Strange new way of life

Crank it loud and flip the world off — “Middle Finger” is pure suburban rebellion bottled into two and a half minutes of punchy, unapologetic punk pop energy.
Fast guitars, zero filter, and attitude to burn — this one’s for anyone who’s done taking crap from the system.

Lyrics –

Put them up, put them up
Put them up, put them up

Alarm clock screaming, dragging me out
 Another fake boss, another fake shout
Parents, teachers, liars too
Here’s a little something just for you

Middle finger in the air
Like I ever even care
Wave it high, wave it proud
Everybody scream it loud

Hey fuck you!!
Hey fuck you!!

Middle finger sky high forever

Put them up, put them up
Put them up, put them up
Put them up, put them up

Middle finger in the air
Like I ever even care
Wave it high, wave it proud
Everybody scream it loud

Hey fuck you!!
Hey fuck you!!

Middle finger in the air
Like I ever even care
Wave it high, wave it proud
Everybody scream it loud

Hey fuck you!!
Hey fuck you!!

Middle finger sky high forever

“The Bar Where God Used to Drink” — Irish-tinged dark-folk rock, raw, rain-soaked, confessional.
A pilgrimage into the gutter-edge of faith: a man sets out to question God about sorrow, only to discover that the voice he seeks has been living inside him all along. Whiskey, weather, ghosts, and grace blur into one truth — redemption isn’t found in heaven’s distance, but in the cracked, human places where longing meets recognition. At its heart, it’s a story about loneliness, divine exhaustion, and the moment we finally understand that the God we search for is often the courage we’ve been carrying.

━━━ ✦ LYRICS ✦ ━━━

They said there’s a bar where God used to drink,
On the road past reason’s end.
Where angels trade their halos in,
And prophets just pretend.
I walked through rain that smelled of rust,
My prayers all burned to coal,
And carried one last question up,
Inside a broken soul.

So pour one more for the heart that sinks,
In the bar where Heaven blinks.
If the Lord still listens when we bleed,
Then maybe He still drinks.

The door was red, the light was dim,
The jukebox hummed like sin.
A choir of ghosts sang barroom hymns,
While saints passed bottles in.
And there, behind the counter, stood
A man with weary grace —
A thousand storms inside His eyes,
And starlight on His face.

So pour one more for the heart that sinks,
In the bar where Heaven blinks.
If mercy’s gone and truth turns cold,
Then maybe God still drinks.

He said, *“One question — make it count.”
I laughed until I cried.
“Why let all this sorrow bloom,
If You could stop the tide?”

He looked at me and softly smiled,
His voice was cracked and worn.
*“I never left — I’m what you are,
Just tired, and reborn.”

I woke outside, the bar was gone,
The street just smelled of rain.
The angels’ cards were scattered leaves,
Their laughter soft with pain.
Now every night I walk that road,
To find that place again —
*And what I called His voice that night
Still burns beneath my name.*

So pour one more for the heart that thinks,
In the dark where Heaven blinks.
If God’s just me, and I’m just dust,
Then let us share one drink.
Yes, pour one more — for all who sing,
In the bar where God still drinks.

The bar’s still open… somewhere in the dark.

The Bar Where God Used to Drink

 This track is a raw, introspective dive into the weight of unspoken emotions. Driven by a restless pulse and atmospheric alt-rock textures, it captures the quiet pressure of trying to hold yourself together when everything feels heavy. The lyrics walk through empty streets, ticking clocks, and the echo of thoughts better left unsaid—building a haunting sense of isolation that feels universal. With a chorus that hits like a confession whispered into the void, the song blends vulnerability and grit, making it perfect for fans of moody, cinematic, emotionally charged rock.

Sway

This is the prelude to my album 'kids', out Jan 30

A heavy hybrid rock/metal track with male vocals, down-tuned guitars, glitch-metal bass, and industrial cinematic intensity. Dark, explosive, and spiritually charged; built around karmic justice, ego self-destruction, and the power of walking away. Aggressive riffs, massive choruses, glitch FX, and a brutal breakdown. This track embodies psychological clarity, cosmic force, and the mantra: protect your inner peace at all costs.

