Love's Gone (Acoustic Session)

Les rois du monde

What was that? 
A shadow dream 
At the edge of your sight
There is nothing there
but you still take care
and nothing can make it right
Your mind is clear
there is nothing to fear
even in the depths of night
The darkness holds
such terrors
that fade with the coming daylight

The lucidity of  wakefullness keeps you sane
It's as we believe it to be
Who could imagine that the monsters that haunt our dreams
Owe their existence to me
The sunlit uplands call and we think the battle is won
But demons lurk there yet when all is said and all is done

How do we just draw a line
between truth and fantasy
As the organs of the internet
tell us this is our reality
Say goodbye to all  the things 
that you believed were sure to be
Obscure is the truth we seek
Why would you listen to me?

Why Would You Listen To Me (with Gareth)

This was a really fun mega collab with a bunch of super creative artists! Of course Stonerjazz (Jeff) is a long-time partner in crime. He instigated this one by sending bass/drum machine and guitar parts as a bunch of stems to me, Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh) and TexMex Shaman (Stephen). Stephen really developed the atmosphere with more guitars and added sound effects, I added a bassy synth and drone in the middle, and Josh added mandolin and a new bass part. Then I worked with Josh to develop the second half with added percussion and he extended his bass/mandolin parts. Finally Jeff suggested and got permission from Hosam Yousef to use his vocal samples, and added some finishing touches (intro and outro) with the guitar.

This was a wild experience and an honor to work with this crew, thanks to all involved!

Piggy In A Blanket

My meditation on human kind. I still haven't given up on the human race yet!

Lyrics:
Some people they live their life on free wi-fi
Some people obsess about how they will die
Some people they feel their love has no value
They think the best drinks are the last 2
Some people they seem to fall in love
Some people are vegetarians
Don't wanna hurt the animals
They don't mind torturing you
I've been thinking about my kind
Is this really by design?

Some people they see what the universe feels
Some people tap into the dog frequencies
Some people they wish you eternal damnation
"Hold Please,"
For the God donations
On the hotline
You know how they do
Some people they wonder how the body glitter got on you
Some people they think that they know what they knew
Yet, they fall in love
I've been thinking about my kind
Is it bad design?
Is it by design?

Some people are smart
But they're not clever
Some people live in high school forever
Some people
They contemplate infinity
While eating ramen
In between bouts of terror and lucidity
I've been thinking about my kind
Is this by design?
It's been weighing on my mind
Is this by design?
Am I wasting my time?

Slow Death

Oh, my muse, sweet pleasure  
I craved your tongue's caress  
A brief, reckless fling  
Yet hours left a bitter taste  
And lust can wound so deeply  
Are you mine still?  
I need your heat  
I need your heat  
Rush your lust straight to me  

Cold sheets still shiver  
In your bed, I break away  
To moans of lust that left me raw, yeah  
Cold regrets now cry  
Hold my truth, hold my truth, please  
I'm done with your deceit, set me free  

Oh, my muse, sweet pleasure  
I craved your tongue's caress  
A brief, reckless fling  
Yet hours left a bitter bruise  
And lust can wound so deeply  
Are you mine still?  
I need your heat  
I need your heat  
Used, and done, set me free

Oh, my muse, sweet pleasure
I craved your daring whisper
A brief, reckless tryst
Yet twilight left a vacant sting
And lust can wound so deeply
Were you ever mine?
I need your heat
I need your heat
Heal the ache of being used

Oh, my muse, sweet pleasure
I craved your fervent caress
A brief, wild fling
Yet morning bore a bitter bruise
And lust can scar so deeply
Are you mine still?
I need your fire
I need your fire
Now I'm done, set me free


Oh My Muse

In the hush of evening's glow, Whispers drift where shadows flow. Footsteps waltz on cobblestone, Lost in streets we've always known.

Moonlight Reverie

I played a beat-up cassette in my car in Nashville one day and heard this song. I thought, "I should sing like that." Then I realized it was me, I had recorded it on my portable machine after a writers night, it was late, I was very drunk. I'd completely forgotten I ever wrote it. So I got my then band together (the original Lonely Mammals) and we recorded it in 2003. But this is a brand new vocal I did in 2024. 
LYRIC:
As the freeway disappears against the sky
I hold on to the wheel and wonder why
I'm stuck without a dream or a prayer
On a road that ain't goin' anywhere
I guess that's the best I can do
Since my heart lost its way back to you

The lights of the city hit my eyes
Then the darkness of the country passes by 
The city was my shining fantasy
And the country was a refuge for me
But now there's no difference in the two
Since my heart lost its way back to you

There's a tree line silhouetted by the moon
And the dawn it will be coming soon
And the river, silver by my side
Will burn with the rising of the light
But there's no one for me to show it to
Since my heart lost its way back to you

As the freeway disappears against the sky

Home made songs drowned in the virtual mass...
