here
held tightly to her side
light so easy to see
the needs
that I possess inside
gain possession of me

caught on fire
a sudden fire baby
so alive with flames
and there seems like no tomorrow
tomorrow to this game

-

feels so cool in your skin
it's like neon in your veins
it knows no compassion
it knows no grace
so Lord forgive me
Lord understand
the power of temptation's hand

-

strange
sometimes it seems so strange
at times I cannot fight
and though I'm not
bruised or defeated
I'm bleeding from my soul

temptation's lie
burns like fire baby
a never-ending flame
though I say prayers for tomorrow
tomorrow's just the same

-

feels so cool in your skin
it's like neon in your veins
it knows no compassion
it knows no grace
so Lord forgive me
Lord understand
the power of temptation's hand

Chase Through The Forest

So this is an original thing from around 2002. The "head" (melody) came out of this in a strong way. I recorded it quickly and directly into a cheap audio interface and comped another track behind it just to get it all down. I had intended to record it later "for real" but I like the energy of this.

TailGating

This was our band Victoria's track on the first ever 96Rock Hot 'Lanta Home Cookin' album!

Natural Born Confuser

The sitar sound is simply a strat picked hard near the bridge in combination with quick slides. 

Jada

This is work I did while in the Berkeley Music program.

Tension

Open to collabs, can play, produce, and write. You can too, I bet. Sense of humor, love chords, Bowiephile.
