I've been playing music since I was 9 years old in 1988. I took piano lessons for 5 years. I played some cello and piano in school orchestra, but I eventually found the instrument for me when I got a guitar in 1995. I've played music in a couple of bands and jammed with countless friends, but this site is to showcase my solo music as I record it on my computer.

Lyrics

This is a song, it won't take too long.
I'll get right to the point - 
I was walking along and I saw
the most wonderful
creature I've seen.
You know what I mean?
Well, I think that you do.
You've been down at the end of the line
when they throw you the bait
and you swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Not that you've swallowed truth
it gets through to you -
you've been named Lunch.
When there's nothing left
take one final breathe.
One to live and two to call it a day.

This is a dream - or that's how it seems.
I can't feel the tips of my fingers -
they're all hard as a fin,
and they're calloused from being 
as mad as an eel.
Happy as a clam - that's what I am.
I'm on to you now - 
I can smell your disease
and I need you to see;
there's not point to loving half
of a man, you know.

Now that the record is straight
and I'm free of bait let's get it on.
Right before turning in
I breathe free again.
Once to live and twice to call it a day.

There's plenty of fish in the sea.
There's just none of them swimming to me.
I'll remember this day and the one that got away.

This is the plan:
I'll wade like a man until
passing me by is some mystery pike
and I'll call out a name
that distorts on the waves
and comes out all wrong.

Then she swims up to you 
from the deeper blue.
What to do now?
When you see those eyes 
let out bubbly sighs.
One to live and two to fall in love.

There's plenty of fish in the sea
and now one of them is swimming to me.
I'll remember this day
and then one that swam my way.
