Blank Sheet
Originally recorded for the album ANGST but it didn't quite fit with the feeling of the whole album. It was a really weird and confused time for me as I was just divorced and starting a new chapter in the book of my life and it was a really scary to stare at a blank sheet. Thankfully, everything was okay.
## (There's Nothing More Frightening than a) Blank Sheet
If you want to write your own destiny
just let go of the fear, let go of doubt
and let's go out into the world
when we came, we came with nothing
and when we go, we'll go with nothing at all
To some that's frightening, to me that is comforting
Just buy me a coffee and let's talk about inspiration
The travels and the philosophies
and the fears of your worst monstrosities
don't worry we are all afraid
I kind of wander around, I kind of linger and taste and touch
and feel what I don't have
I don't have an agenda, I am cage-less and free
all I need is my backpack and a guitar, a fire and some company
a drink or two of the finest beer we could afford
chatting up a nice girl and go for a long walk
and If I'm lucky I'll hold her hand, I can't believe that is my goal
In the morning I'll end up swollen and hungry maybe that's no way to be
but that's what I want right now, and I guess that's how it will be (for now)

Hard Days
This is a song I made in 2013, was supposed to be a part of my album ANGST, but I just couldn't get it to work. HOWEVER, just recently I heard the demo and the song has a brash personality and an independent spirit. So, here it is... in all its glory, untouched, distortioned, unperfect, the way it should be.
LYRICS:
## Hard Days
Without these hard days
I wouldn't know about these fun nights
A long day makes your beer taste better
And the hugs and the kisses so much more
We put our whole souls into each day,
living from check pay to pay
overdrawn checking accounts
and dealing with a busted car
There is worse than this, Where there's war and famine.
places I can't even imagine. So I am great right here!
Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.
I just had a hard day today, feeling like a machine, less of a man
Working 10 straight hours, grinding the cogs
feeling like I'm wasting my life
And the reward is long nights sipping wine
and maybe some eggs and coffee before dawn
and a good conversation
talking how we can make the world a better place.. according to us.
What is better than this, You say "fame and fortune".
Man, that's not me. I am great right here!
Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.
The day is over, let's get together
and call all of our friends pass me a cold beer, let's go out
oh how good it feels going down my throat
and into my blood let drink more and more and mooooore
Oh my god, where am I?
And where are my clothes?
Who are you people?
I gotta go because I just had me a long and grueling, powerful, wonderful, full of promise... a long ass fucking day
I'll take these hard days -

To celebrate one more year of life doing something that I love surrounded by people that I love and new friends is such an amazing gift that I don't take for granted. Very grateful to have done this show and to spend time with people that I don't usually get the chance to hang with and just joke around and talk... and drink...
Very special thanks to all that came out to party that night... means a lot to me... 🙂 -
