Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson (Reese West Cover)

Hot off the press. Short and sweet track originally by a guy named Greg Laswell. This is the second version that I've put up. I put a lot more time and production into this version than the last one. Hopefully y'all like it.

Here's my brand new cover of Luan Santana's "Te Esperando". I apologize to anyone who speaks fluent Portuguese as I have probably butchered the accent a bit. Hopefully you can still enjoy the song anyway. I made this one my own in quite a few ways. The melody and the rhythm guitar lines are the same, but I have added some things and left others out. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Here's my take on an old classic. Love this song. Hope you enjoy it!

Whiskey In The Jar - The Dubliners (Reese West Cover)

Absolutely love the Milk Carton Kids. I've been playing this song for a few years now and figured it was time to record it. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

Did someone hurt you many years ago?
Did someone desert you when you needed them the most?
And the pain stayed with you everywhere you'd go,
And it's been so long now but you just can't seem to let it go,

Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time to tell it you don't need it anymore.

Did you lose someone that you loved?
Did they move far off or do you picture them above?
There's an emptiness inside you and it's worse when you're alone,
And it feels so heavy now like you're carrying the weight of a stone,

Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time to tell it you won't carry it anymore.

We ain't got a long time and there's a lot to do
But first you gotta decide to leave some things behind

Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time to leave your chains behind

Did you ever love someone so much that you can't explain?
When you're with them it's like thunder keeps rolling through your brain,
Maybe you've had someone before, but this one is not the same,
You can feel it in the depths of your soul but you still can't bring yourself to say it,

Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time for me to tell you I can't be without you anymore.

Maybe It's Time - The Milk Carton Kids (Reese West Cover)

A little something I've been working on. Hopefully you like it! Thanks for listening!

Faaaat Bowl Of Beat - Reese West

It's been a while since I've uploaded a new track. I'm happy to say that I have one for you! I've played this song for a few years. One of my favorites from Iron & Wine and Calexico's album In The Reins. I put my own twist on it. Hope you like it! Thanks for listening everyone!!

Prison On Route 41 - Iron & Wine and Calexico (Reese West Cover)

This is a new one I just worked up in the last week or so. It started from a simple riff I came up with on the guitar and turned into the track you are hearing. This was a super fun track to make and I hope you enjoy it!

Wine Night - Reese West

My newest track! This one combines orchestras, choirs, heavy kick, and some synth. Classic combo. Dancy and melodic. Free download if you dig it and want to have it. Cheers guys!

Track 7 from Innocence

Lyrics:

Quit crying wolf because it’s not that scary
Get to the point, quit being so contrary
Your problems are yours, they’re not for me to carry
And you’ll have to swim when there’s not a ferry

Love isn’t war but your romance is grating
A ridiculous view is what you end up creating
All over their faces smiles sit there waiting
But when you look away they do some eyebrow trading

Break the blankets that are holding you down
Cause chains is a strong word and you’re not tied to the ground
Get out of the queen’s chair you don’t have a crown
But with you it’s neither up nor down

Quit Crying Wolf

Track 6 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

I'm never gonna let you go, oh no
Cause you're my love and inspiration, oh yeah
And you're never gonna run away, oh no
Cause you're my everything and I love you so, oh yeah

And you know I'd do anything for you 
Cause I love the way you're so pretty and everything that you do

I know that I will love you forever, oh yeah
Do you wanna know how I know? Cause I know, yes I know, oh yeah I know
Cause all I think about is you, ooh
And you're the only one that I ever want to see, oh yeah

And you know I'd do anything for you 
Cause I love the way you're so pretty and everything that you do

And you know I'd do anything for you 
Cause I love the way you're so pretty and everything that you do

Never Gonna Let You Go

Track 5 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

Grab your ammunition for the battle
Get your bullets, hear the rattle
Hear the warring all around you
Stand upon the battle ground
Humbled, bloody, there you’re found

For the battle is always cold
Because the art of war is old
Do not question just do as you’re told
Oh the front isn’t easy to hold

It’s a war of the words, oh the sound
The empty bodies as they hit the ground
Hear all of those who have died
All their loved ones who have cried
Cut, shutout, the hurt inside

For the battle is always cold
Because the art of war is old
Do not question just do as you’re told
Oh the front isn’t easy to hold

The Battle

Track 4 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

What the hell is this?
I’m so angry but I can’t say why
And I’m just passive aggressive
Cause being honest is something that I’m too pissed to try

Is it me or you that I’m worried about
Of course it’s me you can do whatever you want
And I want you to leave, just get out
Cause I don’t know how long this will haunt me for

And no one knows everything, just admit that this is true
And all that I ask for is a little humility, I don’t, I don’t ask for a fool

Is it funny or tragic this disgusting display?
Who will you ask and what will they say?
And you’re getting older now and it’s cold when you’re lonely
I used to think there was a line but now it’s way past broken

No one knows everything, please admit that this is true
And all that I ask for is a little humility, I don’t, I don’t ask for a fool

What is your purpose?
Where are you going?
The seasons are changing
The water is flowing

A god do you have one?
A love more than money?
When the party is over
Will you still be happy?

