“Late Night Ramble”
My first single, “Late Night Ramble,” from my upcoming debut album, “Cathartes Aura” is now available. Fundamentally, it is a song about remaining true to yourself in a world of deception, lies, outrage, anxiety, confusion and smoke and mirrors.
For me, inner truth emerges from moments of quiet, introspective solitude. Usually it’s late at night while most people are sound asleep, and a deep quiet takes over, amplifying the noise of my mind. That voice rambles, and I find it helps to sort it out by putting it on paper. Oftentimes it’s jumbled, incoherent, profane, dark, funny, offensive, brutal and nonsensical. But after spending some time churning out the garbage, the truth of what I’m feeling and htinkbecomes clearer. Sometimes it finds its way into a lyric or a few lines of poetry. This song was born from that writing practice.
“Late Night Ramble”
It’s a late night ramble
That’s keeping me awake
So far beyond my bedtime
So far beyond the break
Deep, deep down in the ocean
With the feelings I forsake’d
But something’s pulled me down here
Yeah something I can’t shake
It’s a late night ramble
That shows me I’m unsure
Of what was once so certain
Now nothing but a blur
Of everything I’m thinking
The profane and impure
Found here within these pages
The cancer and the cure
And I’ll be damned if I don’t share my story
And may be damned if I do
But that’s alright man I don’t need the glory
In a world that misconstrues
I would rather be true
Yeah it’s a late night ramble
That’s got me up all night
On this creative gamble
Been betting all my life
I may have lost religion
I may be read my rights
But something is a whispering
That’s says I’ll be alright
And I’ll be damned if I don’t share my story
And may be damned if I do
But that’s alright man I don’t need the glory
In a world that’s gone askew
I would rather be true
And I’ll be damned if I don’t share my story
And may be damned if I do
But that’s alright man I don’t need the glory
In a world so damn confused
I would rather be true
