Whatever it is that we try to control, also controls us. This mystery is at the heart of "Monolithic", an atmospheric cyberpunk track that blends together elements of synthwave, industrial, and EDM.

Monolithic

My Eternal Song

2023-06-02

Nostalgia

Apocolyptic Drone

When You’re Not Around 

There’s a stone stuck in my shoe 
Reminds me what I have to do
Like fix the broken window pane
And call you up again and say

Chorus 
I’m sorry how it all went down
I go kinda crazy when you’re not around
When you’re not around

I don’t know why it’s do or die
I take it to the bottom line
And then cross over every time
Yeah I know why you said goodbye

Chorus

And you’re so beautiful
And it’s so sad alone

I went to see the local band
Singer screamed like she’s in pain
Drums sound just like garbage cans
Double shots didn’t do a thing

Chorus 

And you’re so beautiful
And it’s so sad alone

Chorus

When You're Not Around

En introduction, le bruit des vagues au port de Yoichi sur l'île d'Hokkaidō (Japon); un son que Léo Filiatrault nous a gentiment offert.

One Moon Many Moons Preludium

Vesuvius 2025

[Verse 1]
Plastic chairs and paper plates
Uncle Joe with his jokes that grate
Aunt Marie’s got her famous pie
Grandma’s stories never die

[Chorus]
It’s a family reunion
Oh what a scene
Laughter louder than the tambourine
Pass the memories
Pass the peas
We’re tangled roots in a big old tree

[Verse 2]
Kids are running
Tag you’re it
Cousin Sue’s got her karaoke kit
Photos snapping
Say cheese and grin
This is where the noise begins

[Prechorus]
Every hug feels like a song
Even when it’s been too long

[Chorus]
It’s a family reunion
Oh what a scene
Laughter louder than the tambourine
Pass the memories
Pass the peas
We’re tangled roots in a big old tree

[Bridge]
We fight
We cry
We mend
We grow
Through it all
We always show
That love’s the thread
It’s stitched so tight
In the quilt of this crazy life

Family Reunion.        Lyrics.     #family   #picnic   #plastic chairs  #famous pie  paper plates

I am a singer/songwriter and musician. I’ve been writing and performing for 30+ years.

I fell in love with music when I heard the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. When I was 16 I sang and played guitar in my first cover band (Grand Funk Railroad!). In the following years I was in and out of various original and cover bands and played bars and clubs in NJ/NY. I was also writing and playing solo. 

In the '80s I had my first home studio with a Tascam Teac 244 Portastudio. I wrote songs, sang, played guitar, bass, keyboards and programmed drums. In 2000 I bought a 8 track Roland VS880 Digital Studio Workstation and in 2020 I started recording with Adobe Audition. I have written 300+ songs, some of which are under contract with industry publishers and I have several independently released albums available on various internet sites. 

I am a graduate of The Institute of Audio Research and a previous member of the Songwriters Guild and ASCAP. I hosted the 1978 Arts Center Arts Café in Maplewood NJ. From 2001-2005 I played in a blues rock band that performed in NJ and from 2016-2020 I played 350 solo acoustic shows at restaurants, bars and private events in NJ/NY. I am currently writing and recording new material in my home studio.

Some of my influences include The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton, Doors, Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Muddy Waters, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. In addition, some of my favorite guitarists are Mike Bloomfield, Mick Ronson, Robin Trower, Mick Ralphs and Kim Simmonds.
