This one came straight from the heart.
If you’ve been dealing with pain, loss, or trying to heal, this song is for you.
Real life. Real emotions. Just music that speaks.

Heart and Pain

NotePad Demo Version of - The Imperfections of Life

An unfiltered journey through the eyes of our main character, The Boy, exploring all the imperfections from his view of life. We join him through the magnificent and the arduous, only to become haunted by his harrowing howls of agony, forcing us to confront everything it truly means to be human.

Across a 17-track spectacular, we open the door to the cesspit that is modern life: rage, loss, reflection, and a healthy dose of distrust — all glued together with the minute remnants of the stubborn hope that led him down his chosen paths.

Strings buzz, voices strain, emotions spill. The Imperfections of Life isn’t about escape; it’s about confrontation.

Writer Without Pen (Single)

I wrote the music in an upbeat Pop/punk style to contrast with the rather sad real life existence my friend had . He was a real character and a funny gentleman , who hid his problems away. He made everyone laugh and touched everyone who came into contact with .
