about

This collection of songs for the most part were never played live and exist on a few hard drives at my family home. They have been eating at me for the past year. They were written and recorded from 2010 -2014. I tried to revisit them for a few months in 2016 and bring new life to them. It was painful for me to get back to the place I was when writing these songs. Also, unlearning how to play the guitar is something I am unable to do. So rather than rewrite melodies and change structures (as I tried tediously to do) I have decided to leave them as is, and share them as a collection, a time capsule of my years living abroad and the beginnings of my life as a songwriter. Many of the people that played on these songs I have lost contact with over the years due to babies, wives, hubbies, gaming, real jobs, you know the biz. These songs leave me with a sweet sullen nostalgia. I highly recommend writing your own soundtrack. Thanks for listening!
