Johnny Boy

Johnny Boy

A song praising someone named Johnny for all they do that goes unnoticed by others.

This song is about Earth; Gaia. Replace Johnny with Gaia and you have the meaning of the song.

Don't hurt no more, Johnny boy Johnny boy, hello, hello, hello, I need you Don't hurt no more, Johnny boy Johnny boy, hello, hello, hello, I need you

Choose Lit

Choose Lit

Snapshot of a person's regular substance use/abuse summed up in a simple question: if we know it is wrong, why don't we stop?

Substance and alcohol use and abuse are more than modern science, academia and medicine want us to believe. Addiction is real, but no one is an addict for life. The system just slaps you with a label for life. That doesn't heal. I hope this song can at least spark a conversation that can.

Choose lit, yeah we all choose lit Choose lit, why we all choose it? Choose lit, yeah we all choose lit You say it ain't right, but we all choose it

Turn The Mill

Turn The Mill

Refusal anthem against an extractive dynamic — the narrator recognizes the demand for blood, names the pattern, and chooses self-preservation over compliance, escalating from refusal to burning the mill down.

The mill is both the 40 hour work week institution AND tech companies using our personal data at our expense; to keep us on the treadmill of consumption.

I won't fight or freeze or foot the bill I won't turn the mill No I won't, I won't turn the mill (I won't be turning it) I'll run, I'll hide I'll fly until The wood cracks and water spills (Let the water spill now) I won't turn the mill

Don't Blame Me

Don't Blame Me

"Don't shoot the messenger" in song form. A song for the whistle blowers, caller-outers, and loud mouths that speak the hard truth.

I wrote this as a response to people on social media getting mad at me for pointing out harsh, deep or uncomfortable truths about society.

Don't blame the ocean for the salt Don't blame the summer for the heat Don't blame, don't blame me Don't blame, don't blame me

Renegade

HYPERISING

Rapid fire indictments of toxic political, cultural and societal norms wrapped in a self-labeled-outlaw motif about holding a perspective different than most.

My most viral song ever—and my last viral song ever. This song was yet another reaction to trolls who did not know who I was or what I was all about. Although ego-based and hyperbolic, most of the metaphors ring true.

I’m a renegade, I’m a real renegade, everybody going left, go another way I’m a real renegade, I’ma hook that, push that ‘til it break I’m a renegade, I’m a real renegade, everybody going right, doin’ what they say I’m a real renegade, I’m a rook that moved diagonally

All I Wanna Do

HYPERISING

A song commenting on the degradation and corruption of the lyrics and messaging of modern popular music.

I originally thought everyone would understand that this was, in effect, a satirical commentary, almost parody of modern pop music, but because no one on social media really knew who I was yet, they thought I was being serious. Meh.

All I wanna do, all I wanna do, all I wanna, all I wanna do, all I wanna do Meet with you, back seat with you, freak with you and cheat with you

Become a patron

One time or monthly, cancel anytime.

Patronage is the act or state of directly contributing to an artist’s livelihood.

Before streaming, labels, and the capitalization of art, the work got made because patrons believed it should exist. There are no perks and no tiers here. You are giving because you believe in me, my vision and my mission.
