Lyric Video: "Help Me I'm Blind"

"Radioactive"

Song - "Set Me Free"

  

This is and original song that I found back in the archives. It is a song that describes my return to my faith, and stepping back into a church for the first time. I was ashamed but knew I had nowhere else to go. I knew at that point that if I continued to live a life of mere pleasure I would only die.

“Set Me Free”

Here I walk this lonely road
Looking for hope to shed this pain
All the anger and desperation
Make me a prisoner who's locked and chained
But I trod and I believe
That there is something that will set me free
I heard the call so I go
I wanted bad so much I will bleed

Set me free set me free
I want to love I want to see
Set me free set me free
This world’s too cold and I want to breathe

I heard them bills they were calling me
I began to shake would they let me in
Through the door so anxiously
I sat down I could only breathe
They are he was up on that cross
Full of pain just like me
So they spoke and then they sang
About his love and it could set me free

Set me free set me free
I want to love I want to see
Set me free set me free
This world’s too cold and I want to breathe

I don't deserve you
All the pain that I've put him through
Oh I weep as I kneel in pain
Forgive Ness it has set me free

Set me free set me free
I want to love I want to see
Set me free set me free
This world’s too cold and I want to breathe

So I stand walk out the door
With his fire deep inside
I'm still a man but now I'm free

He's by my side please don't leave me

Set me free set me free
I want to love I want to see
Set me free set me free
This world’s too cold and I want to breathe
Set me free

Messing in the Studio: "Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish

Sometimes nothing cures a broken heart like a great love song. I remember when I was in college there was this girl that took my breath away. I thought she was the coolest woman I had ever met. We had a sweet but short romance and she crushed my heart pretty good. Messing around in the studio writing and coming up with treatments and ideas I decided to sit down and have a go at this song. Cover songs were never my thing but I always thought that if I ever did a cover song that this is one that I would enjoy trying to play. I am no Darius Rucker. He is him and I am me, but it was fun trying this song out and remembering some of the good and bad times of love.

Coldplay, Clocks and Me

It can be funny what songs jump out me sometimes. I remember in my days living the bohemian lifestyle I didn't have TV and because I was a full-blown Metalhead I knew very little of  Pop music of the time. I was visiting my parents home once and on the TV (they had cable) came this hypnotic music. It was rare that I fancied piano music but this is song was more than that. I was one of millions that was ensnared by the music and poetry of Coldplay. I could never sing as high or as beautiful as him but in the studio writing I started messing around with this song. They are them and I am me.

Everly Brothers "Cathy's Clown" the Song

One of my earliest memories is listening to the radio in the car with my father. This amazing song came on. Like many that love the Everly Brothers I was hooked on their beautiful vocal melodies. Years later I was surfing the net and came across a video of them performing the song "Cathy's Clown". Immediately my son jumped up in my lap and started swaying along, and here a boy barely 3 falls in love with a great song. I've been in my home studio lately working on material and this time around I have been playing cover songs to keep things fresh and fun. Here is my cover of "Cathy's Clown", while I don't sing as high or beautiful I had fun nonethelessless playing this song.

Knocking on Heavens Door

Been gearing up to start writing a new album. In the past I have always done guitar heavy Alt Rock. This time around I thought I would do an Acoustic album with just my guitar and my voice, so to prep I thought I would do something that I have never done before and try playing covers.
