Brilliance 04:13
Ignorance gives way to lies Those words, they tore me up inside Who knew that he could be so fragile It's all a mess of shattered dreams I live the novel's recurring themes As bombs tick away all the while But through it all your warmth is in the air Pale blue and amber gold, I feel you there And in a sudden flash of brilliance You are all I see Oh, how I long for forgiveness Is it true that I could be free? I seek redemption in my own eyes I've fallen for blessings in disguise But still, I find it all worthwhile To try my luck and try again Convey the message I'm trying to send All just so I can see you smile Poison turns to medicine It traces where I am, as well as where I've been And throughout all the mayhem and the din You can't always act so masculine Cause in a sudden flash of brilliance You are all around I leave behind all my diligence Sink into your arms without a sound Ignorance gives way to lies Through it all In a sudden flash of brilliance You are all there is

Right Here 02:43
With you I can't explain myself But I won't settle for anyone else You're perfect, as far as I can tell And well I wanna take you out some place Get to know the man behind the face Have your arms around my waist As time slips by without a trace Wanna walk with you and hold your hand Take me out to see your favorite band With you I let myself expand To let in all that I once banned So why should we go anywhere When everything we need is right here? Laughter and a hand to hold when scared Forget about your worries and your fear And tell me about your childhood, your music and your loves I wanna hear about the things that you dream of Cause the sun is sinking through the trees And our footsteps fall in line with ease And words keep flowing fast and free So spend a bit more time with me Cause I like your mannerisms I like the way you smile And soon we'll be distanced By miles and miles and miles and miles So let's just ride this feeling It'll all be over soon But I can't let you get away before I know you I hope that you don't judge me if I act a little strange I can't exactly justify why I say the things I say But why should we go anywhere When everything we need is right here? I just wanna know you I just wanna know you, my dear

Snow 02:19
Don't act like you don't know me Don't act like you don't care I've lost all the friction I once had I slip and slide as you walk by The wind was howling around us Underneath the moon And from the crook of my arm I watch you watching me Don't fall asleep Don't you dare leave Just stay here with me I turn and watch you go With the burden of what we both know I'll wrap my aching summer night in snow By break of dawn You're going gone

Bluebird 03:04
Oh, little bluebird Won't you sing a little more? A pretty tune I can't ignore? Cause I've found I'm lost without you Trapped in games of war I revel in your sickness And I drown you in wine And while you weep, I insist That everything is fine And when the sunlight fades away There's nothing left to keep the dark at bay And as you cross my mind I wish you'd rest, or stay confined But you flit and flutter, you never stutter or stop to soak up time No trace of any kind I know the leaves have fallen And that crunch on the ground hurts your ears I know the winds are howling And they smother the song you want me to hear But won't you stay a little while? I swear I'll make it worth your while Just hunker down a few more miles And crack a smile, little bluebird Crack a smile

about

Snow is my first EP. These four songs were written over the past three years, inspired by literature and personal experience. They were recorded, mixed and mastered over the past nine months at Williams College and in Los Angeles.

I owe a huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Nathan Miller, who encouraged me to record these songs and without whom none of this would be possible.

Proceeds go to my gap year fund, during which I'll be conducting prostate cancer and auditory neuroscience research (and gigging). Any amount is appreciated.

The album art is a mixed media piece by Alyson Vega. More of her artwork can be found here: www.fountaingallerynyc.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=540. Thanks to Kirk Pearson for helping resize stuff.

I hope y'all enjoy listening to this music as much as I've enjoyed making it!
