Forever In your eyes

Self Healing

Solo effort depicting my journey.

Sciatica

Out of nowhere, and without warning
a little tingle, then all is burning
Escalating, then devastating
Debilitating – It sucks

Sciatica

Sharp and shooting, rapacious looting
It takes the things that, keeps me moving
It's with me daily, never failing
Still waiting – for hope

Sciatica.   My Atica

This may drag on for just a little bit longer
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

Instrumental break

Misalignment, is now confinement
The piriformis, feels so enormous.
Spinal stenosis, or scoliosis
My diagnosis? It sucks...

Sciatica   

So long / I'm strong
The pain / Some gain
Restrained / Retrain
I grieve / Believe
It's wrong /  Stay strong
I'm torn / Reborn
No More / Endure
My rope is hope

This may go on for a little longer
What doesn't kill me will make me stronger

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.

What's next?  Who knows.