Karmic Crackdown (Collapse Mix)

X-MAS

[INTRO]
They said you were fine…
They said you’d sleep it off…
But I knew…
I fucking knew something was wrong…

[VERSE 1]
Cold floor, blank stare, lights too dim
Your name stuck on the edge of my skin
I called, you never fucking moved
And the silence in that room was rude
They could’ve helped
They could’ve stayed
But they watched from the shadows
And fucking walked away
Left you breathing slow and weak
Like your life didn’t mean a fucking thing
What kind of world just lets that happen
Then shrugs it off like “shit just happens”
Your lips were blue
Your hands were cold
And I was screaming at God
“You fucking stole her soul”

[PRE-CHORUS]
You weren’t trash
You weren’t lost
You were sick in a world that counts the cost
And they chose comfort over your life
Now I’m choking on the afterlife

[CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO FUCKING DIE
LIKE YOU WERE NOTHING
LIKE YOU DIDN’T FUCKING TRY
I WOULD’VE RIPPED THE SKY APART
JUST TO MAKE YOUR HEART BEAT ONE MORE TIME
THEY LEFT YOU THERE
LIKE YOU WERE ALREADY DEAD
NOW YOUR NAME IS JUST
A SCREAM IN MY FUCKING HEAD

[VERSE 2]
You were drowning and nobody cared
Just another body, just another stare
I showed up late to a nightmare
And found your ghost hanging in the air
I keep replaying the scene in my head
Every word I wish I would’ve said
Every sign I missed, every lie I bought
Higher the love, harder the drop
I should’ve stayed
I should’ve known
But this fucked up world lets people die alone
Now your clothes still smell like you
And that’s the cruelest fucking thing they could do

[BREAKDOWN]
You didn’t choose to be this way
You were just trying to numb the pain
But the pain took more than it gave
And now you’re just a ghost I cannot save
I’m not mad at you
I’m mad at the world
I’m mad at the drugs
I’m mad at the ones who turned and shrugged

[CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO FUCKING DIE
AND NOW I’M THE ONE
LEFT ALIVE
TO CARRY YOUR NAME
TO CARRY THIS SCAR
A LIVING MEMORIAL
OF WHO YOU FUCKING WERE
YOU WERE MORE THAN YOUR ADDICTION
MORE THAN YOUR PAIN
NOW I’M SCREAMING AT THE SKY
GOING FUCKING INSANE

[BRIDGE]
If I could trade places, I’d do it tonight
If I could rewrite wrong to right
But life don’t work like that, I know
So I carry you wherever I go
In my veins
In my chest
In the shattered pieces of what’s left

[FINAL CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO DIE
I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE LOVED
EVEN IF YOU COULDN’T SEE
NOW THIS SONG IS ALL THAT’S LEFT OF WE
AND I’LL SCREAM YOUR NAME
UNTIL MY LAST BREATH TOO
BECAUSE THIS FUCKED UP WORLD
DOESN’T DESERVE YOU

[OUTRO]
You should still be here…
And I’ll never forgive them for that…

I Can't Believe They Left you to Fucking Die

All these times
lost my mind
Can’t get out
trapped, unfound

Would you cry now?
If I die tonight
would you right now?
stay and pray for me

Would you cry now?
if I leave this world behind
would you right now?
try to clear my mind

Erase this life of mine
Won’t try another time
A cage my mind creates
locked, in a cruel place

All of those times
lost my mind
Can’t get out
trapped, unfound

Would you cry now?
If I die tonight
would you right now?
stay and pray for me

Would you cry now?
if I left this world behind
would you right now?
try to clear my mind

Erase this life of mine
Won’t try another time
A cage my mind creates
locked, in a cruel place

But from my thoughts I can’t hide
No one gets out alive!

Nooooooo!

Demons are calling my name
will I fight back
or play their game?

Erase this life of mine
Won’t try another time
A cage my mind creates
locked, in a cruel place

Erase this life of mine
Without you I won’t fight
A cage my mind creates
locked, in a cruel play

Erase This Life

Musician • Composer • Producer

I've been immersed in music for as long as I can remember. I began classical piano training at age 9 through the Royal Conservatory, and by Grade 7, I was exploring multiple instruments — flute, saxophone, trumpet — eventually teaching myself guitar at 13.

Over the years, I toured extensively with Vancouver-based bands including Krysalis, Bad Boys, September, and Metropolis, where I honed my performance and songwriting skills. My early compositions were mostly instrumental, but my passion for recording took off in the 1990s when I began producing music at home.

I collaborated closely with the singer from Metropolis, and together we released a project called Joe Fish. Since then, I’ve continued writing, recording, and producing my own material — now available on most streaming platforms.

I currently produce using Cubase 14, RME UCX II, Genome software, and Helix pedals, blending classic musicianship with modern production tools.
