Artist picture
Intelligent lyrics wrapped in dripping wet melodies. Been descibed as music you've always wanted to hear but never had the chance to.
To quote a bit of Shakespeare, "A life mended is but patched". The sutures split and the life drains from the wound. Once healed, the scar remains as a reminder of the pain. These are my scars. These are my thoughts, ideas, and wisdom I have gained along the way. The twisted raised surface of a life torn and mended and torn again. This is my collagen, my bandages, and all that lies beneath. It's been years since I have visited this page. I should be working to remedy that soon. The degree is in the bag--at least most of it--and the music can now resurface. Over the course of the next few months I will be going back to work on the Lethologica album. At this conjuncture, the tracks look like they'll be a lot more complete and complex (and possibly more eclectic) than the work I have done in the past. I am also hoping for a bit more congruence of sound--one of my biggest concerns with the last two albums. As the songs come together I will be uploading them for your perusal. Those of you who have been waiting for something new, I apologize for my absence. For the rest of you, I apologize for my return.

Story behind the song
Once upon a time I had the pleasure of working with a musician that could read my mind. Together we set out to rule the world. Anyone who heard us play would have to agree. But once upon a time's become yesterday's news and the phrase "all good things must come to an end" rings all too true. I don't talk to this person anymore though I sometimes entertain the idea that we will once again have the opportunity to work with each other again. It's hard to give up the dream especially when it falls apart without explanation. This is my last ditch effort at keeping the dream alive...
Lyrics
I'm not here to patronize you, And I'm not here to lay the blame, I have not come here to consol you, But I can't let it end this way, I haven't come here to remind you, Of all the hopes and dreams we've shared, But if the miles stretched out between us, I wonder if you'd notice I'm not there, I cannot stand for this, I cannot sit back and watch as the dream falls apart, Turn my back and walk away, Not after we've come so far, I'm not here to stand beside you, And tell you everything's alright, Nothing worth doing is ever easy, I'm only here to change your mind, (Chorus)
