An attempt at 'rap and roll' kind of thing, certainly wouldn't call it hip hop, just all around nifty. (note: all my songs have been having some static problems and i have no idea why, I keep the levels well below red, it just shows up on CD anyway.
Rock and Roll music that bridges the gap between old and new in a way that is true to form, but breaks boundaries.
I have been described as a mix between Prince, The Beatles, and Lenny Kravits. But if you ask me, I'm not really like anything, sometimes I'm silly, sometimes I rock hard, sometimes I write love songs. I used to think I had it all figured out, I know now I was wrong. But I will say that my music excites me more than anything else in my life, so just maybe it will excite you as well.

Story behind the song
Take one look at the first line and just guess where I was when I wrote this one...
Lyrics
When I'm locked up and feeling down, And there's just no sign of hope around, Cause the man's oppressed me in my very soul, I don't cry and I don't frown, I just play those old familiar sounds, And I'm alright, I find strength in rock and roll, Cause I'm lifted up from my seat, And I'm dancing to that crazy beat, As my body moves in ways I can't control, Then I throw my hands into the sky, And a newfound joy erupts inside and I scream! Thank God for rock and roll! Cause when you find yourself hung on that pole to dry, And it starts to take it's toll just sigh, And thank God for rock and roll! When you feel like a fish trapped in a bowl to stay, And you don't know where to go press play, And thank God for rock and roll! Hallelujah Now over the years the sound of rock has changed, And it hasn't been all good, it's strange, How the roots can slip away, From the drags of life instead of helping us forget, It's become a sad excuse to dwell on it, Like taking demotivation 101, Now I'm all for expressing how you feel, Just as long as that expression's real, But to scream in pain is not the only way! Cause our rock and roll fathers had themselves a dream, That this music was a means to leave this world of pain and have some fun!