And all that I ask for is a little humility, I don’t, I don’t ask for a fool

No One Knows Everything

Track 3 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

Do you hear what I hear when a song comes through your headphones?
Do you see what I see when I look at someone that I love?
Do you taste what I taste when I kiss your perfect body everywhere?

But I suppose that none of it really matters in the grand scheme
Can you tell me what it means cause I don’t have a clue 
What and what not to do I’m just trying to enjoy my way through it all

Do you smell what I smell when the rain’s about to pour?
Do you touch what I touch when my hand collides with yours?
Do you feel what I feel when I realize I’m so happy to be alive?

But I suppose that none of it really matters in the grand scheme
Can you tell me what it means cause I don’t have a clue 
What and what not to do I’m just trying to enjoy my way through it all

What does it really matter?
When you’re climbing up a ladder
Only to get to the top rung and fall off

Does the meaning still linger?
Or does it slip through your fingers?
Before it ever had a chance to soak in

I’m just trying to enjoy my way through it
The thrill of not knowing what to do
I’m just trying to enjoy my way through

Hannah's Song

Track 2 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

Hey, I know we messed up but it's ok
And you know it doesn't really matter anyway
And hey, we both know there comes another day
So please don't turn away
Just let me say

I want to be your your pillow
I want to be your your stream or your, your weeping willow
I want to see you to the end
Right through the, right through the, right through the middle
Just give me a little of your love and I'll be, I'll be alright

Hey, I know there's not that much to say
But you know I don't want to throw this away
And hey, we both know our love is here today
And that's all that matters anyway
We're ok

I want to be your your pillow
I want to be your your stream or your, your weeping willow
I want to see you to the end
Right through the, right through the, right through the middle
Just give me a little of your love and I'll be, I'll be alright

I love you, I love you, I love you in every way
I love you, I love you, I love you more than I say
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I,

I want to be your your pillow
I want to be your your stream or your, your weeping willow
I want to see you to the end
Right through the, right through the, right through the middle
Just give me a little of your love and I'll be, I'll be alright

Your Pillow

Track 1 from Innocence.

Lyrics:

Is there nothing original left in the world?
You’ve probably heard this song before
And I have some questions for anyone who can answer
Can we believe just what we see?
Can we do what we believe?
Can we see what we believe?
Who knows if its all true?
All I see is blue
Do you believe in what you do?

And these thoughts in my head 
Can write themselves down
They don’t need my help
Cause they know just what I’ve done
Will you do what you believe?
Will they practice what they preach?
They say freedom isn’t free
I guess I just took it the wrong way
Who knows if anything’s true?
All I see is blue
Do you believe in what you do?

Can anyone understand me?
Not just what I sing
Can anyone even hear me?
Or does it mean anything?
Can anyone learn from mistakes of the past?
Can anyone open the curtain that sits in front of our eyes?
Can anyone know what they feel for certain?
While sitting behind this veil of lies
No one really knows what true
All we see is blue
Do you you believe in what you do?

Here's my take on Kacey Musgraves' It Is What It Is. All vocals, instruments, mixing, and mastering by Reese West. Hope you enjoy! Here are the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I think you're thinking too hard
So put on your shoes and get in your car
Put it in drive and point it this way
We don't have to talk, you don't have to stay

[Chorus]
But I ain't got no one sleeping with me
And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
Maybe I love you, maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is 'til it ain't anymore

[Verse 2]
We've tried being apart
But the truth is we are who we are
We're so much alike, it ain't a good thing
Too dumb to give up, too stubborn to change

[Chorus]
But I ain't got no one sleeping with me
And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
Maybe I love you, maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is 'til it ain't anymore

[Bridge]
'Til something better comes along
'Til whatever we have is gone

[Chorus]
But I ain't got no one sleeping with me
And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
Maybe I love you, maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is 'til it ain't anymore
Yeah, it is what it is 'til it ain't anymore
