Beautiful <3 keep up the amazing work! Reposted

There was a boy by the river
He sat on the bank all day long
Drinking his wine and just passing his time
From dusk 'til dawn
And he's gone

There was a girl in the river
She jumped in with all her clothes
Drifting along she was singing her song
And tapping her toes
There she goes

Sing for the ones who are gone now
And all those days gone by
Sing for the love watching up above
The sky blue sky
Love. Love. Wave Goodbye.

River Song

There was a long period of time where I felt my heart wasn’t capable of feeling anything towards anyone. This song is about a guest that came into my life, showed me I had feelings, and left my life to another country just as fast as she had opened it up. While I was making the beat my buddy Mike showed me "Secrets" by Robin Irene Moss and I immediately fell in love with the hook aka the "can I miss you" part of the song. Decided to do my own rendition with Cobi Goldman on vocals, a little sax from Alex Sugarman, and some djembe from Danny Shyman. “Can I Miss You” is my musical depiction of how strange it felt to miss someone I barely knew and not know why. As cheesy as it sounds, this song is dedicated to a girl that woke up my heart. We may feel broken at times, but we do have souls. Don’t ever think that someone can’t stumble into your world and and change your life effortlessly. It happened to me. Thank you.


can i miss you?

I actually went to college with Noy but we had never actually spoken, nor did I know she was a singer until we ran into each other at a show in NYC. Long story short, her voice makes me happy, she’s dope, I like this song a lot, I hope it likes me back.  Follow her on soundcloud @noymarkel and stay tuned for her debut EP!

Lost It (ft. Noy)

I wrote this song about one of best friends who recently went through a dark period in his life similar to what I went through last summer. This song is about moving forward even when it seems impossible. I hope you enjoy "There's A Place."

There's A Place

I think that it’s safe to say
I’ve been swimming in circles
aiming for the waves.
Seems to me
we’re made for the sky
on the foggy days in paradise.

I think that it's safe to say
I'm going overboard again
and the more i think,
yeah the more i try
I’m waiting on a moment to arrive...

Stop and flex your shoulders
like a weekend mountain man.
Breath, breath in the warm air
and let the sweat clean off your hands.
Don't, don't start over -
there's no need to be born again.
No don't start over,
we don't need to be born again.

Stop and shrug your shoulders
like a weak and modern man.
Breath, breath in your woman
and let the sweat clean off your hands.
Don't, don't start over -
there's no need to be born again.
No don't start over,
there's no need to be born again…

Weekend Mountain Man

I wrote this song about my three years living in LA. How I came with unrealistic expectations, how I went through a tough time personally, left for awhile to sing on cruise ships, and how now I am back and at peace with where I'm at.
