Its been a long time since I made an update video or posted any of my music…. But I wrote a new song the other day and I really like it (which is rare with my own music, I usually can’t stand it) so I feel really good about it and want to share it.
I hope to make an update video soon, I’m way beyond overdue…
I’ll prob end up making some changes, but for now, here it is. Lyrics are posted below:
The Race
Lyrics
saw you dancing in the dark
on that very first night
standing on the table
man, I couldn’t believe my eyes
I felt it in my chest
I felt it in my thighs
I knew that one of us
could get it later in the night
so I ran
I got real scared and I ran
oh yeah, I ran
I got real scared and I ran
then a few weeks later
we were hanging with our friends
ended up alone
and started at it again
then we tried to be lovers
and we tried to be friends
but it all got too heavy
and you said it had to end
and you ran
you got real scared and you ran
oh yeah, you ran
you got real scared and you ran
so then six months later
you came around again
with your head on straight
proud and confident
and it scared the shit outta me
intimidated
so I faked it for the papers
then I ran away and hid
yeah I ran
I got real scared and I ran
oh man, I ran
I got real scared and I ran
now a whole year later
since the first incident
we were all out together
just drinkin with our friends
then you turned to me
and I couldn’t believe what you said
but you took me by the hand
and I followed where you led
so we ran
we got real brave and we ran
oh man, oh man
we finally got real brave and we ran
now I see you in the morning
and I kiss you in the night
and I’m still in disbelief
that you like it by my side
but you never are boring
and I never get tired
and the race is still going
and we still got the fire
so we run, you’re the one and so we run
its just begun, for you I’ll always run
I’ve already won, you’re the one
you are the one
saw you dancing in the dark
on that very first night
standing on the table
man, I couldn’t believe me eyes
and I felt it in my chest, in my head, in my thighs
knew that one of us could get it later in the night
and I ran
I got real scared and I ran
oh man, I ran
yeah I got real scared and I ran

Dae likes playing/learning new covers. Suggestions?
Idk if anyone noticed or not, but I’ve been posting covers of songs I like lately in order to get past being nervous about/unsure of/not-yet-used-to my new lower voice.
Its a lot easier to put yourself out there for judgement with someone else’s song.
I’m still writing and am still planning on putting out an album, I just want to feel more comfortable with my voice first. I’m getting there, I’ve made a lot of progress for sure.
I’ve even figured out that if I tune my guitar a whole step down (so the low E string is a low D string, and so on) that I can sing anything I play much more comfortably (and it doesn’t sound half bad, lol).
So what I’m asking of you, my kind followers/supporters/stalkers/creepers (I appreciate you all, and I’m hella creepy on the interwebs too, so please don’t take that personally) is to send me ideas on songs I should cover. I play acoustic guitar and ukulele, so message me with a cover idea and tell me which instrument to use. I feel like this can be a fun way to play some new music and get my creativity flowing. Don’t hesitate to inbox me with a song idea. Even if I don’t know the song, I’ll listen to it until I know it well enough to play. Thanks in advance for anyone who wants to throw some ideas at me.
It’s a ukulele morning
…. Idk why it’s upside down
Dae covers Bright Eyes - June on the West Coast
It was okay until a tried to play the new little riff I learned at the end…. oh well.
I’m just covering some of my favorite songs to keep up my mad crazy skills.
more like basic knowledge of simple chords and prgressions.
whatever, hope somebody likes it. {:
I covered Rancid.

solace-in-the-storm asked: Will you release your album online at all? I would love the hear it. As far as your voice change, it sounds really great. For a lot of Trans* men, transitioning "ruins" their singing voices (or so they say) it may become scratchy or even a little squeaky, but yours sounds excellent =]
Yeah, it’ll be only available online. I’ve found some sites that I can upload my recordings to and sell through as an MP3. Stay tuned, I’ll let it be known when I finish writing and get an album together.
And thank you for the compliments on my voice, Its been a struggle, but I’m happy with my progress so far.
solace-in-the-storm asked: I just wanted to tell you how much i love the lyrics of "Cold Spots in the Ocean" Especially "I wandered into wonderland, without the slightest notion, that it would sweep right through me, just like a cold spot in the ocean". You're very, very talented. Keep it up! =]
thank you! [:
Really, thank you a lot. Its taken my utmost guts to start recording my music again since my voice has been changing. Thank you bunches. I’m glad my music is being enjoyed. I plan to arrange an album with all of my originals on it soon.
Cold Spots In The Ocean
Lyrics
the back of my throat burns
its like a toothache
gawing at my nerves
and now I am
what I’ve been before
the broken knob
of a locked door
I wandered into wonderland
without the slightest notion
that it would sweep right through me
just like a cold spot in the ocean
the synapse between your
touch and my skin
reverberates
and still echos within
so how do I
get over the fact
that you turned away
will you ever look back
I wandered into wonderland
without the slightest notion
that it would sweep right through me
just like cold spots in the ocean
why do I even bother trying to swim?
I drown before I ever begin
tell me which part of this is making sense
and then I’ll drift away
just like a cold spot in the ocean
I wandered into wonderland
without the slightest notion
that you would sweep right through me
and be gone
just like a cold spot in the ocean

Eli The Barrow Boy by The Decemberists
Me and my best buddy Ryan decided we would start covering some of our favorite songs so that we can get back into the swing of playing together and so that I can get over being self-conscious of my new low voice.
I’m still working out the kinks, and its still dropping, so that makes it difficult; but I’m getting there.
Be gentle with your judgements please.
