I think I wrote “Velvet Enemy” in 2019 or 2020 at @kallaghan ’s studio after we had shared an amazing bottle of 🍷 and then maybe some Hennessy as well 😆 He had this instrumental and I wanted to feel like I was inside of the song but feeling like I was in slow motion when writing. This is actually one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written because of the writing experience and conversations Charles as well as it being probably the furthest from @thewordalive I had ever attempted to stray from at the time. Later @lukehollandd came over and played the drums for the song, which was a master class in feel and perfect for it. I don’t talk much about my solo songs but they offer a glimpse into other parts of my life and I hope you find something you love while listening to those songs too 🖤 Art done by my friend @captvart 🔥 - Telle :) P.S. you can stream this song anywhere music is found (hopefully)

Can you taste the fear in the back of your throat? Might have to put New Reality back in our set for @welcometorockville what do you guys think 💭 #thewordalive

I know you all have been wondering when I would post some drum content and at last, the wait is finally over 🥁 Take a moment after you watch to soak in what you witnessed, and then let me know what song I should cover next in the comments below Your favorite drummer, - Telle :) #drummersofinstagram #drummerlife #drumfills #drumgod #drumlord

I found this video from our Deceiver 10 year anniversary tour and it reminded me of a few things… 1) music is the universal language. It speaks for us, and through us. I’m so privileged to get to guide our energy in these rooms. 2) live in the moment. I don’t know how long @thewordalive will get to be a band and tour the world. But what I do know is that as long as I’m able to, we will. I’m so thankful for the years and years of support. The band members, the crew we’ve had, the team members who truly gave a shit about us as humans first and foremost and to the fans who may come and go, but even for a little bit, you all have been a piece of what makes this possible. 3) you’ve watched me grow up. Some of you have been following my journey for close to 20 years. I was a teenager and this summer, the day after our headliner ends I turn 40. I’ve not always represented myself or the message of our band the way I had hoped but over time it gets a little bit easier to kill your ego and heal your pain. I will always been a deeply sensitive and emotional person. It used to cause me to people please and not show up for myself and my friends/family the way they deserved but it also kept me fighting somehow. I’ll keep learning lessons, albeit not the hard way if I can help it. 4) anything is possible. Believe in yourself and what you love as much delusion as it takes to manifest it and breathe life into your dreams. It’s not easy, and you will have to overcome more than you might ever imagine but if you can get to a point where you can look back and the younger version of you be proud, then you’ve made it. 5) start a band. If you’re a musician, start a band. Play together in a garage/basement/lockout for as long as possible. Enjoy those first steps and moments, nothing feels quite like it but you’ll be living some of the most important moments of your life every practice or jam session. 6) communicate. Tell people how you feel even if it’s hard or uncomfortable. Stay true to yourself and your people will find you. And if you’re lucky like me, they will find you even when you don’t know how to find yourself. 7) celebrate live music. Se
