The daylight shows me structures of glass and steel With giant names, bland colors, and nothing to feel At daytime it's clear to see The city feeds on busy feet I await the time when the night rears her head Daytime people moving at the speed of sound Tourists, loud cars, shopping malls all around But hours and hours go by Until the clouds separate in the sky And the lights are here and they're taking over me The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are looking down at me The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are hovering over me The buildings' lights shine brighter than stars from space And giant billboards' lights glare with style and grace From a distance or far away You can tell when they come out to play The skylights in the city of the world The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are looking down at me The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are hovering over me It's the nighttime that I'm destined to see The lights shine bright red, blue, and green And when the night falls they call out to me At nighttime is where I'm supposed to be Supposed to be (guitar solo) background chants while chorus rolls: Skylights (x16) (The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are looking down at me The skylights, I'm looking at the skylights They glisten over me The skylights are hovering over me) (x2)

It's over, my life is at an end  I cannot face another day here, my friend  You have beaten me, it's clear to see  And now the fires are the ones that keep me company  You've seen my hand, I've been played  The cards are on the table, this has been a good game  The hand's been dealt, but not very well  And now I dine in hell  (organ solo)  (piano solo)  (guitar solo 1)  (guitar solo 2)  Chorus (repeat chords from above):  You've seen my hand, I've been played  The cards are on the table, this has been a good game  The hand's been dealt, but not very well  And now I dine in hell  You've seen my hand, I've been played  The cards are on the table, this has been a good game  The hand's been dealt, but not very well  And now I dine in hell.....

Legacy 06:17

about

A grouping of popular original tunes from my Twitch streams.

"Scars of Her Love" is a track I pulled from a concept album that I planned to release this year. It's about a character finally taking control over his life after a 3 year hiatus away from all his problems and letting others decide what's right for him, and it starts with leaving a toxic relationship. He finally decides to take ownership after years of letting other things define him.

"Skylights" is about how I felt after playing a holiday gig in New York City and being caught in how great of an experience it was.

"Now I Dine in Hell" focuses on a character from an unknown project I worked on where he doesn't get a chance to fix his mistakes and now must live in this stylized, visually pleasing version of Hell to live out the rest of his days.

"Legacy" focuses on an aging superhero passing the torch to the new generation, accepting the end of his tenure and reminding them that this is their finest hour.

All of these songs mean different things to me and have their own flair to them. Although I wrote all of these songs, Skylights is the only tune that is specifically explaining my reactions and emotions; the other tunes about the exaggerated life of a fictional character going through highly exaggerated and extreme situations, or telling a wonderful story. But at the end of it all, they all carry different messages of their own and instill feelings in me that ultimately make me feel very proud that these tunes are out in the world.

And I'm glad you all enjoy these tunes just as much as I do.
