A journey through self-doubt to self-confidence one takes a lot of motivation, internal dialogue and perseverance ... and focus. Focus, Focus... this song takes place at the turn-around moment for a PMA

Singles

Ghost in the Sheets

A second take on a song that Silas Michael Rex wrote the night David Bowie died. This song highlights the lyrics more with some background vocals. Self-written, mixed and recorded. It's about a relationship ultimately...  but we can all relate -- right?

Heroes (Who Stay) - Glam Cracker Mix

A take on the FKA Twigs songs. Halfway through I forgot the words and made them up. It is raw and ready to be developed into a deep house track. No thrills added to the production of it to retain the live atmosphere feels. Drums were added to nod your head along.

Good to Love (Unofficial Remix)

An instrumental explosion. Fantastic drum line. A major deviation from the usual singer-songwriter expo that Silas Michael Rex usually lives in. It was a lot of fun to create and is a true no holds barred explosion of devilish licks and turns.

DEVIL PLAY PALACE

There are things that people have said that I will never forget. Those things that sting and brand certain moments and turning points in your life. This song is composed of words that others have said to me throughout my rough couple of years... but when the words are said, where do they go? What do you do with them besides sit with them... and wonder... were they right?

Where Have All The Words Gone?

An experimental track that is a song in development. Posted in it's unedited, draft form until it is finished. A refreshing new beat for this soulful, singer-song wailer.

REVOLUTION

pulled from a recorded session of song-development and writing. Gives you an inside look at where a song starts from for Silas, as he writes based on past experiences. This song charts the area of life that deals with overcoming addiction and the relationship fails to others and himself.

Oh I (Uncut Recordings)

A melodic take on the BB King classic. Creatively delivered to keep the ear engaged and eventually drop into the subconscious.

The Thrill Is Gone

Caged Bird is a song about learning to find happiness within your limitations that society places on you... or you place on yourself.
