A song for the prince and my king, my dad. The words remind me of me and my father’s story.

    Hope and Freedom

D, Gx3, D, A 
One cannot live without hope 
One cannot live without freedom 
I hope I can take your pain away 
Can’t wait for the freedom to get back what’s mine 
I feel good because I have hope for the future 

G, A, Bm, A
Looking up at the stars reminding each other that we are a gas of light
Take a small step 
Towards my goals 
I believe that the future is great 
As long as I see your light shine bright 
Creativity to express your hope 
And your dreams of the future 


I know that freedom is here
As long as I look up at the stars 
And feel the rays of the sun 
I’ll be alright

I can feel that I’m still here and present 
I will persist through the struggles 
Because I have hope 
Show me what’s underneath 
To find your harmony 
Sing sing sing a song
La La La La La 




Hope and Freedom E 08-01-25

Verse 1

So much I couldn’t explain
in just one day
will you stay?

It’s hard for me to say
am I too late
or did you fade?

⸻

Bridge

Lost without you, what went wrong?
Chased your shadow, now you’re gone
I can’t find where I belong

⸻

Chorus

I’m losing my mind
can you hear me? It doesn’t feel right
I’m exploding inside
left with all the love you denied

⸻

Verse 2

I’m here with myself again
fighting the pain
driving me insane

A storm inside my brain
I need escape
is that too late?


Lost

This intimate six-track EP explores identity, values, and simple truths through a country lens. At its heart is a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, celebrating her authenticity and generous spirit that defines the best of country tradition.
The collection weaves together personal reflections on finding yourself, choosing substance over superficiality, and the relationships that sustain us. Each song asks fundamental questions: Who are we when everything falls away? What legacy do we leave? How do we stay true while growing?
Musically, the EP embraces classic country storytelling with warm, acoustic-driven arrangements - like front-porch conversations set to melody. The production stays intimate and organic, allowing space for the vulnerable truth-telling that country music does best.
Themes: Authenticity vs. pretense, wisdom in simplicity, honoring trailblazers, small-town values in a big world, and the courage to be genuinely yourself.
Country music for anyone needing to remember what really matters - whether you're a lifelong fan or just need "a little country" wisdom in your life.

[DAUGHTER]
"Dad... you never really talk about the old days...
What were you like... before?"

[FATHER ]
"Before what, sweetheart?"

[SON]
"Before you settled down... before me and Jess... when you were... you know... out there."

[FATHER]
Started out with no name worth keeping
Just a poncho and a bad attitude
Drifted into towns like smoke
Left the same way
Nobody asked questions
I didn't offer answers
Back then I thought mystery
Was the same thing as strength
Turns out it was just loneliness
Dressed up fancy

[DAUGHTER]
"Were you scared?"

[FATHER]
"Every day

[DAUGHTER]
But fear keeps you alive
Out there"


[FATHER]
I collected dollars
And enemies
Sometimes it was hard
To tell the difference
The good, the bad, the ugly...
I've been all three
Depending on who was asking
And what day it was
Your hands remember
Every trigger pulled
Even when your mind
Tries to forget

[DAUGHTER]
"Do you regret it?"

[FATHER]
Regret's a luxury
I couldn't afford then
Now...
Now I got time for it"
Somewhere along the way
I stopped being the man
With no name
Started being the man
With too many names
Legend, killer
Hero, villain
Depends on who's telling the story
But out here
With you
With this fire
With this coffee that tastes
Like morning instead of whiskey...

I'm just your dad
And that's the only name
That matters anymore

[DAUGHTER]
"Are you happy now?"

[FATHER]
"Happy's another luxury
I'm learning to afford
One cup of coffee at a time"

The frontier's gone now
Towns got names
Roads got signs
Law's got rules

But sitting here
With you asking questions
I never learned to answer...

Maybe this is what
I was riding toward
All along

[DAUGHTER ]
"Will you tell me more stories sometime?"

[FATHER]
"Yeah, sweetheart
I reckon I will"

Lyrics:

Meu bem você podia avisar
Um dia pra eu tomar banho
Minha barba está pra fazer
Os dentes eu nem vou mostrar

Meu bem você podia ligar
Faz dias que eu quero falar
A barba está uma beleza
Minha boca um beijo mortal

Quando você chegou
Pô, não podia avisar?
Logo que eu te vi
Eu não tô legal, baixo astral
Quando você chegou

Logo que eu te vi
Lembrei de tudo
Não foi legal
Puta que pariu

Se lembra do que eu te falei
Faz anos que não leio mais
Se lembra o que falei pra você
Que Beatles também pega mal

Puta que caretice
Foi a causa de tudo
Lembra que te falei
Que não gosto de rock, não gosto de rave
Logo que eu te vi

Se lembra o que falei pra você
Dos livros que não quero mais
Meu bem eu nunca mais te falei
Da vida que ficou para trás

Se lembra o que falei pra você

A também vai se fuder 
Quer saber 
Fiquei aí esperando 
Encheu o saco
Mas também né 
Se aparecer um rolê é nois
Porque não estou fazendo nada mesmo 
Então foda-se 
Mas se tiver traz uma seda


Pega Mal

The deluxe edition of my sophomore album, Murphy's Law. We think this is the definitive way to listen to it. If you have the time, please put on some headphones or throw it on in the car and listen front to back. I promise it's a beautiful adventure.

I wrote this about a beautiful woman I never got to know as well as I would have liked.

Lights (demo)

Flower is a song by Amos Lee that always moved me because of how honest and simple it is. In this version, I wanted to keep that feeling but also make it my own.

I recorded it with acoustic guitar, harmonica, and organ — keeping it intimate and real. It’s not about copying, it’s about singing it from who I am.
Every word I sang believing what the song says: that love, even through fear or loneliness, is still a real force.

Hey, I’m Sean! I like reading philosophy and comparing the coffee at different cafés. I wish I was better at the drums and could speak Spanish. I write and produce alone in my apartment, and release new music the first Wednesday of every month.
