Days Of Daze (song nugget)

In celebration of successfully installing Sibelius of the Mac Book pro, I wrote a quick waltz and exported the audio. Enjoy!

CRAZY WALTZ

This is my cover of one of my favorite Counting Crows songs. Also, the first successful recording I've made in my mini recording studio/office in my awesome new place in Garfield, NJ. Enjoy!

Goodnight L.A. (Counting Crows cover)

This song was written by me right before I graduated College (May 2011) a few years later than originally planned.

Lyrics:
Finally is such a loaded word
I could say ‘finally’, but why should I?
I know this is where I’m meant to be
And that is all happened for a reason

I don’t envy my life, I’d never wish it on anyone
I would be lying if I said ‘I have no regrets’
But seeing all of you here gives me this feeling
The feeling that this is just the beginning

I will stand up and say ‘I’m finally here!
And I won’t back down, no I won’t back down, I won’t back down'

I have caused my road to fill with potholes
To fix it has cost me tons
This is weird, but this debt is worth it
And I will use what I’ve learned to kill it!

I will stand up and say ‘I’m finally here!
And I won’t back down, no I won’t back down, I won’t back down'

A mammoth has been lifted off of me
I have been cured of a certain anxiety
So now I can rise, I can rise free! I can rise free!

Thanks to those who have put up with me
Trust me- I know that I’ve been frustrating
But I hope that I was worth your time
Because I know you were definitely worth mine, you were definitely worth mine!

I will stand up and say ‘I’m finally here!
And I won’t back down, no I won’t back down, I won’t back down'

Finally

Another Billy Joel cover from his first album "Cold Spring Harbor".

She's Got A Way (Billy Joel Cover)

Recorded with Joe Muglia on guitar. Awesome.

San Diego w/ Joe Muglia

Cover of one of Billy Joel's lesser known songs, "Got to Begin Again", off of one of his lesser known albums "Cold Spring Harbor", his first solo album (released November 1, 1971). This is one of my Billy Joel favorites. The lyrics just exhibit this raw and real emotion that I feel we all can relate with at some point or another in our lives.
