Here I am 04:07
I fell in headfirst walked right in played it so cool yeah tried to fit in to places that I never belonged got stuck in situations way too long If I told you half the things that happened you'd look back at me laughing you'd probably never believe me but what you see is what you get yeah what you see that's me so here I am I finally let my guard down put my mask away done with the masquerade here I am I stand before you naked here so insecure for what it's worth, yeah for what it's worth here I am standing here, standing here right in front of you Here I am... I'll tell you now I'll never change another version of the same I think you know as well as I do there's nothing I can promise you I remember when it happened the day I woke up laughing that's when I knew I had you yeah no one can take that away you're the reason I'm right here today here I am I finally let my guard down put my mask away done with the masquerade so here I am I stand before you naked here so insecure and for what it's worth, yeah for what it's worth here I am

Maybe we need a change of scenery maybe we need the scene to change lately we can't agree on anything lately it all feels the same maybe we needed to take a break yeah, maybe we just need our space I know, you know, it doesn't work that way I know, you know, it doesn't work that way Maybe I need a reason to leave maybe you're looking for a reason to stay lately there's no rhyme or reasoning the words get to hard to say maybe we needed to take a break yeah, maybe we just need our space I know, you know, it doesn't work that way I know, you know, it doesn't work that way I'll go out every night you'll hear about it try lies alibis sweet revenge with a friend of mine when jealousy brings us together again we'll find everything has changed it can never be the same It doesn't work that way I know, you know, it doesn't work that way x4 maybe we needed to take a break it doesn't work that way maybe we both know that it's too late it doesn't work that way everything has changed it can never be the same it doesn't work that way

Go 03:07
Remember when we were young endless nights and stolen days in the rain looking for shade in the sun and we found it forget about that now sometimes things they just won't don't work out so c'mon can we at least be friends? You don't have to go but I understand if you're gone So good to see you again thanks so do you Yeah I've been busy too something I learned from you another song for the broken hearted a minor key for the uninvited a sad song about the other side of love is all we're left with in the end You don't have to go but I understand if you're gone
5.
There's something about you something about the way you're always on my mind So I've been thinking about you thinking about a way that we can spend some time so if you can find a moment alone maybe you can call me up on the phone me and you back together alone this is all we've got until you come back home baby you yeah you are the only one that can make me come when you call I come running to you wherever you are I won't hesitate never make you wait yeah I'm coming too I'm coming to you There's something about you something about the way you always read my mind so I've been thinking about you thinking about a way to get you on the line so if you can find a moment alone maybe you can call me up on the phone me and you back together alone this is all we've got until you come back home baby you yeah you are the only one that can make me come when you call I come running to you wherever you are I won't hesitate never make you wait yeah I'm coming too I'm coming to you
6.
Late September I'm feeling cold inside with an Indian summer running through my mind I still remember so many nights that I would just lie awake dreaming of my life I'm not complaining but when I close my eyes I don't see the things I saw once upon a time what do I do now now that the life that I've been living is a life I'm second guessing lately In my life I found the love it brought the pain the size of oceans In my life the good and bad I've tried them both and never learned my lesson this is the life that I've been second guessing, lately So now I look back with no regrets I guess I could of done a few things a bit different like the time I tried to like the times I lied to you like everytime I swore never again I'm not complaining but when I close my eyes I don't see the life I had in mind what do I do now now that the life that I've been living is a life I'm second guessing lately In my life I found the love it brought the pain the size of oceans In my life the good and bad I've tried them both and never learned my lesson this is the life that I've been second guessing, lately
7.
I heard the news just the other day heard you were coming yeah you're on the way I must admit at first I turned to runaway but now I count the days until I see your face I hope that my eyes are the first thing that you see looking down at you just looking up at me I'm gonna pick you up and hold you in my arms no I won't let you go until you tell me so Can't wait to teach you baby everything I know can't wait to learn from you the many things I don't I can't believe that this is really happening from here on out I'm only here right here for you Yeah things around here are about to change it's for the best I mean you know it's just so strange I wonder if I'll even know what I should do to do-do-do-do-do do right by you I'm looking forward to your point of view looking at life thru your eyes with everything brand new I'm gonna take you by the hand help you understand that there is nothing in this world that you can't do Can't wait to teach you baby everything I know can't wait to learn from you the many things I don't I can't believe that this is really happening from here on out I'm only here right here for you

Put it down 02:37
I was given a gift I know I didn't deserve one like a little boy on Christmas morning I ripped it open All I never wanted all anyone ever needed I knew right away by the way it fit my hand I better put it down before I break it put it down before I break it put it down before I break it into pieces So sweet it hurt my teeth so warm at night I could not sleep So hard to find a place in here for something that I can keep so I keep it far away yeah up high then I walked away I turn around for one more look I heard somebody say put it down before you break it put it down before you break it put it down before you break it into pieces sometimes I feel like you're testing me 'cause in the past I've broken everything I've broken everything... Put it down before you break it put it down before you break it put it down before you break it into pieces
9.
So the year is almost over I've been searching for some closure gonna leave the bad behind making resolutions I'm starting revolutions in my mind in my mind, yeah Ain't it funny how the time goes by we don't see it till its gone that's about enough for me I'm done so next year about this time I wonder where I'll find myself a new beginning another ending who knows well I hope to feel at home something I have never known but I know where this road goes Ain't it funny how the time goes by we don't see it till its gone that's about enough for me I'm done It's time to walk away time to walk away It starts today It can always start today...
10.
I've been thinking a lot about the weather out here it's always sunny and clear and I could use a change maybe I'll just start heading your way and if its Ok I can be there in a couple of days rain... yeah the rain the kind that keeps us inside all night and day rain... cold hard rain falling down to wash away the pain let it… I think it's time for me to hit the road got some things to take care of back home if you ever end up headed my way you know i'm easy to find you always have a place to stay in the sun… sunshine beating down all day to keep us warm at night in the sun… sunshine without a cloud up in the big blue sky let it… Rain…rain or shine Never too good at making up my mind Let it rain let it shine until we meet again this isn’t goodbye Let it…

about

Hey! So, I'm excited to play you my first solo record! Give it a listen, take a free song, buy a track or buy the record, which includes a couple of top-secret free bonus tracks!

After many years of playing Rock "n" Roll around the world, recording cassettes, albums and CDs with really loud and fast bands, like UNSOUND, FURIOUS IV and MONDO GENERATOR; I wanted to make a different kind of record, something a little more laid back and stripped down. Maybe I'm getting old or the tinnitus has moved into the brain? My Mom always asked, "why can't you make a record that you can understand what you are saying, why all the yelling and screaming?" Here ya go Ma.

This record started out as an acoustic thing, with a hand full of songs written for and about several friends who had recently passed away. After listening back, it seemed to want a few old-fashioned rock songs and some other true stories thrown into the mix. Some songs just stick with you in the subconscious; these are a few of mine. Good or bad, love it or hate it, here I am... volume one.

PS. If you want the record, but don't have an extra seven bucks, or if you are scared of PayPal, let us know, we'll do stuff.

Cheers,

Ian
