My latest song “Saturday Train” officially released on Youtube.com today. It will be on the streaming sites in the next day or so.

This song has been in the works for quite some time, but I finally sat down and wrote it out at the end of 2020. It encompassed a lot of things personally. A Saturday train can be anyone’s commute to work, or life’s drudgery. It’s that time you have to think about where you are in life, and where you wanted to be. Where did you go right and where did you go wrong. What makes you happy and what made you sad.

The video was made using old and new video clips, old doodles and letters from when I was younger. I did my best Ken Burns homage with those photos and letters.

I just wrote a new song last week and have been working on getting the finishing touches put on it. It came together pretty quick but I really like it a lot. I hope to have it out soon. Hopefully before 2022 but who knows. I’m always changing something up. Just trying not to mess it up. I don’t like fully sanitized songs so if there are some mistakes in there, I’m OK with that. It adds character to the song. I just want to make sure it flows good in my head. I hope you enjoy it when it does get released. I play it on the guitar in the picture above. I call this guitar “Skinny”. Its not much to look at, but I love the way it sounds and projects. There is something special in the way it vibrates when I play it. It’s a keeper for sure. When you see the guitar as a whole, you’ll know why its named Skinny. It is one of a kind.

Gonna be putting out a bit of a teaser soon. This is the teaser of the teaser. Sick, I know! What’s wrong with me? 😉 Keep checking in for more.

Nothing but some old art I drew, that I call ‘Anguish Fire’.
