If you have ever experienced helping friends or loved ones through tough times or ever had support from others when you have been struggling to deal with things, then just remember that there is always hope :) 


Hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead 

Its our time
We can be what we want if we want to be
Don’t waste it
Its something we need

Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly 

In a new light  
You can look back in time and think differently
Stay with me  
I’ll help you to breathe

Move on
We can leave things behind that we don’t want to see
I’ll be with you
If you want me to be
 
Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Why is it hard staying strong?
Why do we find it hard
When its easy being wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Just hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead

Hold On

Look at the things around us
The things that make a life
We’re living on autopilot
On the edge of a knife

He said you’re always right there
But you’re never right here
Sometimes I feel like
If I breathe out once more I’ll just disappear 

When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
Face the facts
It’s not coming back
When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
We’ve got to fight for that

Everything we have
It’s a miracle made real
But so all encompassing
We don’t have time to feel

She said but I’m always on
I’m talking but you don’t hear
Sometimes I feel like
One more day and I’ll just disappear 

When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
Face the facts
It’s not coming back
When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
We’ve got to fight for that 
Or it’s not coming back

Stay Gone

Written for my brother, a lion a kindness, who showed me what it is to be truly loved. 

I wrote Joe, in an attempt to describe my grief, but grief really is impossible to describe, everyone’s relationship with it is unique and so very intricate in its outpouring and implosion. You can’t know it until it lands at your door. 

To try and convey the depths of grief, the picture of it, what it is truly like, it’s visceral manifestation, you can’t, you really can’t, nor can it ever really be truly understood. But I really, had in a natural way, wanted to try to with this song. 
Untimely bereavement grief means a life and family are left incomplete, unfinished, there is no solution. Not even close to having had enough laps around the sun, woken to a new day. There is no resolution. 

It’s now been over 6000 days and nearly 17 years since Joe came home and my hope in sharing the days, was that it might make people to see just why it pulls you apart, as it has, me. But also, I wanted to sing out loud just how much I love Joe, that too, like grief is infinite.

Joe my big bro is/was/will always be a lion of kindness, compassionate, selfless, he took notice of the little things, and a joy-giving ball of smiles, calming hugs and giggly shoulders. As kind strangers as to his friend’s or family. He showed me what love is, what it means to be truly truly loved, he was our protector. He showed what it is to live with adventure at hand and a giggle in the other. An honest man, only barely a man at 21. 

Vibe plunges into the depths of a mesmerizing obsession, where passion takes hold and pulls you in completely. It's about being utterly "strung" by someone's presence, your heart beating to their rhythm, caught in a trance-like state.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of intense longing and a thrilling surrender – from the "smooth down your body" that sends a "quiver," to eyes "wider than life" reflecting pure absorption. Yet, beneath the sugar, there's a hint of unease with "fear in the cracks" and the question of whether this captivating pull comes with a price.

If you've ever felt that undeniable "vibe" from someone, this track is for you.

Listen now and let "Vibe" consume you.

Lyrics:
Under your spell
I am strung
Snaping my heart
Beating your rhythm
Smooth down your body
Shows me a quiver
Look at my eyes
Wider than life

I’m so inside
Smothered in sugar
Fear in the cracks
Uncertain skin
Aches will consume
Gotta pay something
Hooked on a line
Are you all mine

I want your Vibe,
Oooo, I need your Vibe
I want your Vibe,
Oooo, I need your Vibe

Vibe

Are You The One?

Dreamers in the twilight
Whispers of light
Glimmers of what could be
Floating through the night sky
Two souls intertwined
Lost in a reverie

Ahhhh, can you see
Ahhhh, what we could be
Ahhhh, can you fly with me
Ahhhh, just you and me

Waves crash the shore
Wind in stars above
Cascading through clouds
Words left to say 

Ahhhh, can you see
Ahhhh, what we could be
Ahhhh, in this harmony
Ahhhh, just you and me

Lost in the echo's dream
Carried by the moon's beam
Breathless, we soar so high
Together we will never die

Ahhhh, can you see
Ahhhh, what we could be
Ahhhh, in this harmony
Ahhhh, just you and me

Forever Man

My Teflon coated 
Skeleton holds a 
Pretense over me
It's harder to wash away
When the water will rush away
Leave me dry and clean


A true Forever Man
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The water in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills
Forever, Man...
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The blood in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills


Waterproof, insoluble
I'm sickly celled, with polished roads
Breathing out Gasoline
Overton turn 
The economy grows
I got the front seats for the final show
Plastic model plastered in a magazine


A true Forever Man
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The water in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills
Forever, Man...
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The blood in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills


[Solo]


Replace the trees
With tree toys
Stick 'em in the ground
Then call 'em a forest
Ain't this town so neat? 
The amount of fumes itself 
A show of force
Progress takes much sacrifice, of course
'Til our recyclable blood depletes


A true Forever Man
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The water in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills
Forever, Man...
A life extended
With DNA from Oil spills 
Frack the Land
The blood in my veins
Poured out straight down from the drills
