Eclectic, but mostly acoustic. Mostly moody, guitar-driven, alternative pop-rock

Let's face it folks. I'm not going to be updating this much. My primary focus right now is my band Djatmaterra, and I won't be recording much new for my own site. However, you can find our songs at and These sources will likely be updated quite a bit more often. Thanks for listening! --- I'll try to keep the mix of tracks on here eclectic. I've dabbled in a bunch of different styles over the years, and i think my songwriting reflects that. So here are a bunch of tracks written and recorded at various times in my music carreer. Enjoy.

Story behind the song

I wrote the lyrics to this song when I was at work one day on break.  I was feeling rather disillusioned with the whole job scene and in one of those "what's it all for?" moods.
The music evolved to fit the lyrics, more or less.  When we wrote as a band (our tentative name was Velvet Hammer), it was mostly jam oriented, so the chord progressions, guitar parts, and vocal harmonies came mostly from that.  It was a fun song to play too...I was always so excited by the concept of a 21 beat repetition (7 bars of 3).  I love stuff like that.

Lyrics

drowning in a sea of happiness
my sorrow knows no bounds
searching through a haze of answers
a question can't be found

i know it's there
but i don't know where
and i'm getting tired

sitting on an expanse of nothing
the silence threatens to deafen me
as i fall straight upward
gropign around for heaven

i know it's there
but i don't know where
and i'm getting tired of all this shit
the words that people frame
as if they know the answers to
the question without a name

stuck at a fork in the dead of night
completely lost but i think i might
find my way in a haze of answers
i might make something from nothing

i know it's there
but i don't know where
and i'm getting tired of all this shit
the games that people play
as if they know the answers to
the question without a name

i can't find my way home
please help me find my way home
