If you’re here just for the special bonus, scroll down to the last section — but I think you’ll want to stick around for these two brand-new tracks from my next album.
After my debut album — a 16-song collection of fully produced studio tracks — I’m excited to share two new songs that will be part of my upcoming 2nd album release. Like all my studio versions, both are built from original pieces I’ve written before, but this time they’ve been reimagined with more technical elements, including enhanced production layers and a touch more electronic texture to expand their sound.
Glass on Film
This song is being left open to interpretation, though it carries lines that could be read as a nod to persevering through difficult times. It’s layered, dynamic, and one of my favorites from this new chapter in my music.
Lyrics:
the road is marked with nothing like and empty sand of rain
aint not water rock or glass nor fame
the road is marked with nothing like and empty sand of rain
aint not water rock or glass nor fame
Then you get a bit of rain outside
something saying dont demise
Like a piece of glass on film but not
Just saying, when nothing’s left to go,
you ought to ought to know,
it aint always so
Just when there’s nothing left to be
it’s closing time to see
where to go
instrumental
Just saying, when nothing’s left to go,
you ought to ought to know,
it aint always so
Just when there’s nothing left to be
it’s closing time to see
where to go
Time and Day
Also left up to interpretation, Time and Day carries a reflective, almost cyclical structure in its lyrics. Like Glass on Film, it’s adapted from one of my original works but now comes alive with more intricate arrangement and subtle electronic elements that expand its atmosphere.
Lyrics:
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
then you find the road outside
of the lines that make the night
then you find the road outside
of the lines that make the night
then you realize nothing matters
then you realize nothing matters
then you realize nothing matters
then you realize nothing matters
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
the future lays time and day
The Special Bonus: Martial Flaw
This is something different — a song I wrote around four months ago, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy had enacted martial law to maintain his office in Ukraine. The guitar portion was composed back then, but the lyrics came later. The track is a critique of using martial law as a political tool to manipulate an election — something I don’t believe the world should stand for. Nearly every nation upholds its constitution as the framework for leadership, and breaking that principle undermines trust and governance.
Coincidentally, the timing of this release aligns with the same week Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. for extra security. While that’s clearly not the same as exceeding term limits, it does serve as a reminder that leaders everywhere should resist overstepping constitutional boundaries.
Lyrics:
Uk of rain, nothing but the stain, like a bit shame
Your tick of tame, not to speak of pain, nothing but the frame
like the pic of do, nothing but your lieu, sitting in the off
on of what to tice, nothing but your lice sitting with a splice
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Crane like a bird, nought but a word sitting of the U
wings like duck quacking not of luck peking like the stew
crossing faulty lines, flipping with the crimes, breaking term with times
moving to your back, watching what you lack, better hear you quack
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
Martial Flawwwwwwwwwwwww,awwwwwww,awwwwwww
If you’ve been following my music, these tracks represent the ongoing evolution of my sound — rooted in my original writing, now taken further with thoughtful production and experimental layers. Glass on Film and Time and Day will be part of my upcoming 2nd album, while Martial Flaw stands as a timely commentary piece.
