    In the fall of 2016, I went to California with friends of mine to attend the Desert Trip festival in Coachella. After an awesome time was had I decided to hang around L.A. for a while. I got itchy feet after some time and felt the need to explore. I rented a camper van and criss crossed the state for 3 weeks or so. I bought a guitar and wrote some tunes on it at night while camping in Death Valley, Big Sur, Yosemite, San Rafael and many other wild places.

    These are the songs I wrote along with a few vamped up oldies of mine that fit right in as if they were sung the same day.

    Fast forword four years, as I write this, the world is a very different place. Somehow these songs seem to resonate more, to make more sense now.

    Hope it can bring you joy and comfort in these strange times.

Evening Star 03:23
Evening Star, light my way It's getting darker everyday The nights are long, this time of year Feel it in my bones Winter's near And there ain't no use in turning back around now The night's so dark that there's nothing to see now This time I’ve gone too far Full moon fever in my blood I'm running with the wolves All covered in mud The Northern Star guides our way The day is far, so far away And there ain't no use in turning back around now The night's so dark that there's nothing to see now This time I’ve gone too far Morning light bringer of day Won’t you show me the way Ran away from the pack I'm all alone Never going back This lone wolf's gone And there ain't no way of turning all around now There ain't no use in worrying about the past now This time I’ve gone too far

Rain 04:16
Rain rain rain Fall on my door Fall all you want I've seen rain before Hail hail hail Fall on my head For all I care Fall all over my bed I've been here so many times before I'll come back this way again I’m sure I’ll come back this way forevermore Lighting crash And thunder roar I’ve flet bad weather I can take some more Blow wind blow Blow my world away And I’ll keep on going The same old way I’ve been here So many times before I'll come back this way again I’m sure I’ll come back I’ll come back This way forevermore I’ll come back This way forevermore I’ll come back This way forevermore Fire burn on Burn my world away And I’ll keep on going The same old way I've been here So many times before I'll come back this way again I’m sure I’ll come back I’ll come back I’ll come back I’ll come back this way forevermore I’ll come back I’ll come back this way forevermore Rain rain rain Fall on my head For all I care Fall all over my bed

Between the pleasure and the pain, I’ll follow you down, Through all the pride and the shame, I’ll follow you down, I will light the way and I will catch you when you fall, Take all you have to give and or take nothing at all And I will count my blessings with you tonight Tonight, Tonight, Tonight Between the shelter and the rain, I’ll follow you down, In all the praise and the blame, I’ll follow you down, And I will come for you, when you need it the most, And I’ll be by your side, when you battle your ghosts, And I will count my blessings with you tonight Tonight, Tonight, Tonight In times of joy and times of sorrow, I’ll follow you down, Through today and all tomorrows, I’ll follow you down, And I will raise us up with my own two hands, And I will carry you until you learn to stand, Then I will finally know, what it is to surrender, And we can count our blessings together tonight Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Cold Hearts 03:29
I can’t help myself, I keep trying Trying to do the things I do when you’re around There’s no denying you left me upside down I can’t figure why I keep dying Dying every day that you’re away from me There’s no denying and there’s no turning around You won’t see me crying I’ve never done much crying You won’t think I’m trying, no My cold heart could never let go Still I wonder why I kept trying so hard to be a better man for you I’ve done much learning Cold hearts never change You won’t see me trying I’ve never done much trying You won’t think I’m trying, no My cold heart could never let go Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change I can’t figure why I keep lying Lying to myself and everyone around I’ve done much learning Cold hearts never change So please don’t ask me why I won’t say goodbye I won’t see you cry, no My cold heart could never let go Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change Cold hearts never change

I Won't 02:35
They say that I’m just lazy that I don’t have a job, that I might even rob Cause I’m roaming around, on the wrong side of town and I’m trying to get by, cause I eat on the fly and I live on the lam, by the seat of my pants but I wont And I don’t give a damn if you don’t understand Cause I am a man and I do what I can so I don’t and I won’t Cause Its all up to me and I’ll do as a please But I could and I should but I wont They say I should stop drinking Cause I’m making my own and I’m drinking alone I live in a shack with a still in the back Got corn in the sack and a gun on the rack And I do give a shit if I don’t get a hit But I wont And i don’t Give a damn what you say never did anyway And I don’t and I wont Cause it’s all up to me and I’ll do as I please And I should, and I could but I wont They say that I’m just crazy Cause I run from the law, And my feet are so sore Staying on e step ahead, Always looking for bread And I rule by my fists ,Always last on the list Cause I made a pact , With the world on my back Left my blood on the tracks And I ain’t going back No I wont Cause I am a man and I do what I can So I wont, and I don’t Cause it’s all up to me and I’ll do as I please And I should and I could But I wont

Are you getting tired of paying dues Got you thinking you were born to lose Don’t let nobody tell you when your time is through No need to worry just keep on doing what you do Getting pushed down time and time again How much can you kale and keep moving When you’re looking up at the bottom Gotta be strong and carry on Gotta be strong and carry on Don’t know for how long Gotta be strong and carry on Can you hear them calling out your name Are you trying to find someone to blame Don’t let nobody tell you when your time is through No need to worry just keep on doing what you do Gotta be strong and carry on Gotta be strong and carry on Don’t know for how long Gotta be strong and carry on Don’t let nobody tell you when your time is through No need to worry just keep on doing what you do Gotta be strong and carry on Gotta be strong and carry on Gotta be strong and carry on Gotta be strong and carry on Don’t know for how long Gotta be strong and carry on Carry on

Make Believe 03:43
I have seen the writing on the wall No surprise headed for a fall The good old days far behind And heartaches down the line Every mow and then I get a glimpse Of what’s real at least that’s how it feels We were golden for a while Those days are far behind Too few and far behind Help me, help me Get me off this trip, and get a grip on this new reality Show me, show me What can I believe, tell me please What’s in it for me Is the real world better than make believe? If one day I jump into the fire Because the world found out that somehow I was a liar Please do me a favour, let me burn Let the flames carry the blame If one day I jump into the fire Help me, help me Get me off this trip, Get a grip on this new reality Show me, show me What can I believe, tell me please What’s in it for me Is the real world better than make believe? Help me, help me Get me off this trip, and get a grip on this new reality Show me, show me What can I believe, tell me please What’s in it for me Is the real world better than make believe? Is the real world better than make believe?

Days 03:54
There are days when I Can't keep up the pace Can't slow down or I’ll Be crushed by everything I left behind I Can’t keep up the pace Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why There are days when I Feel so good inside Like everything that went on Is finally all behind Then suddenly I realize I'm not in my right mind Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why There are things that you could never understand no you just couldn't There are roads that lead to every temptation one can afford We crossed path for a little while It won't happen again Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why There are days when I Feel so good inside Like everything that went on Is finally all behind Then suddenly I realize I'm not in my right mind Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why Baby you know why
