It's become so apparent that man has been conditioned to prevent ourselves from achieving what we truly want. As children we are told that anything is possible, but as time grows so do invented obstacles in our way. It is an endless and crippling contradiction that we have invented and lost control of. The world should not run on money, but on love.

Into Day

Into Day

This is a collection of instrumental songs I created and recorded on two days in 2011. 918 and Sun Temple were recorded on January 21st. Window, Open, and Un were recorded on March 27th. The songs were made using my yamaha keyboard, fender stratocaster, and various effect pedals. When I made Window I had been working on some acoustic songs and my recording software was not working properly so I sat down at the keyboard in front of my window and played some things to calm down. That turned into making some interesting sounds by plugging the keys into my pedalboard. On Open, I was trying to copy the ethereal sounds that are so present in music by Sigur Ros and the song 23 Go In To End by John Frusciante. The inspiration behind 918 was a mixture of the ambient sounds that my friend Marre creates, and the reversed guitar sounds that John Frusciante often uses. When I took a break for lunch I heard some beats in my head, really basic bass lines and drums and that led to the basic track for Un, which I just improvised over with my strat through a wah pedal. When recording Sun Temple, I tuned my guitar to an obscure tuning that I don't remember now but was inspired by both The Tallest Man On Earth's tunings and Rodrigo y Gabriela's style of playing. I'm really proud of these songs and I hope you enjoy listening to them and maybe connect to something you hear or experience while doing so.

I’m singin’ with you
Singing in silence
Let’s sing into the years, like one
Singing in tune, together
A sound for no one
Let’s sing in tune, but now
It’s home

To be a musician is to create sounds that you love.

One More For the Loved Ones

Miss the times when time was free
Miss the sun but it don't miss me

Finally, the winter's here
the sparrow has found it's wings
And I've been searching quite a while
for the same thing
I think winter should come and go
Like a passing wind
Or a summer snow
The grass is better green than gray
Summer sounds are ones we like to make

So lay your body on the ground
See the clouds are holding us down
I wonder what they think about
Floating over sharp edged mountaintops

Ambition has been broken into parts
Signs that once said stop now
are telling us to start
And here I am just all alone
I'm tired of walking around
just like I'm told

So lay your body on the ground
See the clouds are holding us down
I wonder what they talk about
as they watch all of us
As they watch all of us
As they watch all of us...

Shine on Me

Movement is inevitable. The best thing we as intelligent human beings can do is to realize and live off of that fact, and devote out lives to change and advancement.

If the ocean stopped moving, we'd be able to see right through to the other side of the world, and no one would ever have to leave their homes to see what was out there beyond their yard.

Everything I know has been born out of imagination or love.

Kids on the Run

Let's let our love set the sky on fire and drive into the smoke.

Lua

Today I went to the sea
I stretched my hands out far
To reach across the waves
I felt but a whisper
To tell me there were hands
Reaching across for me

Swimming

Maybe nothing is meant to be fully understood, just interpreted and then passed on, in order for someone else to form their own opinion on it. Maybe that's how ideas are formed, and change comes about, and the world keeps turning.

The Last Season

Things change. People change. The Seasons change. And nothing we can ever do will change that.

Distant Future, Come to Me

There's a girl from a faraway land/ We've never met but I long to hold her hand/ Tell her my secrets and hear all her fears/ Understand life and love all from her words in my ears/ Distant future, come to me/Deliver everything I've always wished for you to be.

Pursuit of Happiness

I don't think we'll ever be fully satisfied with our current situation, because achieving happiness is always half the pleasure. Once we are at a point of comfort and content, we immediately look to the next level of happiness to strive for, and it seems that there is a never ending cycle of working towards something better.

Faith Will Be Rewarded

The people in which happiness comes easily aren't experiencing true happiness, only a mirage of temporary content.

I Don't Know the Real From What I Thought I Saw

Wisdom grows at night. I love finding people that are shockingly similar to me.

In Days

Don't be passive of minute occurrences in everyday life, rather treat each moment of joy or contentment as it's own Mini Epic.
