I woke up this morning with a very vivid idea in my head. This song isn’t about anyone, and honestly, doesn’t really apply to my life. But I just had this feeling this morning. Kinda like I was in love. So I sat down and wrote this song for you all.

This is my first acoustic song and it’s honestly not very well put together. I could have polished it more, but I just wanted to make a quick little song for you guys to listen to while I’m working on putting together my album this summer.

I hope you all enjoy it! Please leave your comments and thanks for listening :).

Lyrics:
I could die in this moment
A satisfied man

I could hold onto this day
for the rest of my life

Oh, with you by my side
I could face the world

And even the worst of my fears
disappear
like the dust
when you’re in my eyes

and I could die in this moment
a satisfied man

’cause there’s nothing else
I want or need
to be true

Now it’s like a dream realized
so sweetly

and I can’t think of anything else
that I need

so I could die in this moment
a satisfied man

knowing your heart is mine
and mine is yours too

and as long as I know you will look back at me
lovingly

I could die in this moment
a satisfied man

a satisfied man

yea, a satisfied

a satisfied man

This is perhaps one of the darkest songs I’ve written so far. I came up with the idea in mid-summer, but didn’t have the time to finish it up until now. I spent a disgustingly large amount of time fine-tuning effects, EQs, and volumes, so I hope that this shows when you listen!

Most of my music isn’t really inspired by any particular band, but this song definitely has heavy influence from years of me loving Linkin Park. So if you like Linkin Park, I hope you like this song as well!

I present to you: “Alcatraz.” Please enjoy, and don’t forget to comment!

Lyrics:
I’ve caged up my tears
And boxed up the bloody smears
Of a day and an age
That hardly seems real anymore
But still, the pain,
Lingers inside of me
I’ve fought away the symptoms
But the illness remains

It’s not always as easy as writing a song, but it’s a start :). Hope this song can help people deal with whatever life throws their way.

Inspirational quote:
“Holding on is hard,
Letting go is harder,
Standing on solid ground
is weightless”

Enjoy! and please leave a comment!

Lyrics:
My skies have been overcast
for far too long
My mind’s been a haze
for far too many days
I’ve locked myself into
a lonely cage
And inside I know that I’m just
so afraid

This is the kind of song a man writes when he is guilty of letting himself down…

Spent a lot of time crafting out the sound for this. I tried some really “spacey” effects, and tried to integrate some cool sound samples into the song. My epic-orchestral roots definitely bleed through in the ending of this song, which I really love how it turned out. I hope it works! Feedback is always appreciated, and I will use your comments to improve the final album version!

Lyrics:
My broken dreams, they lay before me on the floor
What once was whole is split into these shattered shards
and now I carry on in time,
walking barefoot on the road map of my mistakes
and the glass cuts my feet, where the blood stains the carpet
and I’m carrying a debt, I can never seem to pay

This is one of my personal favorites to date. A song about hope, about life, about leaving for college, and ultimately… about letting go and embracing the world.

This song is dedicated to anyone who has ever been a part of my life in any way (Including YOU, by listening to this song). Thank you :).

It’s my way of saying goodbye, without saying goodbye.

I hope you guys enjoy! Free download is available, since this song is for you guys. This is still a BETA song, so please leave some feedback! Thanks!

Lyrics:
Here we are at the helm of our lives
Falling forward, outward, onward
It’s breaking dawn
Another day, another way
Can you see the new horizon?

It’s time to leave everything behind
It’s time to breathe a landscape, filled with possibilities
To claim the world that lies before our feet
To split into our separate ways

This is a song I started working on a while ago. I tried to go for a “Mad World” type feel, with soft/intimate vocals and some emotive string sections.

I hope you guys enjoy it. It’s probably one of the most depressing songs I’ve written, but I really love it.

As always, feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Lyrics:
[Chorus: It’s a funny place, this world of ours
And I’d probably laugh
If it didn’t feel like my heart’s been
Stomped in half]
