White Lies, from the cabin 🏠 Working on getting the last few songs together for the album, and have been loving having a moment to sit, reflect and play you one of my favourites on guitar like I did back in the day. Feels like creating a relationship with the song and you guys and it’s one of the best parts. Those of you who were quick enough to get tickets for the show in London in a few days, expect more of this kind of vibe. For now, here’s White Lies and it’ll be all yours of March 21st 🤍 #newmusic #fyp #originalmusic
Cooking White Lies in the studio with my buddy Nick Lobel, throwing mad amounts of paint at the wall, here's us at the end of the day listening to it for the first time 😃
I’m not sure when it started but somewhere over the last few blurry years I’ve noticed this little dopamine kick whenever someone would tell me that I’m positive or optimistic. I can only liken it to a dog receiving a treat and a pat on the head. At first, it was simple. I was just stoked. To be honest, I’ve mainly just been stoked since this all kicked off in 2020. I never thought I’d make it here. I’d been running down the dream (just like Tom Petty told me) for 15 years with empty gigs and bank accounts to show for it, so delusion, blind faith and stubborn optimism basically became my emotional megazord. Still, even if it was just on the inside, I was aware that I was crossing a line when I became the dog with the treat. By the grace of God I can hand on heart say that I feel blessed, and if positivity or optimism are getting paid out as compliments they should rightfully go to my parents who raised my sisters and I in a home that knew boundless love, my Grandad, who still joins us around the dinner table today with the same joyous spirit I remember as a kid and my partner, Lois, who reminds me that so long as we have each other, we’ll get through whatever life throws. If there’s to be a golden age for me to look back on when I’m old and gnarled, this will be it. Right now. I think I accidentally broke a golden rule to myself when I got within touching distance of the dream - ‘Don’t sell what you’re trying to promote’. So yeah, my biggest white lie is stamping out all those conflicting emotions that threatened to tear down the one I was seeking validation from. None of us are one thing. We don’t have to fit in a box, no matter how kindly we’ve been placed in it. We all have our darkness and dragons to slay and so I call out those closest to me to say thank you for gently helping me back on my path over the last year and for giving me the spiritual armament to face mine. Peace, love ya #newmusic #fyp #originalmusic
