about
Don't you love it when good things just kind of happen?

Last Sunday I went over to former bandmate Vijal Patel's studio intending to do a little "space noodling" before the Grammy Awards aired.

We space noodled alright. But then we cut this 5 song demo of my very new songs with just vocals, guitar and harmonica. All for the price of a pack of Marlboro Lights.

So now we have "5 ACOUSTIC" to serve as a quick preview of these newborn melodies and lyrics.

Thanks for listening.

Track Name: See Your Dreams
You've got a way
Of saying all of the things you don't want to say
I'm here to stay
But I won't wait around for another day
Til I hear you say

I can see your dreams
Float across the sky
Dancing with my love
Lighting up your eye
If one day you awake
To say "I don't understand"
I will see my dreams
Slipping through your hands

Oh, Oh, Oooh, Oh (4x)

I've got a way
Of holding on to the things I should put away
You're here to stay
But you won't wait around for another day
Til you hear me say

I can see your dreams
Float across the sky
Dancing with my love
Lighting up your eye
If one day you awake
To say "I don't understand"
I will see my dreams
Slipping through your hands

Oh, Oh, Oooh, Oh (8x)

I can see your dreams
Float across the sky
Dancing with my love
Lighting up your eye

Track Name: Only Angels
Have I been looking at this one way?
Have I been seeing nothing new?
Is every angle, every dimension
Every world out of view?

Oh you, you showed me
You said: hey, why don't we
Shine a loving light
On the demons inbetween
They're only angels
Only angels
They're only angels
You've never seen

Now could these nightmares I've been fighting
Really be a dream come true?
The other side is so hard to see now
With a little light we'll make it through

Oh you, you showed me
You said: hey, why don't we?
Shine a loving light
On the demons inbetween
They're only angels
Only angels
They're only angels
You've never seen

Oh you, you saved me
You said: hey, why don't we
Shine a loving light
On the demons inbetween
They're only angels
Only angels
They're only angels
Only angels
They're only angels
You've never seen

Have I been looking at this one way?
Have I been seeing nothing new?

Track Name: Blue Light (Now I See What I've Been Missing)
What we build in the sunlight
We can't see in the moonlight
What we dream in the moonlight
We can't see in the sunlight

Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Seeing through your eyes

Now I see twilight is dawning
And the evening is morning
I hear the laughter when you're crying
I feel the living when I'm dying

Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Seeing through your eyes

Blue light shot through night
Breaking color out of black and white

Blue light shot through night
Breaking color out of black and white

Blue light shot through night
Breaking color out of black and white
Breaking color out of black and white
Breaking color out of black and white

Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Now I see what I've been missing
Seeing through your eyes

Track Name: Ready To Listen
Those who are ready to listen
Will hear
Those who are ready to listen
Will hear

So lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
And get off the rollercoaster
Right here

Those who are ready to look
Will see
Those who are ready to look
Will see

So lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
And get off the rollercoaster
Right here

Those who are ready to stand
Will rise
Those who are ready to stand
Will rise

So lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
lean in a little closer
And get off the rollercoaster
Right here
Right here

Those who are ready to listen
Will hear
Those who are ready to listen
Will hear

Track Name: Once & Future Love
I didn't come to fight
I didn't come to get uptight
Didn't come to whine and moan
I can do that on my own

Are there magic words that I could say?
Or would they just get in the way?

I've come to give you my
Once and Future
Once and Future
Once and Future
Love

I didn't come to cheat
Didn't come to make you incomplete
Didn't come to tell no lies
See the truth is right here in my eyes

Are there magic words that I could say?
Or would they just get in the way?

I've come to give you my
Once and Future
Once and Future
Once and Future
Love

Don't know how it will unfold
Just know your love is gold
Gold

Now if you must go
You'll still be with me here inside my soul
I know we'll meet again my friend
Across the universe and back again

Are there magic words that you could say?
Or would they just get in the way?

I've come to give you my
Once and Future
Once and Future
Once and Future
Love

So come on and give me your
Once and Future
Once and Future
Once and Future
Love

Come on and give me your
Once and Future
Once and Future
Once and Future
Love
