Lyrics from our 2nd Album "Supposed To Do" 2008
“Supposed to do” Verse I I remember a burning desire, to do something more An uncontrollable fire, igniting me from the core Where did it go, when did it leave When will I a-gain believe Chorus What am I supposed to do What am I supposed to do When will I supposed to do Will I ever know, will I ever know Verse II If you cut me open, will I still bleed--- it If you keep me hoping, will I still need---- it I know it’s not lost, I know its not gone I know it’s been here all along Chorus What am I, what am I, What am I, what am I What am I- - supposed to do What am I, what am I, What am I, what am I What am I- - supposed to do Bridge chorus Answers are floating in the air, purpose is knowing that you care Decisions are waiting, less all the debating What am I, what am I, What am I, what am I What am I- - supposed to do What am I, what am I, What am I, what am I What am I- - supposed to do

“Like Crazy” Verse I I miss the Sunday’s we used to share/When we didn’t have a care Wished we had the time to spare / to find what used to be there I meant to call you a hundred times/ but I kept it all inside All pride aside, wished I could have changed your mind--- changed your mind----- Chorus I miss you like crazy/ Oh I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy I’m missing you, oh I’m missing you Like crazy… like crazy Verse II There’s been this voice in my head, telling me something else instead my thoughts have been misled/ by something I could have said I’ve been trying to forget/ And stop hanging on this regret But’s hard to hit reset When you just don’t want to let go yet, you just don’t want let go yet------- Chorus Bridge The way you laughed, the way you cried, The way you made me feel inside The way you loved, the way you touchedYou never really asked for much oh And missing you, oh and I’m missing you Like crazy, like crazy, Like crazy, like crazy, like crazy-------like crazy like crazy-------like crazy

Otherwise Verse I I don't feel like, part of love's plan You believe I am, you believe I am I don't feel like, I'll ever fall again You believe I can, you believe I can Pre-Chorus I don't know if you can wait I don't Know if I can stay When all I want to do is Push you, push you, push you away Push you, push you, push you away Chorus Because love is overrated and I still feel jaded And I'm not going to date, just to say that I'm dating Those 3 words I've debated, whether there worth saying, but I know you'll convince me, I know you'll convince me Otherwise, otherwise Verse II Can I move forward, instead of standing still, you believe I will, you believe I will Can I fight this pain, that only time can kill, you believe I will, you believe I will Pre-Chorus Chorus Outro Between honesty and my only lie, I apologize, for not giving you who you know that I can be Between the pain and the memories, I've lost who I used to be, but I know you'll convince me differently I know you'll convince me I know you'll convince me I know you'll convince me Otherwise, otherwise I know you'll convince me Otherwise

Lyrics from our 1st EP "Up Down Sideways"
February 14th, 2009
With the economy in the stinker and the news on business channels continuing to weigh on us all I have been writing a lot of songs about the world but two came out that both expressed the way I've been feeling as an advisor and a person. "Ten Steps Behind" and "Its Not So Bad." Lyrics in "Ten Steps Behind" like "It feels like I'm running and running in place, it feels like I'm never the one being chased" and lyrics from "It's Not So Bad" like "There seems to be, and endless theme, that's always there preventing me, it keeps circling around waiting for me to be down, but your there now so I don't drown." January 29th 2009
It's a start to a new year and I always seem to write a lot the first couple months of the year. Working on songs for the next album with a full band and the guys are adding so much to our new sound. The Road Ahead was the first song I wrote for the New Album with lyrics like "Behind the Wheel of my life, I've been trying to keep it between the lines, in the vagness of my goals, lies questions beyond my control, In the distance are the answers, in the dust I've left my cancers and I'm leaving it all behind, leaving it all behind." Most of the songs I have been writing have had this theme of looking ahead to what lies beyond. Ever since I was a kid I would sit by the lake at Casey Park in North St. Paul and watch the sunset and think about life which always seemed weird when I look back at it. A fourteen year old thinking about life without having experienced much yet. Little did I know, expressing those philosophies and thoughts thru songwriting was going to become a big part of my life.

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. Thursday, October 12th
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.
