Transients

  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    This album is a collection of songs that have been written at various times over the last 2-3 years or so. All songs are written, recorded and produced by yours truly in my home studio. A few I had originally released in demo form, and they are now represented in their fully produced glory. Many speak to Autistic struggles in relationships, and in navigating the world around me, including the overwhelm of parenting amidst neurodiversity.

    I am pleased to announce GUEST CONTRIBUTIONS on this album, which I am very excited about. Arya Afshar Mohajer (IDDQD) wrote and recorded some sweet bass on two tracks ("Ride the Tide" and "IDK"), and Eric Larouche (Mr Gleam Music) contributed to some of the writing of the various "gleamy" elements on Back to You.

It’s starting to get stale I think the plan is gonna fail I know it’s time to move on I can feel it slipping Beneath my feet I gotta get on with it Before I get washed away Before we get washed away Before we get washed away I’d like to ride the tide The hell out of here The hell out of here It’s time to go Can’t be too slow It’s time to go I think you know I’m packing up I gotta go, ready or not The time has come for Babylon to fall We’re gonna get going now The show’s been nice but the curtains have fallen And we’re grabbing our coats and heading out the door Before we get washed away I’d like to ride the tide The hell out of here The hell out of here

Being Human 05:15
Pick up the telephone No connection, line is dead Walk to the corner Nothing behind, nothing ahead Spinning in circles Round and round and round Shouldn’t be this difficult Trying to make a sound I’m staring into the void Feels like mercury retrograde Is happening every day Again and again and again and again and again This isn’t going to go away Maybe it’s the price we pay For being human Losing to isolation Teetering on the brink I can blame the world around me Or I can change the way I think Feels like mercury retrograde Is happening every day Again and again and again and again and again This isn’t going to go away Maybe it’s the price we pay For being human Feels like I’m going insane What is happening to my brain These days these days these days This isn’t going to go away Maybe it’s the price we pay For being human Being human

Head Down 03:52
There’s a pathology In this symbology Don’t you see It’s preventing our unity So many of them blindly follow The words and rules that are hollow Head down Look to the ground I don’t wanna look up For fear I’ll be found Head down They’re all around Hush now Don’t make a sound We’ll build up build up We'll rise up rise up You better wise up wise up Cause we ain't gonna give up Head down Look to the ground I don’t wanna look up For fear I’ll be found Head down They’re all around Hush now Don’t make a sound So many of them blindly follow The words and rules that are hollow

Fizzle Out 05:10
Directness fails me So I write poetry Hoping you'll see me Cause I'm afraid of losing everybody I am choking On your expectations for normalcy I don't know if I will ever be What you want me to be Why can't you just tell me What you want me to do I can't figure it out anymore And it makes me feel so blue Ya ya ya ya yo Why does it fizzle out? Ya ya ya ya yo Why does it fizzle out? Why is it that I can say what I mean And you read it otherwise But you spin me riddles Meaning implied To me they just feel like lies So I'm left standing here Confused and alone Wondering if there's something For which I need to atone Why can't you just tell me What you want me to do I can't figure it out anymore And it makes me feel so blue Why can't you just tell me What you want me to do I can't figure it out anymore And if makes me feel so blue I am trying so damn hard To exist in harmony But this constant friction suggests That the problem, is probably me Ya ya ya ya yo Why does it fizzle out? Ya ya ya ya yo Why does it fizzle out? I'm just trying to be me I just wanna be me I'm just trying to be me I just wanna be me

It hasn’t always been easy over all the years While we’ve been working through all our darkest fears But I’ll always be grateful that we put in the time The best things in life are always worth the climb I want to grow old with you Hold my hand Let’s walk in the garden together I want to grow old with you Walk beside me Let’s keep this alive forever I want to grow old with you Let’s plant the seeds And watch them bloom together I want to grow old with you Your soul matches mine You know we are birds of a feather Ahh I don’t know what I’d do if you left me here You’re my foundation and I think that’s pretty clear You’re the only one who understands me well Without you this world would be a living hell I want to grow old with you Hold my hand Let’s walk in the garden together I want to grow old with you Walk beside me Let’s keep this alive forever I want to grow old with you Let’s plant the seeds And watch them bloom together I want to grow old with you Your soul matches mine You know we are birds of a feather Ahh

