Moonlight

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Prideful Pride

An uplifting pop-rock ballad about finding the courage to rise again. Acoustic-driven with powerful orchestral build and emotional vocals.

One More Chance to Fly

A romantic ambient indie folk-pop ballad about an unforgettable gaze on a spring day. Soft guitars, dreamy textures, and heartfelt storytelling.

The Way You Looked at Me

A fast-paced punk rock anthem for every soul tired of early alarms and fake routines. Loud, rebellious, and absolutely alive.

Burn the Alarm Clock

A funky retro-modern jam about calling your crush and grooving to the hold music while they don’t pick up. Soulful, cheeky, and impossible not to dance to.

Groove on Hold

A dark track that we dug up from over 35 years ago!!  not the greatest recording but a great message.  

I DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE A COMMON MAN
IT IS MY RIGHT TO BE UNCOMMON IF I CAN
I SEEK OPPORTUNITY, NOT SECURITY

I DO NOT WISH TO BE A KEPT CITIZEN,
HUMBLED AND DULLED
BY HAVING THE STATE LOOK AFTER ME
I WANT TO TAKE THE CALCULATED RISK
TO DREAM AND BUILD, TO FAIL OR SUCCEED.

I REFUSE TO BARTER INCENTIVE FOR A DOLE.
I PREFER THE CHALLENGE OF LIFE 
TO A GUARANTEED EXISTENCE,
THE THRILL OF FULFILMENT, TO THE CALM STATE OF UTOPIA.

I WILL NOT TRADE FREEDOM FOR BENEFICENCE
NOR MY DIGNITY FOR A HAND OUT.
I WILL NEVER COWER BEFORE ANY MASTER.
NOR BEND TO ANY THREAT.

I WILL NEVER COWER BEFORE ANY MASTER.
NOR BEND TO ANY THREAT.
IT IS MY HERITAGE TO STAND ERECT, PROUD AND UNAFRAID.

TO THINK AND ACT FOR MYSELF
ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF MY CREATIONS
NO I WILL NEVER COWER BEFORE ANY MASTER.
OR BEND TO ANY THREAT.
IT IS MY HERITAGE TO STAND ERECT, PROUD AND UNAFRAID.
TO THINK AND ACT FOR MYSELF
ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF MY CREATIONS

AND FACE THE WORLD BOLDLY AND SAY….
THIS I HAVE DONE!

This I have done

A tender folk ballad that tells the poetic tale of a girl and a fawn forming a silent, unbreakable bond within a timeless forest. The song weaves medieval-inspired acoustic textures—fingerpicked guitar, soft harp, and ambient nature sounds—into an immersive, nostalgic experience that comforts as much as it enchants.

The Ballad of Elira and the Fawn

“Before the Lights Fade” is a heartfelt Future Bass track that captures the emotional climax of a fleeting moment before parting. With sentimental lyrics, lush synths, and an explosive chorus, it expresses the urgent beauty of telling someone you love them right before everything fades away. It’s the soundtrack of final words sung under stage lights—raw, honest, and unforgettable.
