Lyrics:
When you play these games
That I can see
Then you call my name late at night
I can't breathe

So then you call my number
Just to pretend
Well the morning comes
And you decide
To leave me behind
You leave me behind
You leave me behind

Well holy smokes
You've been gone two weeks again
Then you pop in
Like you've been here ever since
I can't breathe

So now you call my number
Just to pretend
Then the morning comes
And you decide
You leave me behind
Ya leave me behind
You leave me behind
(You leave me behind)
You leave me behind
You leave me

Lie in bed
By myself in thought again
Waiting for you like I said
But you came and left

And then you call my number
Just to pretend
Well the morning came and I decide
To leave you behind
I'll leave you behind
I'll leave you
(I'll leave you)
I'll leave you behind
I'll leave you
I'll leave you
Leave you, leave you, leave you
Leave you
Behind

Leave You Behind

Don't Come Back

After Bobby Caldwell's passing, I felt called to embark on a musical journey and pay tribute to his timeless classic, "What You Won't Do for Love." So, I set off to Henley Row Studios, determined to breathe new life into the beloved song. Now, with my rendition ready for release, I feel like I'm ready for an unforgettable adventure.

With a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper appreciation for the power of music, and love oozing from deep within the soul.. We can take on this journey together.

What You Wont Do for Love

The songs "IT'S YOU" and "I'LL BE GOOD" both delve into the experience of witnessing a relationship slowly deteriorate, contemplating its origins while also encapsulating the emotional process of seeing love crumble and finding a path forward.

I'LL BE GOOD

Speak In The Dark

Running With Scissors

Otherworld

"War & Peace" captures that quiet kind of sadness. When you're stuck in your head, feeling lost, but still holding onto something redeeming. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you and stays with you.

The World Inside: The Story of the Sophomore Album

When The Iddy Biddies first formed at Berklee, the collective set out with a specific sonic goal: to marry the raw, intimate dissonance of indie-pop with the narrative grandeur of Americana. Led by singer-songwriter Gene Wallenstein, the group’s sophomore effort, The World Inside, represents a significant leap forward in this pursuit. It is a record that trades traditional tropes for a sound that is both structurally sophisticated and emotionally unvarnished.

The Performance vs. The Internal Truth

Drawing inspiration from the literary storytelling of The Decemberists and the "Beatlesque" harmonic complexity of Elliott Smith, the album explores the masks we wear to navigate a chaotic world. The track "It’s Just a Show" (inspired by the lectures of Alan Watts) acts as the album's philosophical catalyst, suggesting that our external reality is often a performance designed to numb the "troubled mind." This tension between the "show" we put on and the truth we carry is the heartbeat of the record.

Heady Narratives and Character Studies

The album moves through a series of vivid, often surreal narratives. From the psychedelic, Wonderland-esque character study of "Mr. September" to the sharp, socially-charged energy of "Fortunate Sons," the collective crafts stories that feel like echoes of our common humanity. These aren’t just songs; they are observations of the "follies and foibles" found in everyday life—the exhausted commuter, the impatient waitress, the "Red King" settling scores while a country falls.

The Dissonance of Reality

Musically, The World Inside embraces a "strange" beauty. On tracks like "Strange World," the band utilizes chromatic progressions and atmospheric textures to mimic the weight of internal fear. The arrangements are steady and rhythmic, favoring a driving, mid-tempo indie-folk energy that underscores the urgency of the lyrics. It is the sound of a band no longer content with "okay" solutions, pushing instead into the complex, often dissonant spaces where life is truly lived.

A Shared Invitation to Grace

Despite its explorations of heartache and deception—as heard in the biting "Words You Like To Say" or the melancholic "Love Wonders Why"—the album remains a deeply compassionate project. It is, in the band’s own words, a "dinner invitation" to a friend’s home. It is music that arrives when you have something important to share, reminding the listener through the final, soaring spiritual "In Heaven’s Lobby" that we are all traveling the same path.

The World Inside is a sophisticated, honest collection of songs for those who look beneath the surface. It is an anthem for the inter-connected, a reminder that every moment is a sacred opportunity for grace, and a testament to the heavy, beautiful weight we all carry within.
