Track 05

This song has received many revisions over the years, but I think this Foo Fighters-esque psychedelic version is the most appealing. Some songs are just fun to listen to as well as play. 

Lyrics:
Goodnight Moonman 
Safe journey 
Among the stars 
We are not
What we are 
So Goodnight Moonman 
You did all that you can 
So Goodnight Moonman 
You did all that you can 

So high!

Come on Moonman 
Play me one more chord 
We'll crest the vibrations 
And create the world 
We're not your children 
But we'll do as we're told 
So come on Moonman 
Just do that 
Come on Moonman 
Just do that 

So high! 
 
Come on Moonman 
Come on Moonman 
Just take my hand 
I Am Moonman! 

Hello Moonman 
While we float here 
Worlds crumble... 
By why should we care?

Goodnight Moonman

Track 01

Welcome to my newest EP entitled 360 Blue. Originally, this EP was supposed to be something entirely different, but I decided to rework it into an instrumental album. These songs are all ballads that I think conjure images without the need of words.  The picture is of Lake Knoll which is an incredibly secluded lake that rests along the Mogollon Rim in Northern Arizona and is one of the most peaceful places on this planet. To me, Vanity is about the resilience of the human spirit and that vicious, selfish need to create.

Vanity

Track 05

This is a short happy little song that I feel succinctly finishes an album entirely reliant on personal imagination. Thank you for listening and I hope you created your own scenes and images along with way

Clouds

Track 04

I wrote this song recently and I felt like it was a cool, sort of western sounding addition to this collection of instrumentals

Mojave

Bonus Track 

This is a fun remixed version of the classic Mr. Sandman song that I have been fooling around with lately. It's probably not as catchy as the original, but I enjoy paying homage to a fun song that often gets stuck in my head.

Track 01: 

Welcome to the Ad Infinitum EP! This EP is a collection of songs that tell their own unique emotional stories. "I Am Become Death," is a song about the mindset of human beings in the wake of an apocalyptic event. This song has always been one of my favorites to sing and I think it contains some of the best lyrics I have written. 

Lyrics:

Leave this light on when you go 
It's a gift for the ghosts 
For when our audience goes home 
They will clap on and on

And if we leave them to the dark 
Forget them from the world 
They will scream silent for the old 
Lives that long since missed the mark 

The worst is over now 
The worst is over now 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world 

And this creaking stage is but a forest 
For these empty lonely souls
Hollow and rotted out, waiting for in earnest 
The sound of people falling back to the ground

Who said the worst is over?
Who said the worst is over? 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world 
Don't know what to do with this world

I Am Become Death

Track 02: 

This song expresses a lot about depression, regret, and mortality. The story is fictitious, but the sentiment raised regarding the senseless loss of a friend is something I have had to deal with in my life and I really like the way this track ended up. 


Lyrics: 

Remember when 
He called you on the phone 
Hadn't talked for months 
Said "Are you alone?" 

Shouldn't you tell your mother 
That you're coming home
Yes, I'm good at keeping secrets 
Maybe then I should have known

Constantine 
It should've been me 
It should've been me 
It could've been you
Who 
Lies awake at night 
Afraid of your own thoughts 

Isn't it nice 
To know 
You'll never know 
Yourself 
Why not? 

Sick of rolling over 
A hungry dog, expose your belly 
Feel my door is shut tight
Come to the window to hear me yelling

Isn't it nice 
To know 
You'll never know 
Yourself 
Why not?

Constantine

Track 03: 

This song is a fun power ballad about the value of individuality. This is another song that came together after a number of years of having the lyrics but never finding the right tune to go along with them. 

Lyrics:

I like trees with coils in their trunks 
And I love the idea of you but only when I'm drunk 
Sometimes I watch the leaves fall, wither in the dusk 
And I'm just like weather, that thing you can't trust 

Well you’re like a thousand people every minute 
Didn’t you say, “Don’t be yourself if you can help it” But... 
What’s so great about being 
Someone else? 
Someone else? 
I’m just me, I guess that’s kind of boring 
The lonely freak you delight in ignoring, but..
But who will you be when you find there is
No one else? 
No one else?

I like the way you struggle to say, "God" 
And I'm not homicidal, maybe I'm a little bit odd 
And I’m like depression baby, i'm fine until I'm not 
Let me keep on talking about the things that you don't got 

Well you’re like a thousand people every minute 
Didn’t you say, “Don’t be yourself if you can help it” But... 
What’s so great about being 
Someone else? 
Someone else? 
You can cut me down to size and say, “You Call this love?”
What if I told you that you’re still not enough? 
Look you in the eye and say is there 
Anyone else? 
Anyone else? 
Someone else? 
Someone else?

Fickle Freaks

Track 04:

Kenopsia is defined as: the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that's usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet. This song was supposed to pair with I Am Become Death on a concept album for a different band, that never got fully realized. I am particularly proud of my guitar playing on this song and I think I've gotten better with editing to say the least. 

Lyrics:

Yes I could describe 
Times I tried to take my life 
But the past has burned enough 

Please just decide to stay 
Be true and run away 
Forsake apocalypse 

And we can play victims still 
From readin these fairy tales
Tear out the last page first 

We don't have to go 
To heavens great dumb show
Be god for ourselves 

You have more right than me 
Saved and blessed, for us to see 
I am the damned, and right to be 

Today you left no trace 
But I wait and dig your grave 
Here am I:  The Last Man on Earth

Kenopsia, now 
Kenopsia, now

Kenopsia

Track 05:

This is a really fun instrumental track that I think is a perfect climax to the EP. I imagine this song as the embodiment of the beauty of a coming storm.

Rain

Bonus Track:

Enjoy this lullaby with a cool solo! 

Lyrics:

Little voices that inspire 
Don’t fail me now... 
Demons to whom you conspire 
You can take a bow... 

Just for one night 
Let me get things right 
It’s a wish not a want 
Just this once 

Patient savior I’ve retired 
You can come back down... 
Where’s the faith I’ve desired 
Better lost than found... 

Just for one night 
Let me get things right 
It’s a wish not a want 
Just this once

A Prayer
