This song was written for my brother who took his own life in April 2012. It's from the point of view of pleading with him to let me help him, my helplessness in watching him deteriorate but ending in personal resolution and comfort with what has happened and looking to the future with the knowledge that he is finally in peace and we will see each other again.

I hope you like it and thanks for listening. 

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:

I can see you sitting by the window, lost in your own mind...
Trying to carry on, while the burden of the world rests inside...
You say you've lost your fire light. Maybe you're right, but I'll...
Fight for you like a boxer, eyes swollen shut, swinging for the prize....

CHORUS:

Floating over troubled waters, leaving all your hopes and fears behind....
                                                             (Mortal Coil       Flesh and Bones)
Rising to a new horizon, golden moon and silver stars aligned...
There will be a time when we'll all be    where we want to be....

VERSE 2:

You think you can't go on, I beg you let me carry you...
But a piler in a house of cards is only brought to life if it lets you...
It tears out my pride and places inside my inability...
To strip you of your sorrow and cover you in hope to see you smile again....

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

There will be a time I swear I'll hold your shaking hand through the dark...
Though maybe not for years to come, you'll have a home forever in my heart...
'Til we are reunited I'll see you alive in my dreams...
I'll carry on, I'll carry on I'll always feel you watching over me....

CHORUS

Murder Me (feat. Glitter Princess)

An adventurous foray into the new world of Djent with old school melodic influence. This song is the first of many in a metal concept album I've been working on, I hope you enjoy it. 

Everything here was recorded into Cubase 5 with no post processing. All drums are Getgood Drums raw, all guitars and bass are AxeFx2XL with my special sauce tone for each.

Let me know what ya'll think! Please feel free to ask about the song, or how I went about recording it.

Tuning: 

7-String Guitar, Drop Ab
Ab-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

5-String Bass, Drop Ab
Ab-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb

Duh-jent G0d

Hey dudes, back again with some more metal mayhem.

This one was an interesting track to make. The main riff (very little to no inspiration behind it) came completely out of nowhere and ended up sounding like what I think dracula making a metal riff would sound like. The rest is kind of based on droning black metal type nonsense. I think it turned out super cool.

I recorded everything through my newly upgraded PC, Cubase 9.5, and used pretty standard EQ and Compression throughout.

This song is about how evil can slowly creep over you and the temptations it brings...flirting with the devil if you will as the song evolves into a wailing drone-y end. 

Continuing on with the concept of the album this song is a part of, this song takes place maybe a few songs in to establish that something is not OK inside the central character and he/she has realized that evil has manifested inside them

Tuning:

6-String Guitar, Drop Db
Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

5-String Bass, Drop Db (add Ab)
Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Gb

Bless The Rot

Hey dudes, back again with some more nonsense!

This one came about during a journey listening back through the melodic metal records that greatly inspired me when I was younger. The riffs are heavy, the drums are loud, the solos have sweep picking, you name it.

This song is just a fun little number. It's meant to be a journey through different musical emotions. I employed a little more syncopation in this one to give it almost a melodic "Meshuggah" kinda vibe. See if you can spot the random rhythmic modulations.

Continuing on with the concept of the album this song is a part of, this song takes place maybe a bit later in to start bringing an end to the story. The end of this song has a little motif section that signifies heading toward home after a long journey.

Demise Of The Sun

Hey dudes, back at it again with some more wankery.

This tune was a ton of fun to make, all the riffs are surprisingly easy to play. It's just meant to be gnarly / angry / aggressive / whatever adjective you'd like to use.

Continuing with the concept of the album, this song is meant to be a big recurring of motifs, especially at the end. I use about 4 different themes and specific melodies located in other songs.

The ending is completely ridiculous and I'm using a pitch shifter on each instrument to bring it an octave down because why not.

TL;DR Thanks to The Haarp Machine for writing cool riffs and inspiring me to write a tune like this.

Urban Dictionary defines TIZZLE as:

"A fat party. This word is derived from the word partizzle, shortened to tizzle, and then to tizz at it's most abbreviated form."

