Be Loved 04:25
lyrics

She was just standing there After So Long She floods my mind with Sweet sweet memories gone wrong The pain returns yet I'm yearning Just to know where you've been Said I know I've been away a while You only knew me as a child Well I've grown since I thought The World was my pearl to own And now you're wondering Could I ever be loved again Could I ever be loved Could I ever be loved again Said I do believe you're the only one That can see me for me I need a shoulder Baby Please The world is cold I don't want to be alone When I grow old Then a cold silence was buried by the boiling tea I cannot shake these demons Hanging over me Cause what I said Words I knew I never meant Had brought you down And now you're wondering... Could I ever be loved again Could I ever be loved Could I ever be loved again Now you're here, As if you heard my cry for help Spent so much time hoping I could be Loved Myself I've longed to say, that I loved you everyday But you can't stay So I told her.... Girl I know you'll find love again And it will come, from within And not from the affection of another man It may come from a friend Who discovered he could love again

When I woke I was of the mind To lay back down Keep the warmth at our side But minutes start to catch up When you start to rise The air is so cold And hard to fight I feel I'm leaving myself behind Waiting for a sign This road's my brother It has aged with me But I long to see another Leave this same old street Will my leaving mean my life has been Just a waste of time Can I leave my place beside you Far behind Cause I see myself in the rear view mirror Feeling alone when I know that you're here And I once knew what it took To open the door Now I can't Hold on anymore Oh my soul sings silent songs Of a part of me I fear is gone I can't, Hold on anymore Don't think that it's easy Cause I'm torn I tell myself it's not a problem I can leave anytime Then I get to feeling brave And I choke every time But when I'm with her I don't mind I'm a child once again Running Free throughout the playground Long before I saw the fence Oh and since when did loving you Mean my end I guess that being lovers Means that we can't be friends How could I'd known before I tried so hard At pulling you up now I feel myself faling And I once knew what it took To get off the floor Now I can't Hold on anymore Oh my soul sings silent songs Of a part of me I fear is gone I can't, Hold on anymore You seem to think it's easy I can't Hold on anymore Oh my soul sings silent songs Of a part of me I fear is gone I can't, Hold on anymore You think that it's easy But I'm Torn

Stuck In Blue 04:41

Once again I'm back In the place you left me in Maybe if I tried To be less satisfied I wouldn't have grown so Used to being alone This painting's old And the cracks begin to show I want to be free And live outside this memory Colors fade away And my senses are led astray It's hard to keep on caring When the world feels so barren And I'm stuck in blue I can't seem to recall my colors No matter what I do And I'm stuck in blue I need to find a way To get over you Right Now Put my happiness in a bag On the shelf Every once in a while I take it out and I fake a smile Colors fade away And my senses are led astray It's hard to keep on caring When the world feels so barren And I'm stuck in blue I can't seem to recall my colors No matter what I do And I'm stuck in blue I need to find a way To get over you

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, jesus You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walking my mind to an easy time With my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again

about

In the fall of 2010 I broke my wrist in a mosh pit and was out of commission for the next couple of months. I didn't know what to expect, I was suddenly faced with the very real possibility that I might never be able to play guitar again. But I wouldn't accept that.

As soon as I was able to bend my wrist enough I began playing guitar upside down until I could fully rotate it. During this time I was writing songs that were much more lyrical than ones I had written before, and I was getting very positive response on them. Thanks to my perseverance, the guitar itself, and the help of my girlfriend Megan, I made a full recovery, losing none of my capabilities on the guitar. The doctor had never seen anything like it.

By March I had written enough songs to put together a small EP, and with the help of my friends and the studios at our disposal at SUNY Purchase, we were able to cut "The Gypsy Wolf" EP in less than 2 months.

Writing, playing, and always searching for my voice. My music is a blend of roots inspired blues guitar with the storytelling and imagery of the folk songs of the 70's that helped keep a generation of lost and displaced youth from feeling alone.
