I came up with this song after thinking about losing friends to suicide how sometimes we don't realize how much they bring home from overseas.  Some of us can carry it well while others are still haunted about actions taken overseas

Losing My Brother

I was listening to the doors a lot when i wrote this

Fifty Ways to Tell Me No.

Brain Fog Release

Not Everyone Makes It Home.

Oh My Love So Far Away

i could tell that i really liked this person. and i couldn't figure out exactly what it was about her. one day something changed. but when i acted upon it things fell apart.  but hey it was good and i will never forget the fun times.

A Roll of the Dice

Addiction

BEEN HAVING A BIT OF WRITER'S BLOCK LATELY. WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK I WANTED TO MAKE A REALLY HEAVY METAL SONG. BUT WHEN I WALKED INTO MY BEDROOM I SAW MY MARTIN SITTING ON THE FLOOR AND I THOUGHT I HADN'T USED IT FOR A WHILE SO I PICKED IT UP AND SETUP MY RIG TO RECORD THE ACOUSTIC. PLAYED A COUPLE SIMPLE CHORDS. AND THEN ADDED THE BEAT.  THEN I JUST STARTED TO WRITE WHAT CAME TO MIND. THEN I REIED TO MAKE THE WORDS FIT BUT EVERYTHING GOT SO BLOCKY. SO I PUT THE WORDS AWAY AND ADLIBED. AFER ABOUT TWENTY OR SO TAKES I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF SINGING AND I THOUGHT THIS ONE SSOUND SUPER AWESOME ENOUGH.  THEN I ADDED THE ELECTRIC SOLO AND THEN THE BASS. I TWEAKED THE LEVELS AND THAT WAS THAT. I THINK THIS IS DEFINITLY ONE OF MY BEST AND I LIKE HOW SHORT IT IS, BUT THERE IS A LOT PACKED INTO THE SHORT PACKAGE.  LOL ENJOY.

Here and Again.

HEY PRETTY MOMMA

My friend relapsed and I was worried sick.  Drugs are so bad they hurt more than you think.

You can Never Leave the Hall of Needles

a work in progress. I wanted something pretty heavy and a solid beat on the front end and keep it kind of gritty as the song progresses.  I am not sure how i am going to finish. if its gonna be heavy to the end or let it kind of mellow down... i guess the rock gods will speak to me as i work on it and see where it goes. Thanks for listening! Cheers!

Something Broken Wont Fix Itself.

not gonna lie i was kinda of drunk when i recorded this.  i think the vocals sound a little sloppy and i used auto tune for some of it which i dont normaly do.  but any who here is the start.

Have you ever felt confused with the direction the world is going?  I did. I often find myself watching the news and feel how it ipulls us apart, but i notice that People will accept lies but deny the truth even though its blatantly obvious.

I Just Don't Understand (How the world works Anymore)

yo momma

pink sky in dark places

Burning World

I have put other versions up here and I hesitate to take them down, below are the lyrics.    

I’ve become the expert of last looks and good byes

Im afraid  I saw it on your face again tonight

You kissed my lips so tenderly but I knew you were only letting  go of me 

I will just add it to my collection of last looks and good byes

Dont worry your not the only person in my collection

Ive seen that look so many time I have it memorized








I’ve been shown the door so many diferent    times.

I dont know why it feels good to hurt all the time.

Love doesn’t come so easily damn it I don’t care.

Im gonna put my self back out there

I’m gonna try it all again. I don’t give a damn.

I like the pain I like the way it feels

It lets me know that I am still alive


You could say I'm a glutton for despair

The pain is very real but I don’t care.r

The Expert of Last-Looks and Goodbyes

Oh Come on over and sit with me and I will tell a tale or two

I will tell you of the roses Beauty as it in the mornin dew

Be careful as you stare at her as she calls out to draw you in

she smells so sweat and make you smile until you try an take her home

Her thorns so sharp will make you cry all your tears fall as rain

And in the mornin she’ll appear as wet with the morning dew

The moral of the story son is if you want to see the rose

Watch it from a distance and just stick with the Lillies lad.

The Tale of the Morning Rose

Man Eater ex

What can I say?  When a rocker gets the bug to do a Rap song.

Man Eater Final

i took the day off from work to just relax and i was messing around and i really like the way this came together... i subscribed to anteres auto tune bundle and i thought this was pretty trippy.  I hope you guys like the sound.

Am i a Fool?

I wanted this to sound like it was recorded in a garage. I wanted the singer to sound depressed and drunk.  unfortunately i was not drunk when I recorded it.

Garage Love

I re recorded the vocals on this track.  I didn't like the way the vocals sounded slurred in some of the parts and I re-arranged the second vers and the final chorus.  One of my biggest issues is finishing a song.  A lot of times I will start something and have a hard time finishing them.

Expert of Goodbyes #2

this one is strait vocals not much done to this.

Draw me Close (NO AUTOTUNE)

This is a dialogue of a man considering his feelings for his woman.  He comes to the Realization that he truly is in love with his woman.  In honor of Valentines day this is my Valentines day song.

Am I In Love With Her?

I used my new Synister Gates standard Schecter for this song.

Whats Happening to Me? Instrumentaly Insane edition

I was exploring sounds and stuff on Logic and i came accross these gems... Of coure Auto tune is Awsome.  but i do two vocal tracks one in natural voice and one with autotune effects.  i love the sound

Happy Freinds Explorer Gang!

You'll Never Know Never

I re recorded this with a new amp and new guitar.  I really enjoy the sound of this. i recorded the previous version of this a while ago and thought it would be nice to hear a difference from a couple years ago.  All my music i post is really for me to fall back onto and if anyone else feels something through it that just makes it that much better.

Alone Again

I wanted something a little faster pace and something that makes you want to drive fast. I am thinking of lyrics for this song but i wanted to hear the instrumental tracks to mull it over

Ice Cold -Frigid Gaze

Remix of the vocals. I turned off the detuning and static sound and remastered it so you can understand the words.

Am i a Fool? v2b

I fixed the vocals so you can understand what the words to the song.  I like this better.

Am I The Fool? b

Have you ever been texting someone and you see the three little dots that indicates that they are typing something but it just keeps going then it disapeers?  you're left wondering WTF?  what were they thinking and typing.  and then nothing comes through.  very frustrating.  this song is dedicated to that.

Lyrics
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
