DescriptionI’ve been writing songs for over 20 years, and have started doing bedroom recordings of them. But my reach exceeds my grasp: I can hear what I want different parts to sound like in my head, but can’t play it [removed] include Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, CCR, Carl Perkins, Hank Williams, Wilco, and Elliott Smith.

Dreams & AmbitionsI just want to write and record songs that people enjoy listening to.

Lyrics

Genres: Indie, Singer-Songwriter

Stack up your doubts
Pile them high
Set them on fire
A gift to the sky
A burnt offering
To insecurity
A testament to
Untold history

We’re so uncertain
The future unclear
The end of the world
Never felt so near

Everybody wonders
How we got in this mess
And no one’s really sure
How we’ll pass this test
We crash on through
An invisible wall
Try to ready ourselves
For the inevitable fall

We’re so uncertain
The future unclear
The end of the world
Never felt so near

Out on the horizon
An unending storm
Threatens to consume
Every shape and form
Nothing lasts forever
Not even love
But a spot is clearing
In the clouds above

 We’re so uncertain
The future unclear
The end of the world
Never felt so near
We’re so uncertain
The future unclear
The end of the world
Never felt so near.
