Bio

I am an American who spent 7 years in London playing the drums in a pop/rock band call The Tide. Although we had some minor successes we never were able to land the ever elusive record deal. I came back to the US a much better musician and an inspired songwriter which lead to “HOME” as one of my personal favorites.

Lyrics

(Verse)
She said goodbye on a Tuesday
From there I think was over
She said one as I walked out the door
I’m sure glad you were my lover

The winter shed it’s curse upon the leaves
And now we see the city through the trees

(Chorus)
And I want too go home
Yes I want too go home

(Verse 2)
Some times I feel it’s all too much
What we say and who we do and such
And I can’t be bothered no more
Keepin score

And now I throw my keys upon the table
But there’s no one there to hear the sound

(Chorus)
I want to go Home
Yes i want too go home

(Bridge)
You got me fearin and doubt
Is rearing it’s ugly head

Sorry for doubting the screams and the shouting
And the things I wish I’d said

(Chorus)
And I’m all oh I’m all ready home
Yes I’m all ready Home
Oh I’m all ready Home
Yes I’m already Home

Outro
“Hooos”
