52 Hz 04:17
52Hz is the frequency of my song Yeah, when what really hurts Is that nobody sings along The loneliest whale My migration, it takes me far My sonic signature differs But still I vocalize it deep into the depths And maybe, I just gotta go it alone this time It turns out I dwell deep in the blue, who knew? Families of fish they swim past with purpose (porpoise?) But still I flounder down to lie on the ocean floor Yeah maybe if I just keep sending out these signals Some ears will welcome them in Yeah maybe if I can summon all the courage in me The courage to be light-hearted Yeah maybe The loneliest whale My migration, it takes me far My sonic signature differs But still I vocalize it deep into the depths So maybe if I just keep sending out these signals Some ears will welcome them in Yeah maybe if I can summon all the courage in me The courage to be light-hearted Yeah maybe

You were never mine, but yeah I was yours I still am I think about you all the time About how life could be so sweet Like on Instagram I think it’s you I’ve been looking for But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see because… I think it’s you I’ve been looking for But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see because… You were never mine But that didn’t stop me from this fantasy And I play it out still now I think about you all the time About your tendencies How you laugh with me How you try to understand I think it’s you I’ve been looking for But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see because… I think it’s you I’ve been looking for But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see because… I think it’s you I’ve been looking for But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see… You were never mine But will you share this dream with me? We’ll see… Will you share this dream with me?

You Forgot 02:50
Left the hot water on The air’s on, but the door’s ajar The jam jar lid untightened The clothes have gone unwashed You forgot, I forgot You forgot, I forgot You forgot, I forgot The everyday trangressions Said you’d sew it up for me Sew what? Said you’d make it up to me So what happened to that?
Good intentions The doctors say your heart’s in the right place And I say… You forgot, I forgot You forgot, I forgot You forgot, I forgot The everyday trangressions You forgot, I forgot

Head’s on the window sill The passersby smile as I return my gaze Confident Curled up by the fire still The lights warmly fade in fade out In nostalgic reverie Knee deep It’s just a feeling Come lean up to me now I’ll beg I’ll wag my tail for you Lean up to me now I’ll fetch I’ll have the scraps for you Lean up to me now I’ll beg I’ll wag my tail for you For you, for you Pre-dawn post-storm Hands on the wheel until The passengers cry as I avert my gaze Crumbling And I strive to find the will The signal flashing It of doubt A crippling anxiety heap Can’t shake the feeling Come lean up to me now I’ll beg I’ll wag my tail for you Lean up to me now I’ll fetch I’ll have the scraps for you Lean up to me now I’ll beg I’ll wag my tail for you For you, for you

Lovable, gullible eyes Wide Outstretched arms Sure and as pure as sunlight A sunny day bike ride Riding far away from the strife Of those trying times The words that leave her mouth Are the medicine I needed all this time And certainly with doubt I push and see For the end So cuddleable The grump in me dies With soft, etched charms That shine and sparkle at night On rainy days she still smiles Penetrating my chest My best is left a puddle on the floor What’s more is… The words that leave her mouth Are the medicine I needed all this time And certainly with doubt I push and see For the end

Future comets tickle my tear ducts Future comets tickle my tear ducts Poke the bear Stoke the fire Break the fishbowl Future comets tickle my tear ducts Future comets tickle my tear ducts Poke the bear Stoke the fire Break the fishbowl Future comets tickle my tear ducts And the rain comes down
And the rain comes down

This is a lullaby For the sad and the blue That’s where I do my thing This is a lullaby For the sad and blue In the park that’s where they drop off And go to sleep This is pregnant sigh From the sad and the blue The path ahead is littered Littered with hidden mines for me and you And the birds sing where the flowers open wide And the bees come and pollenate our lives A soft breeze blows That’s where we’ll drop off And go to sleep With no need for counting sheep

about

This is a very personal record for me. These songs look at longing, anxiety, and depression and a striving to overcome these 'blue' feelings. They're about finding hope and summoning the courage within oneself to not take things so seriously all the time. Some of these songs have a collage-like quality to them, which to me is suggestive of the inner voices of anxiety and self-conscious clutter.

Above all, these songs I've spent so much time with over the past few years are full of love and appreciation. They wouldn't be what they are without the musical (& otherwise supportive) contributions of friends and family.

My wholehearted thanks go to Nathan, Ryan, Sean, Claryssa, Enis, Dad, and everyone else who has lent their ears!
