Softest Ground 04:17
lyrics
When I look ahead When I turn around This whole house of cards Is coming down, coming down How do I dream without a surrender? When all I see is closing doors? My life raft is taking on water Looking around and around for the shore How do I dream without a surrender? When all I see is closing doors? My life raft is taking on water And its going down I need to bury these dreams Down in the softest ground I am what I will be

Water Born 05:36
lyrics
Waking up To this familiar sound To water in my ears And it’s all around, all around Pull yourself up It’s that or drown It’s every single day Learning all the lessons I forgot again But I’ve been in my head Been too afraid, I’ve been dancing in the dark ‘Cause in my world, it’s just swimming with the sharks Why don’t you wind up Why do you stand and take a swing, at me Twisting and turning Bleeding dry As the sun is returning to the sky And it begins again Then I’m my head I’m too afraid, now I’m dancing in the dark And in my world, I’m just swimming with the sharks Why don’t you wind up Why do you stand and take a swing, at me Why don’t you fuck it up, and push the air around And let’s see Why don’t you wind up How will I wind up

Gold Hall 06:00
lyrics
I want to see Something that you’ve never seen Seeing it with only me I want to be Somewhere that you haven’t been I want all your memories All the things that aren’t for me I want all the history Always trapped in fantasy Wanting all the lips on me Ending of the mystery Its burrows out a part of me This terrifying jealousy All it ever does is take It’s all it ever wants from me It’s all it ever wants to do It’s all it ever wants to do It’s all it ever wants to do It’s all it ever wants to do I thought I saw Golden halls But then I fall Fall Sometimes I crawl Lost I’m walking off Loved

Two Beautiful Eternities 04:05

about

Recent music from Trent Reznor, Thom Yorke, Jon Hopkins, and Jack Garratt inspired me to transform my piano-driven compositions and find new ways of exploring my love of progressive, introspective music. The journey to create 'Just As Everything Fades' started four years ago in Toronto. Countless hours spent improvising, programming, resampling, and reversing resulted in selecting these four songs, chosen to give voice to common struggles, and to use music to transmute negative thoughts into something beautiful.

Like it does for so many of us, music helps me cope with life. My motivation when creating music is to honour the mysterious wellspring from which musical ideas flow, in the hopes that it will never run dry. I look forward to sharing new music here, to new collaborations, and to seeing where it all leads.
