shows, both acoustic and with the Society. Took a long while to finally record this song because I had grandeur visions for this tune that I couldn't achieve through my home studio setup. Finally in May of 2023, I herded my fine band into North Central Studios, the same studio where we did that live stream, and recorded I Feel High, along with Good Tymes and Swimming Song. 

As we enter this new year, I find so much satisfaction in knowing that I Feel High will no longer just be a "concert only" song, but rather something that listeners can take home and listen to. With the tight rhythm section of Mike Carasotti & Mike Joncas, the jangle guitar and synth flourishes of Brian Samuelson, and my positive lyrics, I Feel High is a song that I am extremely proud of and excited for you to listen to.

I decided to do "I Want You" by @bobdylan from his 1966 album "Blonde on Blonde". I love this song because Dylan uses such amazing and surreal imagery to create his version of a romantic song. If you like what you hear, go check out and subscribe to my youtube channel, link in bio! Hope you enjoy!

I decided to take on my favorite Talking Heads song, "This Must Be The Place", from their 1983 album Speaking in Tongues. I love how such a simple song with a simple theme, home, could evoke such complex feelings of pure joy, comfort, sadness and love. Hope you enjoy my take on this classic and if you like what you hear, make sure to go check out and subscribe to my YouTube channel! Link is in the bio
