All aboard! I am happy to announce the release on streaming platforms of my first album, A Ship Named Situation.
May this music provide some warmth and understanding to all the scarred hearts out there. Do not fret! More will be revealed. As sometimes it is cabbage season. And sometimes it is tomato season.
Please enjoy! Link in bio

An album BTS! We continue the advent calendar for the album release. Note: Zeppelin was good because of the rhythm section (JPJ and Bonham). Page and Plant's fiery bravado was indeed cool but every house needs a foundation. You got what I meant

This song is named More Than Just Friends and relates a story of how sometimes, we are more, than just, friends. The first slide is the studio version and the second a rehearsal. In the studio version, I realized I was pronouncing "rushing" like a famous songwriter that I love deeply. Can you guess who that is?
"I can't quiet the gasoline
That's rushing through my veins
These visions I am seeing
Just the mud from the rains"
Thin branches that crack in the cold of winter. A skeleton looking at itself in the mirror. The pleasure—or “jouissance”, if I studied well—to hurt ourselves in full awareness. A ghost we play cards with in a foreign, mysterious world. Addiction is what suggests these joyful images to my mind. And addiction is the subject of this song “Encore Une Fois”. Lyrics in French! En français!

Welcome to the Advent Calendar of my Next Album (ACNA). Which will be released in the cracked golden week between Christmas and the New Year, in the beginning of winter. It is a celebration to our favorite kind of relationship, the situationship! All abord the Situationship!
This is a teaser for a song--The Shore--on my upcoming album. The second video is a rough demo I brought to the studio. It is about longing! Thank you for your attention to this matter
