This Halloween marks the 2nd anniversary of my song, "Die Young!" It recently became my top song across all platforms, and so to celebrate all that this song has come to mean to YOU and to me, I decided to mix it up! I rly love what my friend, Parker (aka demotapes), did with this track to keep the sentiment of the original, but bring a WHOLE new kind of energy! Hope you guys enjoy this re-imagined version!

"Die Young" lyrics:
Put a picture up of you and I
Don't forget me in that moment
The trip we took to Florida
To let go with the current

Remember our times on the coast by the ocean
Didn't know that we found paradise
Back when I believed that I was eternal
Back when I was just living my life

I think I'm gonna die young
I don't know why, I can't say
I felt it for quite some time
My own prerogative
Hidden deep in my brain
I can't hold your hand
'Cause I don't know how long I'll last
I think I'm gonna die young
I think I...

Can't see myself 10 years from now
With a wife and kids to cherish
An alternate reality
With joy and happiness

Wish I had more time on the coast by the ocean
Wish I knew how we found paradise
Back when I believed that I was eternal
Back when I was just living my life

I think I'm gonna die young
I don't know why, I can't say
I felt it for quite some time
My own prerogative
Hidden deep in my brain
I can't hold your hand
'Cause I don't know how long I'll last
I think I'm gonna die young
I think I am... (whoa)

Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know, I...

Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know, I...

I think I'm gonna die young
I don't know why, I can't say
I felt it for quite some time
My own prerogative
Hidden deep in my brain
I can't hold your hand
'Cause I don't know how long I'll last
I think I'm gonna die young
I think I am... (whoa)

Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know, I...

Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know I...
Never know
Never know, I...

I think I'm gonna die young
I think I...

Die Young (demotapes Remix)

An upbeat new track from a poptimistic sad boi.
Another sad but true story from my upcoming album Songs I Never Wrote coming in 2024!

Lyrics:
It’s not your wedding
But you’re a starlet in your dark green dress
Next to you I look a mess
I was unsuspecting
It’s been years since I saw you last
Thought I left you in the past

I tried to relax
Then I heard your laugh
And it took me back
To your moonlit cul-de-sac
When your sister’s headlights
Caught us kissing in the cold

Girl, you never leave me even when you say goodbye
All I get is what you left behind
Girl, you take my breath away
Every time I see your face and then
I never breathe the same again

No good pretending
The golden band on your left hand’s not mine
Yet I still go back in time

‘Cause nobody else
Got along so well
You could cast your spell
Make me feel like myself
I still go back in time inside my mind
Kissing in the cold, lit up by headlights

Girl, you never leave me even when you say goodbye
All I get is what you left behind
Girl, you take my breath away
Every time I see your face and then
I never breathe the same again
I never breathe the same again
I never breathe the same again

An unexpected brush with your ex has the power to take you back in time to what could have been. The sonic nostalgia of this track has a wistful yet infectious energy that will cause you to forget the heartbreak of the past and dance away any regret.

The latest single from Scott's upcoming sophomore album Songs I Never Wrote (because they would have been about you) out early 2024.

Never Breathe the Same

This is one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs that I like to sing around the holidays. I've been performing it the last couple years at winter shows and wanted to share it with ALL of you!
