I am happy to report
There are birds
In the trees of Brooklyn
Out the windows
Chirping at 6 AM
Heard through cracks
Walls and siding
Singing songs
All morning long
Happy little fellows
Outside the window
Just east of Manhattan
In the morning sun
In Brooklyn

Hails the Sun
The skyline hails the sun
In a stretch upwards
Calling the blue from the moon
Orange flecks gold over the estuary arm
Setting for the even
The empire reaches high and mighty
As the east river ferry barrels through
The wind stricken water
The brooklyn bridge reaches Manhattan
Strong and grounded
As planes launch from the ground
One world trade as new as a baby in the sky
Brooklyn in the back
Heralding the spring night
The rocks
Tucked with miss on the Brooklyn beach
On a Friday night
In New York City
Distortion Drawers
Distortion drawer
Tucked up high
On the fifteenth floor
Looking scraping skies
Off buildings 529 feet high
Steam belts
Ring around tops of structures
Under the sky punctured
In the city sound
When it’s your home
You’ve found
Through the Cold
Oh we are trying to leave
Yea we’re trying to make our way
But we can’t
No we can’t no no no
Lord we can’t
–
Turnpike turned all white
These semis turned upright
Lord keep me away
From these wicked roads today
Driving around
–
I’ve got time to burn
There is one thing I’ve learned
Holding on going on
Make my way through this song
I won’t take too long
–
We shut lights out late
The snow won’t go away
Burnin candles in daylight
Makin’ me feel all right
In this winter cold
–
Oh I know
Oh, yes I know
It will be alright
I’ll hold
I’ll hold you close
Through the cold
–
Oh we are trying to go
Where this ole road, goes, rolls
Oh I know Oh I know
That’s there’s oh so long to go
With you
–
When I turned seventeen
So long ago it seems
27 I’ll make my way
Hear what mom and dad have to say
Bout me now
–
We are going to find a life
On America’s east side
Good friends left behind
This was the only time
To get away
–
Turn-in the countryside
For those city lights
A studio with some clothes
Good lord we got to go
And make it big

This is a song about how my mind seems to wonder at all times. I have a very curious personality – and I feel this song really captures the way I feel sometimes. Enjoy!
Take 1 – Stop Texting
Video
Screw Texting
This is a song about the disconnect between someone on a phone and someone not. I was really inspired to write this song as I walked through a grocery store and almost got whacked by some guys shopping cart as he laughed and texted to someone. That shit is dangerous – and i see people texting all the time when I am driving. I would say that is just as bad as drunken driving. One time i stood on an overpass in LA and 13 out of 30 cars were distracted drivers. Just zipping by doing 80 and texting. Shit be crazy. So this song explores the texting dilemma in a the form of a confused love song. I felt this would make the song most intimate and revealing to do it in this way. I think I achieved what I was going for – you tell me. I will be posting the video tomorrow. Enjoy!

Stop texting
When we are talking
There is nothing
Better to do
–
Feel like I am dying
Cause I am holding
I am holding my breathe
for you
–
Your friends calling
Just ignoring
All l the little words
I try
–
It feels vacant
In this party
Yeah this group
Of just me and you
–
It just kills me to hear you say
–
Don’t go
I wont go if there is a reason for me to stay
Don’t stay
I won’t stay if there is a reason for me to go
(Repeat)
–
I fight feelings
We have outgrown these
Damn phones
Lets throw them away
–
What could make you
So happy
Looking at that
Box in your hand
–
Fingers punching
Always talking
While your lips
Have nothing to say
–
It so quiet
In the room now
That the phone is
all tucked away
–
We can just talk another day

This is the revised version of a song that I am currently finishing up. It is about being in the grind and trying to find meaning in your work. For me it is grinding through all of the social media/marketing day to day activities of running my own company. It is a simple morning – but my mind begins to wander. That is where this song comes from. Hope to have video up soon. Cheers!
