I wrote, performed and produced this song myself. The theme of this song is that our lives are just a short moment to make something of ourselves.

"No Man" by Matt Hatfield

Dirt is about an alcoholic coming to terms with the reality that he is in fact an alcoholic. His realization starts when he finds himself waking up in the dirt not knowing where he is after a night of binge drinking. The remainder of the song is him thinking back on life and love lost.

"Dirt" by New Fang

My inspiration for this song, initially, was my girlfriend's Fender Telecaster. I was playing it one day when I had some free time at my house and it sounded perfect for some kind of disco throwback pop song. After I got a good guitar sound recorded with my condenser mic, I spent a really long time working out a bass line and finally landed on the one you hear throughout the song. The bass line is my baby. In all honesty, I wish I had better equipment to really let it shine but I'm happy with the overall tone and mood of the song. After the bass line was complete, and wanting the song to be decidedly one to dance to, I added the synthesized bells and drum beat. This song is completely unlike anything I've ever written before - most of my songs are a bit darker, moody, and personal. And yet on a personal note: this song may sound superficial, but as I was writing/finishing it, it became very soothing and empowering to me. "Fall Out" is about being realistic with your time and energy and respecting your own limits. As people, we are constantly bombarded with expectations, "fear of missing out," and just plain fear of disappointing others. This song is about admitting that no one can do or be everything that is asked of them. Instead, the best option is to be honest with yourself and understand that YOU are the one who must live with your choices - this is YOUR life to live and your canvas to fill. In this way, you give yourself the freedom to fulfill YOUR potential, YOUR dreams, YOUR happiness, and if you honor YOUR true inspirations, instead of everyone else's... you will never disappoint yourself.

This song is reminiscent of friends getting together and having a few drinks, listening to music and enjoying each others company. Also meeting the elusive girl that you keep seeing around and catching the eye of.

"the feeling is right" by Almost To Feedback

Having anxiety and constantly feeling like everyone’s on your case.
Everyone hits an emotional low a few times, and these words come from an emotional low.

"Tough" by The Mak Brothers Band

I was born and raised here and thought that it would be cool to have a theme song about Tampa covering all the cool things we have to offer. Being a muti-instrumentalist and lyricist, it was easy to put together a song that captured the vision of my birthplace for all to enjoy.

"Hey Hey Tampa Bay" by Marc Rod

This song is about a man remembering his wife from the past, years after her death. He has tried to move on with his life, letting her memory go, but has only lost himself in the process. Her memory and ghost continues to haunt him and remind him of who he once was. This song is a part of a concept album we will be releasing soon.

I recently turned 50 years old. It's a historical moment for anyone to turn this particular age of number. So, I composed this track to celebrate everyone's 50th birthday around the globe! Happy birthday to everyone who turns 50! Rock and Roll!

"simmering shimmering" by Steve Tamargo

This song is intended to introduce the Prophet-Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, a new world religion established in 1844. The reference to a “Thief in the Night” in this song is taken from the prophecy of Jesus (II Peter 3:10): “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night…” Some Christian theologians, known as the German Templars, interpreted the Biblical prophecies to indicate that the Prophet would appear in Palestine (Israel) in the 1800’s. Consequently, they gathered at the foot of Mount Carmel in 1863, the same year Bahá’u’lláh declared His Mission. Although He visited Mt. Carmel and lived many years in nearby ‘Akká, the German Templars failed to recognize Bahá’u’lláh (4).
