The ones that hold me up
Pillar Songs
Of everything I’ve made, these are the songs I resonate with most strongly. Not the singles, not the hits — the pillars. The ones the rest leans on.
MachineA seminal and quintessential Chad Lewine song. My entire thesis, lifestyle, mission and purpose in one song. Enter →Finding FreedomThis is a special song. Not only because it's one of my best DIY productions, but because it's an enduring pillar of my overall mission to help humanity break free from the oppression and indoctrination we have been living under for millennia.Enter →Johnny BoyThis song is about Earth; Gaia. Replace Johnny with Gaia and you have the meaning of the song. Enter →Drawn TogetherAnother song I wrote in an attempt to manifest a lover, one of my favorite songs! A prime example of how I like to use EDM-flavored trap drums.Enter →Can't Stop Us NowAnother one of my favorite Chad songs ever. This song always gets me pumped up to do my best in whatever I'm doing.Enter →BounceOne of my favorite Chad songs. This really got the crowd moving at a Rock Den open mic, so it became a set list staple.Enter →Freedom RingI wrote this song about Trump's first term in office, but even back then, I was careful not to point fingers; we are a nation that must come together if we are going to survive intact.Enter →Higher GroundThis is my way of saying enough is enough. We've been down this road of darkness and destruction before. It's time for a different road of collective healing and positive change. It's also one of my best DIY productions!Enter →MurphyMurphy was my goldfish. I had him for 6+ years! My first boyfriend and I rescued him from being eaten by a fraternity brother on drunken dare. Murphy relocated with me close to ten times!Enter →Fog MachineAmazing beat, amazing synth sounds and amazing guitar from a guitarist I met online in 2013, long before virtual collaboration was the norm.Enter →FlipsideA deep cut that I cherish. The message of the song is reflected in the production itself when the beat switches up throughout the song. Try to keep up!Enter →LightbodyI wrote this as a mashup of metaphysical meaning (lightbody) and finding a partner who understands what they even means. Enter →Everything I NeedI was trying to recognize what I had in the midst of my first taste of real food and housing insecurity in Brooklyn.Enter →We're HereEnter →Branching OutI love the message of this song. It's what my whole life has been up to this point: a series of constant change and outgrowing people and places.Enter →
