I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences. Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his. Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

A song to myself. I’ve often felt like an unnecessary appendage in the circles I end up in. I’ve had some real crazy experiences in my life, and I tend to exaggerate to try an instill the grandness I felt in each story. Sometimes, I’m annoying…
