Common Days

I was on a flight to Scotland. The weather was rainy and miserable, but then the plane poked above the clouds, and in that moment, everything looked magical. The clouds looked like a watercolour painting.

I held on to this chord progression for quite a while, but it's this moment that I came up with the melody and lyrics for it.

Lyrics

Soaring over watercolored skies

Splash of misty cotton soaked in dyes

Pristine azure skies that stretch on into infinity

Flying on a line pointing straight towards my destiny

If I chose a moment froze in time

Nothing close to this is as divine

Share a special thought that shall echo through eternity

Sing a simple song that will guide me though the times with you

Just sittin' in a midnight taxi oh

Passing the bar, in the car, like the movies oh

Drivin' down streets, and police, on the avenues

Grab me a beer, I am here, and I'm ready for the night

The pitter patter of rain on the windshield

People around, walking down, unconcealed

All of the sights, that the lights, have revealed

Riding to South Bay, LA, I'm ready for the night

I don't usually post covers here, but I especially like the chords in this one

Theme music for the politics podcast Aces of the Round Table.

Hunger

Endless lust for power

Conquer

Disregarding the adverse consequences of our actions

Standing on the path to mass destruction

There's no going back to where we were

So long and all along

The way in the way out

The lone song the long road

The right road is always so long

Unused intro for a podcast / radio show

(originally published in 2017 but I set it from private to public on SoundCloud and now the date is 2025)

Opened the electric piano loop on GarageBand and went from there

A track I wrote during an English exam. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what this song is about, somewhere between subconsciousness and dreaming.

Demo 1 was completely edited on an iPad. For this version I replaced the vocal track, and balanced the track levels with a computer.

-----Lyrics-----

Is this real

Is this where I'm supposed to be

An endless sea of possibility

Where nothing here makes sense to me

Don't wake

Don't fall

Come with me and I'll let you do whatever you please

It's wild

It's free

It's danger that will drive you to insanity

I feel like I'm dreaming
