Been working on some new original songs as well as some new covers. Been thinking about what I am supposed to do in life and naturally wrote a new song called, "Supposed to do". Also wrote a new song called "According to" which is a song about a guy who is still single in his early 30's and tells the story of the real reason why. Yeah, this might a little bit of a story about myself. Can't wait for you all to hear them. Also been working on some new cover songs from The Fray, Damien Rice, Rob Thomas and The Verve.

Debut a new song at O'Gara's last night called "At the end of the money". It's a song I think we can all relate to in some way. The second verse goes " Another year with forgotten goals
with nothing to show but nine new bars on my payroll. Another decade almost passed. Still searching for that so-called greener grass. Time is stealing, and I’ve hit a ceiling
Do you know the feeling." The Chorus, "There’s to much month left over
At the end of the money. There’s to much month left over. There’s to much month left over, at the end of the money.

Been thinking a lot about the next 5-10 years and what I want out of life and wrote a new song called "Out of life" Here is some lyrics: "Out of nothing and no way, a way can be made
Out of something comes everything, without doubt or delay
By choosing your thoughts with care, Making yourself aware
You'll find it, you'll find it
Cause life is waiting
When you stop debating
To give you what your deserve"

Been working on some new songs. I have been thinking a lot about how I wish time would fast forward just a little bit so I could get a glimpse of what my life is going to be like in the next 10 years, so I wrote a song called "Soon be now." One of the things I have lacked in my life is patience and just want everything now and don't feel like wasting precious time waiting. The opening verse starts out with the lyrics, "The Present tense seems to drag along, emotions firing/ The day eargerly waits around, patience tiring." We can't wait to play this one for you all. Our next show we will be having my old band mates Robert and Justin gracing the stage with us to bring a little more rocking version of our songs( Just a little more). I will be sending FREE comp tickets out. See you all soon.

Been working on a new song with Sean W. in the basement of G-ma's. It's a song called "Exactly Wrong." I was just sitting around thinking about how I haven't done everything exactly right in my life but I have done plenty of things exactly wrong. The first verse started on paper with the lyrics,
"I’d rather be approximately right,Rather than exactly wrong/ But I’ve been so far off/Rather than almost on/ My precision’s been artificial / My guidance is vague
My vision is losing its will I have nothing left to renege --and I've been Exactly wrong---all along". Looking forward to finishing the song up in the next couple weeks to have it ready for a show soon. Peace out my friends. -BD

Been thinking a lot about life lately. I am going to be an uncle. My brother announced that him and his wife are pregnant and due in April of next year. Been writing a lot lately about trying to find some stability in life but still follow your dreams. After playing my CD release Party with all the excitement to come down from I wonder where to go from here. It is going to take some hard work and dedication to get to the next level. The first step is local radio play and then I got the news that Jason Nagel was going to be playing "Up Down Sideways" on Cities 97. It was cool to hear him introduce the song and to finally hear my stuff on the radio. Keep the requests coming. We have a great show coming up at The Acadia Cafe. Mark your calanders for Friday, October 13th. See you soon.

Got a call from Diskmaker's today and they informed me that the CD is being shipped today and scheduled to arrive 2 days early. Wow, the weight that just fell off my back is overwhelming. I am so excited for the CD Release Party at O'Gara's on Saturday, September 23rd with Concentual and Tim Mahoney. I feel like I have been waiting my whole life for this moment. We will be debuting a couple new songs as well called "The Whirlwind" and "Break me." Excited for you all to hear them.
See you at the show.

Been working on yet another new song. This is a song I wrote about 5 years ago that I brought back from the dead. It is a song about that someone you may know that is always negative, always finding something to complain about. The song is called “Squawkbox” The second verse tells a bit of the story with the lyrics, “Say goodbye to your querulous expression/ Life is better on the other side, do you know what you’re missing/ Why do you insist on bringing everyone down?/ Do you just love the attention of being in the foreground?” I knew when I finished this song, Sean(S.W. Stomp) would have a killer beat in mind and the first time I played it at G-ma’s(our practice space in grandma’s basement) we landed on the perfect blend of tempo and energy. We will be working on this one over the next couple weeks to bring it to you live in October.

Been working on a new ballad of sorts. It is a song called “Break me” and was written as a message to anyone I am involved with. Thru pain and hurt over the years, we can all become closed off and put up a wall and the message of the song is that if your going to get close to me, your first going to have to break me down. The pre-chorus lyrics “Hope is slowly leaving, love has lost it’s meaning, and I’m broken in two, I’m broken in two/ So if your going to try to fix what’s left of me, your first going to have to, your first going to have/ Break me, break me down…” sums it up. Looking forward to adding this song to the set in October

Watched the news for the first time in awhile. Just got back from Colorado where I saw David Gray perform at the Red Rocks. If I could just play one song on that stage, my work would be done. After watching the news and staring at a cover of TIME magazine, I wrote my first controversial song about the media, called “The Whirlwind.” The song opens with the lyrics “It’s a tidal wave of events, an impending flood of reports, a place where the truth gets bent, I place where it all distorts/ The news at six and 10, nothing new again, the front page headline crafted by design, to rob you blind of your precious time/ Welcome to The Whirlwind”…… Come out to a show to hear the rest.

What is a World Killer?- "A World Killer"- 1. An event causing a reversal in feelings. 2. A flaw or issue to big to overcome. 3. A Seinfeld quality in all of us. 4. An irrevocable turn-off.
This song was written from ideas generated over the last 5 years of failed relationships. The third verse says it all, “Flaws everywhere are signaling, the obvious from the mystery, issues out in the open, feeling dumb for even hoping.” Check out the myspace link for the rest of the lyrics or just come out to a show to hear the rest of the story.
