Another acoustic track.
Quiet by Lights
Did another acoustic cover today. It’s become a semi-daily thing? This one was a lot of fun because I experimented with some different harmonies and backing vocals, as well as lead guitar parts. Check it out <3

How about another acoustic cover from me?
The Ballad of Love and Hate by The Avett Brothers
I’ve been legitimately listening to this song nonstop for about a week now, and it’s become one of my absolute favorite songs. I wanted to take a crack at telling the story between Love and Hate myself.

Drive Me Crazy (Dat Ukulele Version) - Me.
This is a song that I wrote towards the beginning of the summer two years ago, but never recorded or put on my record. So, I decided, two years later, to celebrate finishing finals and being the hell finished with school for a bit of time, by recording a ukulele acoustic version of this song.

Day 5: Out of Mind Acoustic
Last of these acoustic songs I did in the rain.
This is the first song that I wrote on my record “Sometime Soon.” And it’s one of my favorite ones, and has a completely different feel acoustic.
Thought I’d give Tumblr a shot!
So if you spot this, reblog is please!
I released a new single today through my bandcamp page entitled “Seeing Ghosts,” a totally ambient/grit/electropop jam. It’s a two track single for free download, so check it out!!!!
You can download the Seeing Ghosts single, as well as my 5 song EP Sometime Soon all for free at:

Day 4: Face Up Acoustic
A Cover of another Lights song, one that I don’t play that often, but is so incredibly dear to me. It’s one that gives me a lot more hope about everything.

Day 2:
Here It Goes - original acoustic.
This is a brand new song I’ve started playing live electronic, written about two weeks ago. It’s a really aggressive electronic song with really buzzy/raunchy bass and a dubstep inspired break down, and by far one of my absolute favorite songs I’ve ever written to this day.
But I decided to record an acoustic version of it in the rain to hear how it sounded as a song in its own lyrical identity, without all the arps and buzzing and womping beats.
Tell me what you think. <3
