When We Were Young

Well hello.
I found out I get to play a show with this awesome band called Backstories.. you should check them out HERE.
It's pretty sweet; we are paling at my school, so hopefully a ton of people come! Its gonna be fun, I was just laying out the show today, I'm gonna play normal songs just guitar and vocals, and a cover of my other band but On the UKULELE! yup, haha, and a new demo I am working on for the studio. Which are the lyrics im gonna have you read today. and I'm doing it a awesomely interesting way! On banjo, with Harmonica around my neck, and playing the Tambourine with my feet! it has been interesting getting used to playing three instruments at once..

OK. So, lyrics, this song is called When We Were Young. It's about childhood innocence, and imagination. Childhood adventure, and foresight. i will post video of this when the show is over, the show is Feb 11th, at 7. So, probably expect video around... the 14th. sweet! yup yup/ so ya, without further anything..

When We Were Young

Wont you come walk with me
We'll go hunt bumble bees
We could play hide and seek
Just count to ten, and promise not to peek

Don't you wish we were free
Like we were when we were wee little lads
We could go play in the sand
Make a castle tall and grand

Let's play make believe
Your the princess and I'm the knight on my steed
I'll storm those castle walls
Until that dragon falls

Now your standing there in that same place
With a smile on your face
But now we're twenty-three
I'm down on one knee, and you say..


Wont you come walk with me
We'll go hunt bumble bees

Something New.

SWEET day!
so if you look right below this blog post, you will see one entitled, "Thoughts of You" so read that next before obeying instructions after reading this one.. (was that phrased confusingly? probably.. haha) ok so, the lyrics for this song are about letting out a secret, and seeing well hoping for an outcome.. which i will be living out my lyrics for the girl they were written about in hmmm 4 months.. when i get to see her! she still doesnt know i like her.. and all my friends are like "What the gay man!?" haha ya, i know its ridiculous, i have liked her for like a year and a half now almost two when i tell her.. ridiculous, but over that time, (as you can see in "Thoughts of You") I have fallen for her big time... so ya, hmm where was i.. ok. so, yes. i=both of these songs i just did demo recordings of and are on my myspace page so go to:

without further a do..


Something New

There's this secret that I've kept.
Something dark something deep.
It's inside everything that I have ever said.
Every word of every song i've sung for you.
You could make me collide with my dreams

tonight.

Let's cast away all our tears and all our fears
I have you, If you'll have me
Lets start something new.

Wont you come here with me.
We'll watch the stars fade away.
From underneath a moon lit sky.
trading dreams tonight.

Let's cast away all our tears and all our fears
I have you, If you'll have me
Lets start...

something new, something true
something beyond me or you.
something new, something true
something beyond me or you.

Let's cast away all our tears and all our fears
I have you, If you'll have me
Lets start something new.

Thoughts of you.

WOW, I have not written on here in a while, school just started back up, and wow, lame. so here we are again, I am sitting here in Mankato, MN eating a Cookie.
This, song... its about. well, a girl. ya. a love song you could say. you will laugh at this once you read the lyrics. hehe. well, she is about 2000 miles away from me right now.. and she (to my knowledge) has no idea that I have, well, fallen for her. so, ya. thats pretty much what this song is about, enjoy, leave comments.

Thoughts of You.


The ocean burns like my heart.
The sun beats down like your gaze.
I'm transfixed within your site.
I'm Paralyzed.

My head explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I don't know.... What should i do?
My heart explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I love you...I love you.

You seem to enjoy our time.
but i hide the things inside.
everyone else, they seem to know.
Why can't I just open your eyes!

My head explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I don't know.... What should i do?
My heart explodes with these things, thoughts of you.
I love you...I love you.

My heart explodes, i love you.
My thoughts spill out.
My thoughts explode, i love you.
My love spills out, my heart is yours.

Burning Away With Time.

Hello all!
Well, i played a show in California the day after Christmas, it was pretty sweet i must say so. had fun, first time i played a show as my new band, "The Dinner Party", pretty exciting! i got a great response to how the songs sounded, by friends and tons of drunk people........haha, and just random folks that were there for the other bands.

Well, that makes me very happy, a friend of mine told me that these lyrics were the best that I had ever written, and my other friend who played drums for me said it was the best melody I had written yet, so we decided to turn it into something huge! And, we ended with it, it was amazing, luckily I have not started to record this one yet, so I know exactly how I want it to turn out sounding.

I wrote it cause of something my friend had said on facebook and so she kinda spurred on the lyrics for this song, so, ya. the song is pretty much about, how we live, and who we are, what we do, and just Burning (that will make more sense when you have read the lyrics).

So, without more rambling:

Burning Away With Time.

What can you do without your heart?
you're not content
But can you ever really be
When you can't love?

Wont you come sing with me?
We'll yell to the people "Please,
you only got one life let it be,
something they never would have seen"

cause we're just burning away with time
just burning away
we're burning away with time
burning away

What can you do without your heart?
you're not content
But can you ever really be
When you can't love?
come now away with me
we'll live, live these songs we're singing


Wont you come sing with me?
We'll Scream to the people "Please,
you only got one life let it be,
something they never would have seen"

cause we're just burning away with time
just burning away
we're burning away with time
burning away


Well, Lets burn for the songs we sang
not burn away
Burn now with the songs we sang
not away
Burn for the world to see
NOT BURN AWAY!!!

cause they're just

burning away with time
burning away
