Thadeus Gonzalez is a singer, songwriter, and musician from Oakland California. While fronting a local rock band Electric Sister nearly ten years ago, Thadeus caught international critical attention and was called "a front man to watch" with "an arena looking and sounding attitude." After launching a solo career in 2014, his reputation for genre blending was solidified. His independently-released debut record, Utopian Society, earned reviews like “...this musician can play and sing with the best of them recording today.” Silver Inside was released via Spectra Music in 2018, and kicked off nearly two years of coast-to-coast and international touring. Thadeus has opened for KISS, Motley Crue, Slash, and Bon Jovi. His third record, Opposite Faces, will be released via Rebel Waves Records in 2021.

About the track, Thadeus says: 
“Still in Your Mind” is about what the subconscious does in your mind while you’re asleep; dreams that deal with competition and loss, dreams about relationships where you have no power, nightmares where you can't move forward, and then the deep sleep where you have no worries.

Lyrics:

Gonna race you that day
to find how you play
but I let you take the lead
and it brought me to my knees

So we fought out in the fog 
cos, I knew what was the cause
and every night it seemed
you chased me in your dreams

still in your 
still in your
still in your mind
everytime 
everytime
everytime
robs me blind
you can't get enough 
but you can't hold on
still in your
still in your
still in your mind

Couldn't fake it that day
with things I couldn't say
the hunger I had seen
it haunts me in my dreams

So we fought out in the fog
cos I knew what was the cause
and every night it seemed
I'd wake up to a scream

The stars are shining
but we're not lost
the stars are shining for us

About the track, Thadeus says: 
"I have friends that think of, or use the term, ‘hustle’, as having a hard work ethic. This song is more about selling fake gold watches in Times Square. ‘The Death Of A Good Hustle’ is about the end of behaviors that were causing way more pain to other people than the pleasure I gained, similar to pulling one over on someone. “The Death Of A Good Hustle” is getting rid of the old ideas and thoughts that used to seem so natural. It's also about what can be after all those habits are put to an end, how you don't know what is on the other side. I needed to write this song to clear up things in my life that were not getting me anywhere."

Lyrics:

Tear your old self down
tell your demons now
gonna tear your old self down
and start anew

Forget your old mistakes
forget the tricks you played
hustle to the grave
and start anew

Start a vow right now
see how things turn out
bury your demons down
start anew

The death
The death of a good hustle
Breath in the new air
breath in the new hew hew

Tear your old self
start a vow right now
to bury your demons down
along with you

About "Ripe", Thadeus says: "When I started writing the lyrics for “Ripe”, I really didn’t have a meaning or direction in mind.

Lyrics:

There ain’t no time
Like the time when you’re ripe
It’s the best you’ll taste
In your life
Everything clicks,
Fits like a glove
Every step you take,
Is it from above

Then it’s stripped away
Before your time

A whole new life
Is seen through your eyes
It’s the best prize of your life
Soon time will test your mind
All the things you’ve left behind
Juice will fall from the vine

There ain’t no time
When you’re

Then it’s stripped away
Before you’re ripe

Ripe

About the track, Thadeus says: 
"I wrote the song, 'Lightning Hits The Land' about touring and the excitement from performing at new clubs and familiar venues. Being out on the road becomes more and more fun as the tours roll on. Living out of a van and motels really bottles up the lightning and when we get on that stage it feels like lightning striking down."
________________________________________________________________________
Lyrics: 
I am, I am, I am
The lightning that hits the land
I am, I am, I am
A storm that don’t give a damn
 
When I cross
I cross the land like fire
The only things I see, I see
Keep me burning hotter

And when I strike down
When I strike down on you

Oh that moment, that moment
When you can see the light
It blinds, defines, incites
What's on your mind
So keep rolling, rolling, rolling
Hitting from town to town
A new face, a new place
To light up all around

Lightning Hits The Land

"Leopard Skin" is about the loss of important and profound relationships; about how life is tough and always has its way with you. Looking good or acting differently doesn't change anything that you've done or have been though. Wearing a leopard skin jacket or boots doesn't cover any of that stuff up.

Lyrics:

When you took it all away
I was put down, like a stray
ohh my lord
I had to lose it again
everything had to end
spin out of control
I hear the people say
There won't be another way

I said this Leopard skin comes
without a warning
too cool to be caught in
and too thin for living

On to new horizons
but the days never change
they are all the same
I ran into an old friend
told me she couldn't
make ends
make all her ends meet.

Stuck in the middle of the road
and we all swung for the fence
and now we just don't know

Lyrics:

Turn your eyes away
From all that you’ve seen
The faces or worry
There’s no words to say
Are they alive?
Cause I can still hear them
Out on the streets
Days turn to weeks
A life in defeat
Time goes by
With nothing around
Will they be found?

There’s no way out
It’s not a dream
What you can’t find
They took you’ll see
There’s no relief
There’s no relief
From this fire you breath

We don’t see the saints
No blessings around
They can’t be found
Help me explain
To the ones who let go
And how they folded

There’s no way out
It’s not a dream
What you can’t find
They took you’ll see
There’s no relief
There’s no relief
From this fire you breath

There’s no relief
There’s no relief
For you and me
There’s no relief
There’s no relief
From the taste of success
From a life you remember best
From the top you fell into your hell
No relief

You can’t look away
From the scene of the crime
The faces of worry
Days turn to weeks
With nothing around
Will they be found?

There’s no relief
There’s no relief
From this fire you breath
There’s no relief
There’s no relief
From this fire you breath
There’s no relief
There’s no relief
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me

No Relief

Lyrics:
Can you reach my hand 
You feel so far away
After what you've seen
Why did you stay?
Lava and ash 
On once was grass
Famine, disease
Are torn blue jeans

The nude land

A soiled t-shirt
The poor stay poor
In hobo clothes
While the flames rose

The nude land
Lead the way
Out of this wasteland

I'm a refugee
I stare across the bay
I watch you sleep
In rubble and decay

The nude land
Get out of this wasteland

Lyrics:
You can't kick me out
of this old house
Just cause i haven't
turned myself around

I fucked things up
time and again
Go ahead and change the locks 
my friend

But maybe its you 
Maybe its them
Either way I gotta find out 
whats wrong in my head

You can't take a rest
when your hanging with me
Ill drag you down
pull you off your feet
Ill chop you up and sell you out
Swear I'm trying to change that all now

Some say I know 
but I don't know
How come Im always 
putting on a show

Once the curtains gone
and the lights are on
My mind goes blank
and I forget my cue

Change The Locks
