I started playing music in 2017. Before that, I did improv for a few years, and in high school, I started doing photography, which I'm still doing today. When you're first starting out with a creative hobby, it can be hard to to stick with it, especially when you compare yourself to other people who've been doing it for way longer than you. So if you've ever thought, "I wish I could do what they're doing," this song's for you.

You Suck (For Now) (demo)

(Written by Danny Lwin and Randy Landicho)

There’s so many things that I wanna say
But first I gotta get through what’s in my way
There’s a fear in my heart that I can never tame
Whenever I try to step out of my cage

Not knowing what you might think
Fills me with doubt

Cause my heart’s burning with a
Passionate yearning to share
These feelings deep inside my mind
But I can’t let go of
This dread of the unknown
Cause it’s taking control
Of what’s on the tip of my tongue

There’s so many things that I wanna do
But I’m drowning in thoughts that make me blue
There’s a voice in my head that wants to be heard
I just wanna scream out these words

Cause my heart’s burning with a
Passionate yearning to share
These feelings deep inside my mind
But I can’t let go of
This dread of the unknown
Cause it’s taking control
Of what’s on the tip of my tongue

Tip of the Tongue (demo)

Tell me, whatcha think about me?
We're hanging out every day, but you might be
Just doing this out of pity
And that's fine, but you don't have to stay, I promise

Tell me, am I bothering you?
Did I send too many messages for you to get through?
You don't need to reply right away
Except I'll freak out until you do

And yeah, I need to know
'cause I'm stressed out and I can't go with the flow

Tell me, can I give you a hug?
I know we're getting close, but are we that snug?
It's important to ask for your consent
And that's not just an anxiety thing
I should just ask you anyway

Tell me, should I give you some space?
You must be pretty tired of seeing my face 
I promise not to be too hurt
When you tell me to leave your life forever

And yeah, I need to know
'cause if it's not OK, then I'm good to let it go

Every time you leave my sight, my brain goes all askew       
And thinks someone as uncool as me could never hang with you
My self-doubt has led me astray every time before,
But what if it's right this time?
I know it's not
But I'm not sure?

Tell me, do you think about me?
I think about you to an unhealthy degree
I put myself through anguish
Wondering if I made a mistake

And yeah, I need to know
If you consider me a friend
'Cause now I'll let you know
I think you're pretty cool and I don't want this to end

Tell Me (demo)

Did you know that if you're parked on the street for longer than three hours, you are breaking the law? Even on a residential street, if you're parked too long, you could get a ticket. I know this because I've gotten a ticket for it. I think it's silly, because the police couldn't possibly be keeping track of the hundreds of cars parked on the street at any given moment. So I figure the only reason I got a ticket was because someone called the police. Someone who maybe doesn't have a whole lot going on in their life. This is a song about that person.

I'm Not Happy (demo)

The flight from Toronto to Tokyo is about 13 and a half hours. I know this because I've done the flight twice. That's a long time to be on a plane! Whenever I have a long flight, the same thing always happens to me: I spend more time planning what I'm going to do on the flight than what I'm going to do on the trip.

On Bored (demo)

Someone (not naming names, let's call him Lanny Dwin) invited me to a party where I didn't know anyone else. As someone with crazy social anxiety, this kinda sucks. I wrote a song about it.
