This song releases on Feb 14. (Yeah, I know... I can't seem to shake holiday themes once they take hold!) But like most of my stuff... this isn’t a typical love song. It’s about staying when memory fades and the relationship rewrites itself day by day.
Close Your Eyes is about rest as strength. It’s for anyone who ran hard, pushed long, and forgot to pause. The song holds space for slowing down, telling the truth about being tired, and choosing presence over pressure. Closing your eyes isn’t quitting. It’s how you recover and keep going.
What if the most meaningful holiday gift this year is time, not things? That question became the seed of a new song I wrote called “Something New (This Christmas).” A simple moment on a train turned into a reflection on presence, connection, and how we choose to spend our attention.
Three hard truths sit at the heart of Soft Machine. Gratitude that starts within. Rituals born from storms. Love that feels uneasy but honest. A Thanksgiving reflection for anyone learning to thank themselves.
As a thank you to subscribing to my free newsletter please enjoy these early releases!
Shadow & Sol began as my songwriting sandbox. Soon it will rise again, an epic of sound and story where wild minds find themselves in the wild sea.
We think more time will save us, but it often steals the spark. Here’s why slowing down may be the most productive thing you do today.
We’ve entered the Conversational Era, where how we talk shapes what gets built. With AI, with each other, and within ourselves. Wild minds like mine were never made for memorization but for dialogue, pattern, and curiosity. Now AI finally keeps pace, helping turn chaos into clarity.
What if you could rewrite the rules for the ones you’ve lost? I tried... and it became a song. Now I want to hear yours.
Hyperfocus can feel like a superpower and a trap. In Curiosity After Hours, I reflect on how giving my focus boundaries and space transformed my nights and weekends from burnout recovery time into a rhythm for creativity, curiosity, and real rest.
Day two after launch. Gratitude, reflection, and a reminder that these songs were never just mine... they were always meant to meet you.
I used to think purpose was something I had to chase down. Turns out, it shows up when I stop running and start shaping who I am through what I do.
