One of the very first songs I wrote. At the time I was exploring sounds and instruments to see what felt right to me, and this song ended up being a strong example of where I could go.

When the upbeat sounds from your dying heart emerge

When the water falls

Emberface

One of the more somber track from my upcoming album "Ruin". It is one of few tracks I have written where the focus is more on the voice than the music itself, and I decided to go with a simple and traditional piano, before building an atmosphere over it.

The Dead Birds - The Mountain

oh i still feel
the aching
it's eating 
through my chest

too many things
i tried to forget
so many ways i failed you
and failed myself

oh i tried 
to make things
better
but every time
i leave a gaping wound
in someone else

I etch out my tounge
and scar my face
to give you nightmares
where you think 
there might just be grace



please walk away
please walk away

cause i can't help
myself

i can't help   
myself



i fall to sleep
gasping for air
another day 
spent on someone else

i hear your words
they're falling
like rain to the wind
i hear them
but i don't hear you
 
i wish i was brave
and opened my mouth 
to let you know
that i've almost given up


all i want
is to make you feel like someone cares
but it's not me
it's not me
i'd rather run than be near you


I'll be numb to the pain

The Dead Birds - I Wake

The Dead Birds - We are the death

However you choose to look at it, this beautiful, sad, dark and sometimes angry music will take you adrift upon its compelling chords, but be prepared for a sudden forceful movement into your soul.

These are songs that will stick with you, and if you are weak of heart, there may be tears to follow, as what we have here isn’t ‘light hearted’ by any means.

There is a very strong emotional and yet majestic tone to this music, one that will easily have one drifting into it’s story and carrying you through sometimes what almost feels like scenes of nature. 

Sitting through the music’s rise and fall, sometimes like a dream, sometimes so visual in sound as to be like a backdrop for a movie or painful remembrance, it is hard not to be moved. Those that listen, should be prepared. You’re about to go on a journey here, one that’s very real, raw, and though very aware of this world..
