  • Blank Sheet

    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

    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
