The Essentials

After a recent morning run we saw the frost melting under the Sunrise.

Sunrise Frost

A haunting and evocative piece with a deep, resonant bass line  and complex layers of Rhodes, percussion, and synths. The musicians build tension throughout the song, creating a sense of restrained drama that is only fully released in the final moments. Despite its complexity, the track maintains a sense of restraint throughout. The musicians never fully let loose, always holding something back and keeping the song on a tight leash.

Can I Have This Dance?

along side losing the original files for this album, there were a ton of older songs of mine that were once released but dissapeared and i don't know what happened to them. one of those songs was called Overdose. Though this song is not a full remaster/recreation of that, a lot of the lyrics including the hook is what i remember of it. it was one of my favorites.

Lyrics: (Hook)
Sober, i'm sober
Was never over but now i'm sober

(hook)
Sober, sober, sober
Feeling no emotions
Sober, sober, sober
Strength is the devotion
Sober, sober, sober
Fuck it i'm overdosing
Sober, sober, sober
Drowning in my emotion

(verse 1)
I'm just a flaw, nah I’m a bomb, yeah
I came to tell the truth
Instead i lashed out at you
Meant to stop myself
Failed now it’s in the past
Present and still not ready to tell the truth
Honestly my mind is the worst
Lately been avoiding my bedroom
Its a straight up a reminder
Of all the hell I’ve been through
Open flames burning skin
That smell it's trapped in the air
It ain’t real but I believe it to be
So I guess now the question is to be or not to be?

(hook)
Sober, sober, sober
Feeling no emotions
Sober, sober, sober
Fuck it i'm overdosing
Sober, sober, sober
Strength is the devotion
Sober, sober, sober
Drowning in my emotion
Sober, sober, sober
Emotional roller coaster

(verse 2)
Its like i done burned and CRASHED
Nothing can help me get through the day
I keep thinking its just death all around me
Lively faces but their eyes hide pain
From ages of devastation
I burnt myself on the ash drinking from a flask
Cause the pain is now A reminder
Of how it even started
I'm losing my mind, I’m losing my high
No one even notices my countless attempts
To Isolate myself from this and disconnect again
The walls aren't talking again
But its cool cause i'm a loner again

(hook)
Sober, sober, sober
Feeling no emotions
Sober sober sober
Fuck it I’m overdosing
Sober sober sober
Emotional roller coaster
Sober sober sober
Having no devotion

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go 

They say all work and no play's bad for the soul, oh girl 
So won't you come on over here and let me get a hold of you darlin' 
Did you forget that you were young 
Forget how to have fun 
Let me show you 
I'm gonna blow your mind away 

I see you stressing
Is your life a bore? 
No it's a blessing 
Is that the reason our love you've been second guessing? 
Girl, just relax 

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go 

Let me show all the things you'll get from you 
Peace of mind so drown in us 
This is nothing less than destiny, it's true darlin' 
Did you forget that you were young 
Forget how to have fun 
Let me show you 
I'm gonna blow your mind away 

I see you stressing
Is your life a bore? 
No it's a blessing 
Is that the reason our love you've been second guessing? 
Girl, just relax 

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go
