this song features some beautiful words by an Uber driver I once had. He was spitting some wisdom and I pressed record so I could listen to it when I needed some encouragement.

Lyrics

verse 1:
i could find a million reasons not to do the things i want to
pour some wine, then lay back, kick my feet and binge some youtube

but everytime i, realize i, i cant let another 5 years go by
without making the right movements, 

wish it was simple as saying just do it
this shit is simple as saying just do it

just do it
just do it
you could if you want it
you would if you wanted

you would if you want it
you could if you wanted
(REPEAT)      

verse 2:
sometimes my mind will stop me from making the songs i want to
i want to sing
all the time,
the little girl i used to be is crying out for me to

and everytime i, realize i, i cant let another 5 years go by
without making the right movements

wish it was simple as saying just do it
this shit is simple as saying just do it  

just do it
just do it
you could if you want it
you would if you wanted

you would if you want it
you could if you wanted
(REPEAT)

beat by Solo Otto

do it, do it

We talk to our friends with ease
And we're ready with open arms to please
Yet, we hide from the ones who bore us
What are we, what are we, what are we so afraid of?

We meet up to have a drink and laugh,
conversation so random and a half,
Where is this side when we're at home?
What are we so afraid to show?

Just remember they were once our age,
And they're only getting older
Break the silence now,
Before the only thing that stands in your way is ground
Stand your ground now

We fall in love so easy with ideas
Live fantasies despite our known demise
When the comfort of our own home
Is greater than the big blue sky
What are we so afraid of?

We look for reassurance from the people
that we're not as bad, not as bad as we think
But they don't hear the silence when
you're standing side by side her
At the kitchen sink

What are we, what are we, what are we so afraid of?
What are we, what are we, what are we so afraid of?

Just remember they were once our age
And they're only getting older
Break the silence now,
Before the only thing that stands in your way
Is ground
Stand your ground now,
Stand your ground now

Just look them in the eyes and be all that you are
They may not understand, and they may never understand
But oh my god, what if they do?
They're waiting and it's in you, man
What are you so afraid of?
Just do it!

What Are We So Afraid Of? (Prod. The Remidy)

My friend Anskar on guitar, joins me in a free style session that starts out silly and turns into something more...kinda...

1:51 feat. Anskar (2015 freestyle)

Remember when you could fall asleep at night
And wake up with the sunrise
No alarm forcing you out of slumber
just the song of the birds beckoning you to wander

Remember those pictures that you painted
the poetry you orchestrated
no followers to pimp yourself to
just art that kept you liberated

i know you feel like its too late
i know you feel they can't relate
i know you feel what's done is done
i know you feel you can't have fun
i know you feel you don't deserve
i know you feel all too reserved, but

It’s still in you, it never left
It’s still in you, it never left

i know you feel like its too late
i know you feel they can't relate
i know you feel what's done is done
i know you feel you can't have fun
i know you feel you don't deserve
i know you feel all too reserved, but

so Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Cuz you’re damned if you do
Damned if you don’t anyway!

Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Cuz you’re damned if you do
Damned if you don’t anyway!

Remember when you didn’t need a man
you could make yourself come with the simple flick of the wrist
No fuckboy sucking up your time
claiming he’s real then crying to his boys saying that you’re too real
huh??
remember when being alone meant more than crying on the floor
you had yourself you didn’t need much more

i know you feel like its too late
i know you feel they can't relate
i know you feel what's done is done
i know you feel you can't have fun
i know you feel you don't deserve
i know you feel all too reserved, but

It’s still in you, it never left
It’s still in you, it never left

i know you feel like its too late
i know you feel they can't relate
i know you feel what's done is done
i know you feel you can't have fun
i know you feel you don't deserve
i know you feel all too reserved, but


so Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Cuz if you’re damned if you do
Damned if you don’t anyway!

Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Fall in love with yourself again,
Cuz if you’re damned if you do
Damned if you don’t anyway!

Fall In Love With Yourself Again (i know)

Beautiful Surprise || India Arie COVER [2015]

As an homage to some of my favourite horror films and as a creative outlet for myself, I wrote this short story through music. This was a very dark time in my life and I never wanted to share it because it's not by any means perfect. This is just a glimpse into a period of my life.

Nightmare On My Street [2015]

wrote this in 2017, while on the ttc, traveling between my first solo apartment viewings...(recorded in 2018)

Lyrics:

What are you doing up there?
When you look down, what do you see?
Cuz my mind only fixates on you,
When you cry do you think of me too?

Sometimes you’re whole babe
At times you’re half of you
When i go to sleep i awake
you’re out of view

Can I have you for more than just a few hours?
Not just backdrop for magical meteor showers?

What are you about?
I think you know me now
But who are you?
Blue moon

What are you about?
I think you know me now
But who are you?
Blue moon

Why do you play these games?
When i seem to catch stride,
i end up going round and round
never cross that line

Can I have you for more than just a few hours?
Not just backdrop for magical meteor showers?

What are you about?
I think you know me now
But who are you?
Blue moon

What are you about?
I think you know me now
But who are you?
Blue moon

bluemoon [2018]

unseriously just jamming with my buddy Anskar, complete with silly voices

Where Were You In The Morning? (Shawn Mendes COVER 2018 feat. Anskar) so unserious lol

this song is so stupid lmao

***journal entry written in 2015, recorded in 2017***

right now i wanna die
but i dont, i wanna live
in this moment
i feel everything fully, so sexy
what is it?
am i selfish?
i want you to be happy
i'm happy for you
but why do i still crave you?

i can make myself cry in bed over wanting you
it happens in the night and the afternoon
and sober too
i can't blame it on the come down from this candy 
my boy got from out of town
and i'm not a heavy thinker
but my head is drowning, drinking, thinking
that you could be the one
because we have alot of fun
i remember in my car down the street from the Thompson

when i first called you up
i didn't think nothin
that you would hop on the road
i threw the bone and you caught it
with your mouth that you would soon have between my legs (LOL)

i can make myself cry in bed over wanting you
it happens in the night and the afternoon
i'm sober too
i can't blame it on the come down from this candy 
my boy got from out of town
and i'm not a heavy thinker
but my head is drowning, drinking, thinking
that you could be the one
because we have alot of fun
i remember in my car down the street from the Thompson
