January Baby 02:53
January baby, born into a world of wonder Open up your eyes winter child January baby, deep pools of color swarm before Your baby blue eyes Don’t you hear it all around you? Let this love surround you With your parents by your side Whispering everything will be alright January baby, snowy beaches in your yard Cry for your mama, she’ll make everything alright January baby, staring off into the distance of your cozy new home With your father by your side Can’t you feel it all inside you? You’ve finally arrived You have everything that you could need A place to grow from tree to seed January baby, you are loved

Oh, Mary Jean! You’re the castle queen Your love is always present in me Proudly wave that flag, let ‘em know what you are Mary Jean Mother of five, heart of all their lives Hand down yourself to them And down to their children then Caring kin of God, give ‘em all you’ve got Mary Jean You look down on me from the clouds Give me shelter please; shed your grace on me Oh I love you so! Didn’t ever wanna let you go But now you’re free at last, just look at the tide you cast! Mary Jean! Lovely, gentle, innocent You affected us all with your wise words I’m so glad I heard There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, I continue to live through you Lady of love ever-true, Mary Jean

We Were Born 03:45
Darlin’ take my hand, lead me through the land Tell me all you’re secrets, I promise I won’t tell a single soul Look into my eyes, I’ll look into yours Tell me that you love me; I’ll tell you I love you even more We were born to love each other, never let go of one another Maybe I was made for you We were born to love each other, never let go of one another Maybe you were made for me See the swaying trees, hear the silent breeze Take in all the sunset; it’s just how it’s supposed to be Moonlight in your eyes, shines upon your teeth Dancing on the bayside, I wear my heart upon my sleeve We were born to love each other, never let go of one another Maybe I was made for you We were born to love each other, never let go of one another Maybe you were made for me

Act I: The Letter Hey ma look, there’s a shooting star I’d tell you if I knew where you are I’m far away and I can’t come home right now Because I’m stranded on this island for the rest of my life Hey dad, can you tell me what I’ve been missing There’s no girls on this island to be kissing I’ll tell you all about it soon ‘cause I know you’re looking for me now It doesn’t matter anyhow Because I’ll wake up Sunday morning, cozy in my bed And in the afternoon you’ll take me to the zoo And I’ll get a big red balloon We’ll spend the day in the park, the movies at dark We’ll go home safe and sound far from the sea I can’t wait till you meet my new best friend named Rock He’s a real joker you know, the humor never stops I’ve got high-class friends with flowing, beautiful minds A highly intelligent social network worth my time So don’t worry too much, I’ll be just fine “With love, your son…” Act II: Depression I’m tired of playing this waterlogged guitar I’m tired of not knowing where I am All I can do is sit here in the sand Because I’m stranded on this island for the rest of my life Act III: Revelation Maybe I could make the best of it Maybe I could tell all my friends I have beachfront property Maybe I could be a billionaire in my own currency Maybe I could build a throne taller than the earth I’ve got my own private island, I’m gonna get my money’s worth Maybe I could rule this island like a king Maybe I could do most anything Maybe I’ll just lay here and enjoy the sun My time here as a castaway has only begun

Beacons 03:55
Fogged over glasses, absent light Memory creeping up on me Opening dry eyes to make them weep Brittle moments in mind, causes glare over tears Missing the comfort, long brown hair Raising restless fears, sleeplessness rises above the bed Lays waste to hanging tons over head Lighter times come and go Someone spoke not long ago Heartfelt wishes with a smile To be thrown out in the cold Heartbreak’s not hard to find I’ve found over the years All too sore for this blare To take away the shears, feelings too deep to be shed Only if they knew these beacons, they bled

She's Gone 04:49
Oh, she’s gone! And I don’t know what to do I loved that girl, then she played me for the fool There wasn’t bad intentions, but it hurts so much to know I’ll never have her back, but I just can’t let her go She’s gone, she’s gone She was my white cloud when I felt oh so blue But it’s a clear sky today with a chance of nothing but loving you So I sit here, head in hand, and I know it’s a crying shame But I was the victim of that fickle, old love game She’s gone, she’s gone I remember it like yesterday, cool wind in her hair Oh how she looked at me, oh how she held my stare She looked deep into my eyes, and said, “I love you” And all I could say was, “Darlin’, I love you too” It was love or so I thought, what we had, me and her But she took it all away, and left my heart in a deep winter I wish I could turn it back to the way it used to be But I’m all alone now, and the only thought that gets through to me “She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone…”

about

This was my first attempt at pulling together an album. Some of these tracks were recorded and/or written almost a year or more before some other tracks. It was really cool for me personally to see my old songs blend with my new songs in an order that mixes old and new without bias. This album covers many topics: heartbreak, death in the family, love, etc., along with instrumentals, ranging from soft, acoustic drones to dark, bass-heavy grooves. It was a challenge and a journey into what I could make on my own, and this is the result. Enjoy.
