Forever In your eyes

Self Healing

Dharma

Quietly it begins.  
It starts from a spark and is nurtured to life. 
It grows and it changes.  
It loves.  It dreams.  
It gets lost but finds a way.  
It hurts and heals.  
It adapts and it learns.  
At some point it hits its prime.  
It seems to have it all for what seems only a little while.  
It begins to lose and starts to fear.
It starts to truly appreciate.
It starts to remember and reminisce.  
It knows it will all end someday.  
It searches, longs for, and hopes.  
It dreams again and searches for peace. 
It abruptly and inevitably ends--always too soon.  
It is the grand cycle of your life.

Regardless of the stage of your life cycle, reflect on where you've been.  What is most important to you?  What do you cherish?  Do you appreciate?  Reflect on what you've learned to become who you are.  What is next to come?  How will you experience it?  Focus on carrying the very best of you into the cycle that remains.

Lost Girl

Here are 10 of my songs written from the heart and soul of what I love. Music. All kinds, all genres, and all flavors. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

Rock'N'Roll Crackers

Velvet Petals ignite with "Rise," an immensely powerful and uplifting arena rock anthem. Driven by soaring vocals, epic guitar riffs, and a chorus that commands you to "feel the soul of the universe," this track is a journey of breaking through darkness and becoming everything. "Rise" is an inspirational call to overcome, let the heavens sing, and find transformation through endless motion. #VelvetPetals #Rise #ArenaRock #AnthemicRock #SoulOfTheUniverse #UpliftingMusic #EpicRock

Rise

"Kingdom of the Lost" is a rebellious and emotionally charged anthem that explores themes of resistance, alienation, and self-empowerment in a collapsing world. The lyrics follow a lone figure navigating a society plagued by corruption, conformity, and decay. Rather than surrender, the narrator finds strength in defiance and solidarity with outcasts and misfits. The chorus becomes a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silenced, celebrating individuality and the unbroken human spirit. With vivid imagery and strong lyrical conviction, the song speaks to anyone who has ever felt displaced but refused to be erased.

Song Title: Kingdom of the Lost
Song Style: 80s-inspired punk/post-punk anthem with gritty guitars, driving basslines, anthemic hooks, and atmospheric instrumental passages.



Kingdom of the Lost

A heartfelt tribute from a father to his growing son, "My Little Boy" captures the wonder, pride, and tenderness of parenthood through simple moments and deep emotion. It's a song about learning together, loving unconditionally, and holding on to the fleeting beauty of childhood.

My Little Boy

An ep I've been making ig I've just been making music to deal with my life. I love making it don't get me wrong, it's probably the only thing that helps me feel in a way. I'm rambling but enjoy I put a lot of effort.

YOU SURE?

You've overcome so many tribulations, why not be optimistic about this one?

Bury My Love

Collection of creative scraps of home studio ventures by solitary musician/songwriter for personal enjoyment. All works written, performed, recorded and produced by just me unless otherwise noted.  First instrument - saxophone, ventured into the guitar, then kept going.  
But I absolutely love creating and collaborating and building songs together with others.  So, this site contains solo works, collaborations and a playlist nod to a long-time revolving door of music loving players we've called Madd Cow.
