Goin' Up

We Were Pirates

Save Tonight (Eagle Eye Cherry Cover)

Waiting To Die (Useful Jenkins Cover)

So Close

Forgiven

Gotta Do

Where I Belong

My new producer alter ego - "Scarrps" - is coming out to play.  Check out my first song, and my first time producing a track on Ableton.

Lyrics:
The pressure’s pushing down on me, I don’t think I can take it
It’s something you love so much, that you just might break it
See they’ve got that something special, you just can’t fake it
What has been and what will never be, I don’t think I will make it.

But I bet we all will say that
“These were the best days
of our lives
When we all thought the Human race
Could survive
And there was hope for a better way to be 
Alive
Now all I wish is that I could say
That we tried
We didn’t try
We lied”

So we fight for our equality, but we make our own bed
I wonder “will it ever be? or just left for dead?”
I don’t believe in your fantasy, this he said she said
To me it is plain to see, that more than tears will be shed

we lied we lied we never told the truth
we lied we lied and left it up to you
we lied we lied it’s all that we ever knew
we lied, and I cry, for you.

Make It

Scarrps - Make It

I wrote and recorded 95% of this song in three hours last Sunday night (April 26th, 2020), and I just fell in love with it.  After over a month of lockdown and isolation - it's nice to produce a new song that I am excited about.  I recorded all of the analog instruments myself (guitar, bass, vocals, synth, percussion) and used a few tweaked prefab drum tracks.  It may not be big studio quality - but I hope it's a banger to you!!  Lyrics are below.

I'm giving this song a way for free.  You can download the high quality track whenever you'd like.  It's definitely been keeping me out of funk the last couple days - and I hope it does the same for you!  If you are able and compelled to make a donation - please do so on either PayPal or Venmo.

Come Out Tonight by Smokin' Joe

This is the world
This is the world

No, we can't come out tonight
No, no, staying home
No, we can't come out tonight
No, no, no, staying home

This is the world we're living in
We're giving in
We're taking it away
This is the girl spinning, spinning
Away

You're giving me a fright
Oh no, no, come home
You're giving me a fright
Oh no, no, come home, come home

This is the world we're living in
We're giving in
We're taking it away
This is the girl spinning, spinning
Away

Body's going comatose
Looking like you've seen a ghost
Body's going comatose
Looking like you've seen a ghost
You're the one I love the most
You're the one I love the most
You're the one I love the most

No, we can't come out tonight
Oh, no, no, staying home

This is the world we're living in
We're giving in
We're taking it away
This is the girl spinning, spinning
Away
