They'd Call Me Artist In America



Panic this, panic that.

Just an everyday Wednesday.

Connect the dots, looking back.

Pity me, Wednesday.


Waxing philosophic, someday iconic, an enigma - I am, I am, I am.

Poetic pursuits, idiot of creation, tied up like glue - I am, I am.

A highway, gateway, door to a nation that nobody knows - I am, I am.

Humble servant, giant fool, tortured soul.

They’d Call Me ‘Artist’ In America.


Panic this, panic that.

Just an everyday Wednesday.

When it works, it really works.

When it doesn’t, it doesn’t - stay in the game!


Waxing philosophic, someday iconic, an enigma - I am, I am, I am.

Poetic pursuits, idiot of creation, tied up like glue - I am, I am.

A highway, gateway, door to a nation that nobody knows - I am, I am.

Humble servant, giant fool, tortured soul.

They’d Call Me ‘Artist’ In America.

A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.
