It's over now It's over now It's over now It's over now Sit by the window high and dry thinking that it's over now It's over now It's over now But it never started anyhow I'm living a lie I'm living a lie But at least I don't need to cry Cry...Cry... Sha la la la la la la la...It's over now Sha la la la la la la la...never started anyhow Sha la la la la la la la...It's over now Sha la la la la la la la...It's over now!

3.	Stay 04:57	lyrics	buy track
This day, this day... Found all my fears wrapped in a cloud of haze (cloud of haze) These rays, these rays! From the sun hit me like a stone cold gaze (stone cold gaze) These dreams, fade away...(Fade away) Empty barren shells take their place... I hope I don't fade away, Like you today, It's only yesterday, I wanted you to stay... You're only here today So please don't drift away Maybe your mind will sway (Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay) Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay Nothing to lose and nowhere to hide You were sweetness once, now you're wry... (now you're wry) Fabulous ears, you moved to tears Used to feel like the thrill would stay... (thrill would stay) Be the beauty you know you are (please don't go) Find the truth in each other's lies... (please don't go) Today is the day I'd like you to stay (like you to stay) Today is the day I'd like you to stay I'd like you to stay Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay

5.	End of the rainbow 04:31	lyrics	buy track
End of the rainbow... We could be so much closer End of the rainbow... Lights can shine so much brighter oh, at the end of the rainbow, is a place that we'll never go at the end of this rainbow, is a place where we'll never know End of the rainbow, is a place that we'll never know... Look inside your soul Look inside your soul Maybe you'll find gold Maybe you'll find more Maybe you'll find... Tales of treasures untold Look inside your eyes Look inside your mind Look away from the world Look away from the world Let your story unfold Hope the world won't seem so cold... End of the rainbow... We can get so much closer End of the rainbow... Lights can shine so much brighter End of the rainbow Place that we'll never know End of the rainbow Place where we'll never go End of the rainbow is the only place I've seen you before End of the rainbow is a place you'll never know...
6.	some kind of darkness 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Some kind of darkness I don’t know where it comes from Some kind of darkness I never seem to leave behind Some kind of darkness I don’t know where it comes from Some kind of darkness I never seem to leave behind Some kind of sadness is the bane of my existence Some kind of sadness I’ve yet to let go of Some kind of laughter I don’t find enough of Some kind of laughter I wish it didn’t go away Some kind of happiness is so sappy and misguided Some kind of happiness is what keeps us divided It might be the springtime of your life but it’s the winter of mine It might be that I’ll never grow in this neon glow Some kind of darkness is poignant and haunting Mocking and taunting Some kind of darkness I wish in all frankness didn’t fill up all the blankness It might be the springtime of your life but it’s the winter of mine It might be that I’ll never grow Oh, it’s a tragedy of time that the darkness is mine Oh, the darkness is mine.
7.	home... 04:51	lyrics	buy track
I found you in a palindrome of thoughts I dreamt in silent words Home is a lonely place of no disgrace the only place I don't need to run from (home) Are we chasing dreams or running from the fears that wake us up? I was waking up from a dream that hurt me harder than all those empty tears (home) Home it beckons me to let go I can't relate my sorrows for yours Stuck on a canopy I'd rather see the rain than let the sunlight blind me Why do I always come back to the places that never change I don't know what I lack But things have ceased to be strange My illusions are failing me they're withering prophecies Perhaps the happy place is not for me they're only stuff of fantasy... There was a little kid in a bubble who was crushed under a rubble but he put up with his struggles because the bubble was home... There was a pilgrim in a costume oh it cost her a fortune But it helped hide her wounds that she picked up home Sick of living life in hjs mind a boy ran away this time but there was no place he'd find what he found at home Facing all these things that scare you hoping someday you'll learn to care too All you've seen might be all you've known do you trust yourself to see you've grown.. ...outside of home? Who we once were isn't who we have to be isn't it strange to see our hopes and dreams in a palm tree, on a side street hear our souls cry through a tambourine I wanna believe this isn't the end but where do we go from here my friend? You say that love is all we got well, we live to love and love to hate a lot Don't wanna go back home (home) - is it love that wakes you up? Just wanna go back to myself - left love far away... Don't wanna go back home (home) - but you never had enough... Just wanna go back to myself - there's love inside of you Don't wanna go back home (home) - go back home Just wanna go back to myself - love waits at home Don't wanna go back home (home) - go back home Just wanna go back to myself - love waits at home...

about

My first mixtape, or EP, if you will, with songs I made over the last 3 months (though much of the recording has been done over the last month). Themes of isolation and finding my place in the world are central to this EP, I think. I tried to incorporate a variety of influences, from jazz fusion to psychedelic space rock to baroque pop and there's a lot of experimentation with synths and atmospheric soundscapes.

One track is purely instrumental and I have vocals in five of them.

Recorded on Ableton Live 9 Suite.
Instrumentation: Keyboard for all songs except "some kind of darkness" where I play ukulele.
Lyrics: All mine, written over the last year, perhaps a bit longer.
