    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.

    Official release: November 6th.

lyrics

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?
