Thank you to Arella and Crittie (collector of my previous Catalog track, ‘Strut’) for curating the song and artwork for this release! 

When Arella picked this song, I was kinda surprised because it was one of the demos I had spent the least amount of time writing/mixing. It was created during a weekly songwriting challenge and the theme of that week was ‘Sleepless’. 

Ironically enough, I had a rough week and didn’t make any time to work on the track. The night it was due at 4 a.m, I slapped a basic chord progression and drum pattern together and improv’d most of the lyrics. Then played a quick sax solo and submitted just in time. 

I have touched it up quite a bit since the OG version and really enjoy how it came together. 

The themes of the song are about dealing with procrastination and finding inner motivation to create.  This is something that I struggle with quite a bit, and hope you can find pieces that resonate with your journey. 

This track, like the previous song, Strut, will only exist on-chain. Owner of this NFT will get access to future presales, collectors chat (once I get it setup) and can decide which song I upload to Catalog next!

I appreciate you reading and listening!! 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Look where we find ourselves again
Procrastinate the day away
What's left?
How many times am I gonna forgive myself
Before I realize something has to give

Scrolling through all the infinite possibilities round in my head
Any choice I make, not sure if it’ll be the right one
Will I fuck it up again
On this sleepless night
Another sleepless night
Another sleepless night

I have the chance
With this empty paper in front of me
To create something beautiful
A true piece of art
What will I do with this opportunity
Take it or leave it
What to do?
What to do?

Scrolling through all the infinite possibilities round in my head
Any choice I make, not sure if it’ll be the right one
Will I fuck it up again
On this sleepless night
Another sleepless night
Another sleepless night

Sleepless Night

Toha

Ochikiwa translates as "come from there; be descended from _" in my tribe's language, Sauk. When I wrote this song I had a lot on my heart about the language and the responsibility I have to help preserve my heritage and environment. When coming up with the title I felt deeply all the challenges my ancestors faced, the choices they had to make to survive and pass on their knowledge. As an artist I've always been inspired by stories of revolution, defending our land/water, and reclaiming sovereignty as people. I believe that returning Land back to Native and Indigenous tribes is a key factor in solving our ecological crisis. Decolonization is the next step in our evolution and returning land rights to tribes will usher in a new era of ecological restoration. One led by ancestral knowledge and facilitated by methods that can truly bring humans and nature back in harmony.  A portion of the funds received will be donated to NDN Collective, which aims to build the collective power of Indigenous Peoples, communities, and Nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination, while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and the planet.

By holding this NFT you will also get access to any future shows I play. You will also be airdropped unique NFTs in the future alongside other supporters.

~~~

The cock crows at dawn
but one cock alone doesn't summon the sun

Some still maintain
that Orféu sings the sun up each day

Yes, in the throes
of Carnaval's close, it seems to be true

But one rooster's crow
is a pale echo

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Dream wine- and moonlight-infused
Orféu conjures his momma, the muse

One cock alone,
crying out in the night, bewitching the stones

Still sad and beautiful

~

Ya gotta pay the piper
If ya wanna call the tune

Even that cock was an egg
Laid last June

Even if he had
the strength of ten

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Fountains are weeping
As he goes on seeking the Fountain of Youth

And every other Muse
Echoes

This track marks the beginning of my creative journey as an artist.
Finding joy in making music has been like discovering an oasis in a troubled world.

Drive! is the 4th single off of my upcoming EP "Cold River". 

I made this song in a time where I was revisiting the dark side of my addictions. Being able to listen back and find peace/clarity in this track is a beautiful space to be in. I put a lot of emotion and energy into this one so I'm excited for you guys to hear it!

Drive!

The result of my fast production experiment.
It took 2 days, for me it's a good result !
Previously, I could spend more than one month on one track....This is madness!

I want to mark a turning point in my productivity with that music !