Honestly I can't remember why I gave this song that working title...probably because I thought it ended up sounding like a dance riff or something

Anyway, this song is sort of a one-off I made a while ago and only got around to recording it recently. I had a ton of inspiration for this song and a couple of the melodies in it from my now beautiful and inspiring wife Gabby. I hope to write more cool singles like this one in the future!

Thanks to my buddy Jackson Reed Hodges for helping with a little bit of the arrangement of this tune! Love you dog.

 "Upbeat positivity is a Wes constant, in his music and his attitude", said Rolling Stone Magazine of the blue-eyed songsmith, and Georgia Music Magazine said that "(Wesley) may just be the next big thing" in a recent publication. Long before these accolades, Wesley Cook was raised in places like small villages in the former West Germany and a city in South Korea with a life-long passion for music and people. As a songwriter, listeners are sure to hear the familiar world and rhythmic influences of Dave Matthews, Paul Simon, Jason Mraz and many more, although he captures a sound that is very much his own. "He's one of those artists that is very tough to classify… again, that's fine with him…." said Billboard.com. As a front man, his high-energy showmanship and down-to-earth charm makes it impossible for the crowd not to love him.

Wesley has shared the stage with artists such as Zac Brown, Edwin McCain, Marc Broussard, Angie Aparo, Drivin'n'Cryin, Manchester Orchestra, Joshua James, HoneyHoney, Last Waltz Ensemble, the Bridge and even Shiny Toy Guns. 

In Wesley Cook's 3rd studio album Heavy, he combines the upbeat, positive message he's so loved for with a mature, gritty edge as this album deals with and is dedicated to the memory of his brother who took his own life in April 2012.

"This album is about hope, life and healing", says Cook "and about understanding that there will always be very hard things to go through but that you can make it out alright." Although two of the six songs on this album were written directly about the devastating experience of losing his brother, he approaches them with raw honesty and a familiar silver lining that says that life does go on and that it will get better if you want it to.

In addition to the heavier subject matter there are upbeat songs like "Heavy" which is about not letting material possessions control you, to be wary of the "rat race" and to find your own happiness in the simple things. "Give Me Something To Believe In" has a flavor of light-hearted social commentary and "Up The Wall" is a romantic, sexy song about the magic of new attraction.

The single of the album "It's You" was written based on a 3 second observation at an airport. A man and woman of similar age walk past each other and each turns around to check out the other but neither catches the other doing it. A missed opportunity for a life-changing, chance meeting? Out came this song about how cosmic true love can be and the soul's hunger to find it.

He released his solo acoustic debut album, "We've Been Here Before" in 2005 as a resident of Athens, GA and quickly got the attention of music lovers as well as a nomination for Soloist of the Year. His single “So Long” from that album was even added to the “Essential Athens Collection”, a music compilation available for download on iTunes, features REM, the B52s, and other renowned artists associated with the Athens music community. Wesley was featured as an “Artist on the Rise” on MTV2 with his quickly gained clout within music circles. 

His newer, full-band album, “New Ground", in May of 2010. Since that release, he has also been nominated for Best Alternative Band by the Georgia Music Awards. “Leave It All Behind”, from Wesley’s "New Ground" album, was featured on music blog, RadioPotato.com, as one of the “Top 5 Songs of May” and the single "Sway" was featured with a live performance on Fox 5 Atlanta as well as NBC Nashville. He has since made regular appearances on television programs such as CBS Better Mornings, NBC 11Alive Metromix Soundcheck, in addition to several Comcast programs. He has performed in Festivals such as the Dogwood Festival, 99X Unplugged in the Park, Lenox Mall's Legendary July 4th, Dunwoody Arts Festival, Piedmont Park Arts Festival, Summer Shade Festival, the Chattahoochie Mountain Fair, Madison County Fair, AthFest and even Macon GA's famous Cherry Blossom Festival. He has appeared on Radio stations such as DaveFM, 99X, Rock 100.5, 94.7 The Bull, WUGA at the University of Georgia and WREK at Georgia Tech. 

Wesley has loyal fans and critics in the US as well as abroad in countries like Argentina and South Korea.
