Rainy day ditty.m4a

I wrote the melody and lyrics within one day... then it took me five months to finally record a decent version! I love this song, I think it is one of the best I have ever written.
We all have dealt with different levels of depression, losing loved ones, losing oneself. However, in the end we should never forget that within the darkest night, the sun will always rise. 
This song was inspired after Death collected some dear friends of mine, then a very special friendship had broken apart on top of it. Two years later we reconnected and our friendship couldn't have been stronger.

It's Alright

This is a rough version to start with (yes no different then anything else I have here) but working on a tighter version in which you can hear my lyrics!

I wrote this song for the last open mic at Fireflies in Del Rey, Alexandria. It was the week of Christmas. I am not one who ever asks anything for any holidays for I beleive I have just about everything I could need.  This past year (2017) I got the last thing I could need

I Got What I Want (Not a Christmas Song)

After Morning Blues

With this song I hope to urge everyone to please be wary of how much you trust the strangers you meet. Especially those you meet at the bar.  You may never know who they are.

This song was inspired by my love of eyes. Next to hair, eyes are my favorite feature on a person and the first thing I noticed.  One lady I had dated had very yellow, cat-like eyes and I caught myself saying to her once, "Your eyes are so beautiful that I want to keep them in a jar." She died laughing and it sparked the idea of many deranged poems and my fascination of Ted Bundy that would later lead to this song.

The Drifter

I've been slowly working on covering Smog/Bill Callahan's anthology and one day I was jamming around and made this riff... then realized it sounded very much like the melody for Red Apple Falls, so I made this my second Smog cover

Luke Ellison was more than my friend, more than my best friend, he was my brother. There are only two/three other people that I have love for nearly as much as I loved him. Unfortunately he is another on my list of the fallen. I live for him, I love for him. This one is for him.

This is a very rough take. I couldn't get the first song I wrote for him right after the first recording and couldn't access it again. So on the spot I made this new one. When I was still a closet artist he was one of the few to look over my lyrics. Till this day I will never forget him getting halfway through, "Firefly" from my duo Cigar Etiquette, putting my notebook down and saying, "holy shit man, this is really good."