Burn 05:08
I've nearly been there But you got further I've never hit rock bottom But it's been worse, much worse It can be so unforgiving Yet freeing at the same time When we get knocked down It's how we learn to climb Hey you, I see you under there Just wanted to reach my hand out And let you know I care I can help you move some rubble out of the way Maybe then you'll have room To seize this day Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn And then you're reborn Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn And then you're reborn I see your hands are torn and tired I can see the places where your body has caught fire I can't imagine what it's like to be inside you But I can promise that I'll always be beside you Hey you, I see you under there I wanted to let you know that people up here care Here we are, waiting with outstretched arms I promise you that we mean you no harm Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn And then you're reborn Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn And then you're reborn

I am wandering through the mists of Rahu I am wandering through the mists of Rahu I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for I’ve learned so much but my soul yearns for more I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for I’ve caught a glimpse of something I can’t ignore I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t know where I’m going I don't know what I'm doing I don't know where I'm going I’ve never been so lost in the fog Nor have I been so drawn to a cause I don’t know when I’ll find my feet on the earth But this feels like the pain of rebirth I am wandering through the mists of Rahu I am wandering through the mists of Rahu I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for I’ve caught a glimpse of something I can’t ignore I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t know where I’m going I don't know what I'm doing I don't know where I'm going I don’t know what I’m doing But I will find my way

I sit alone Here in this crowded room No one can know The pain I feel The longing for The winds of change To blow me Away from here My spirit aches For a friend who knows Who can see me In the dark Maybe I’ll keep This pain for now Until I find A kindred heart And I keep And I keep I'm longing for a friend who knows A friend who can see I'm longing for a friend who knows A friend who knows me I’m treading water But it’s getting rough The water splashes Over me I need a boat To carry me away I’m waiting for Someone who sees I'm longing for a friend who knows A friend who can see I'm longing for a friend who knows A friend who knows me

My heart it feels like it will implode My mind is working on overload Sometimes it's all too much to bear Every now and then, I wish I didn't care My god I don't know if I can take it anymore Sometimes I forget what this all is for When I get so closed in, it's hard to see the door But the light in you helps me get back up Off the floor It seems that I'm always paddling upstream Some days all I wanna do is dream, dream, dream, dream Why does it feel like there's no rest in sight I need a sign that everything will be alright My god I don't know if I can take it anymore Sometimes I forget what this all is for When I get so closed in, it's hard to see the door But the light in you helps me get back up Off the floor

Help Me 03:47
(Help me) I can't believe all the pain we've endured May we be cured I can't believe all the pain we've endured May we be cured (Free me) We can receive all the love in the world We can give free all the love in the world

Back to You 04:08
You're a lover You're a fighter You make our lives a little lighter Your compassion Your caring heart It keeps other from falling apart You're overflowing Yet there's a knowing That you need kindness too So hey love warrior Take this reminder You couldn't give all of this without you So give a little time Give a little space Give a little of yourself Back to you So give a little time Give a little space Give a little of yourself Back to you Your work is beauty It's your soul's duty But don't forget that you matter too While you foster healing Sometimes you're bleeding Lightworkers need medicine too So give a little time Give a little space Give a little of yourself Back to you (Yeah) So give a little time Give a little space Give a little of yourself Back to you

Like a Woman 06:24
You don’t like when I express my feelings You don’t like when I assert my needs You don’t like when I voice my opinions You don’t like when I dig real deep You’d like it if I spoke when spoken to You’d like it if I stayed in my place You’d like it if I didn’t cause trouble You’d like it if I was invisible Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of youHeaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Tough luck im not going anywhere Tough luck you’ll have to learn to put up with me Tough luck I don’t need your approval I was put on this good earth to be free Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid I act like a woman In front of you Heaven forbid, heaven forbid Heaven forbid Heaven forbid, heaven forbid, Heaven forbid
