New song.

'Lost Keys' is the first song with vocals and lyrics from my new album "A Darker, Deeper Alley I". It's genesis is similar to most of the tracks on ADDA I in that it came from a series of other songs produced during writer's block that never really had a chance. I put them through post, the sausage grinder if you will, until they came out as something completely unlike the original. 

Keys is, like many of my other vocal songs, lyrically very simple. To not muddle up this post, I've placed the lyrics here. Sonically, there's a very minimalist and shimmery sort of texture to it. The drums are some of my most simple and, in my humble opinion, most effective. There's a nice stereo quality to the whole piece and my vocals are, very intentionally, somewhat hushed.

I hope you enjoy.



The lyrics are below.

wade into the bog

with me in your arms

carry me high

and dry through the swamps

to the path beyond

where the danger was

to a new home

and a clean start

I know

it won’t get better until I help myself

I know

sometimes I just don’t care enough

set me down if you must

and if I weight too much

you have done enough

just to help me up

I know I ask a lot

what with the things Ive done

I have hurt you again

and again. I know.
