wrote this about Patroclus’s death in his point of view.
inspired by the book “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller.

Lyrics:

Apollo, your wish is my command.
I know that I’m better off dead,
But this prophecy that has to be fulfilled.
Oh, it’s going to be me who takes the pill.

Gotta swallow down my greed.
I know what leaving him will do to me.
Oh, I see the waves below.
Are you going to see me go?
Make me choke.

Oh

Apollo, your wish is my command.
Throw me off this edge
Onto the rocks below.
It’s a fitting end for the sins I’ve sowed.

I’ve got to sacrifice everything 
So everything plays out how it should.
Stay the same. No I can’t do that for
My love is

Growing colder as the war goes on.
Can’t help but feel caught up in
Too many emotions.
Will he weep when I’m gone then?

They’ll wonder what went through my mind
When I fulfilled the prophecy instead
Of staying.
They couldn’t make me.

Apollo, your wish is my command.
I’m as good as dead.

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.
