LIFE! 05:07
lyrics

Well here i am... another year has come to pass. I don't know what to feel sometimes it's unbearable, you should know that... LIFE! The good times came yet quickly faded, darkness stayed I have to honestly say we still found beauty and love surrounding us.. He told me son you gotta... Ride the highs, Equalize the lows, Find the truth in all, but never ever give up your soul never give up your soul LIFE! No time to stare or start doubting whether fair is fair. It's time to act on your heart. no time for the invisible act of wanting... How many people need to die before we Ride the highs (not too high) Equalize the lows (with kindness) Find the truth in all (and her love) but never ever give up your soul never give up your soul... LIFE!

Silly Game 05:34
lyrics

I could sit here, inside.. And think of all the things I couldn’t hide... I could wonder if I... Could go back and not allow myself to cry... But it’s all gone, that time is done… Time to move on…. And on and on… Still I imagine, your lips… You’re soft and sexy on my fingertips… And how I miss, that kiss That you stole from me and started this! But it’s all gone… You’re all I’m looking for, you said.. And now your keeping me away, instead But it’s ok… life is a game We’ll never win.. So now I’m writing, this song Our lives are twisted as we try to belong And now I’m hoping, it’s true… That life is crazy, and I’m crazy for you The time has come, let us be strong, And try again… this silly game...

I Want YOU for Christmas (Acoustic) 05:02
lyrics
buy track
Each December I receive from you a Christmas card and presents wrapped in blue. Every year it's all the same another game we play to make ourselves feel good. I don't feel good anymore. I want you for Christmas I want you this Christmas All those things you gave me are now gone. They're practically forgotten like our love. You're all that's left from falling pieces from outdated, outdone, out-funned forgots... but you're the one that i want... I want you for Christmas I want you this Christmas All i'm saying is that i love you... but it's been so long since 1992. No time for stupid little cases and boxes wrapped in neither red nor blue let's meet and unwrap you! I want you for Christmas I want you this Christmas (2x) Yeah.. you're the one that I want this Christmas Yeah.. you're the one that I want this Christmas I want you now I want you now even if it's not Christmas anymore I want you even if it's March 24 I want you even if it's September 24 I want you even if it's October 24 I want you even if it's Christmas I want you even if it's Christmas I want you I want you

drop. rock... and roll! the walls are crowding my universe. electric wavelengths harsh crashing pulse. people are suffering every day and you don't know what to say don't know what to do, or even if it's okay to laugh and love today when humans are enslaved by other humans even in the USA but some people say, it doesn't matter! of course we matter, of course it matters... but you wanted to dance but you wanted to sing you wanted to love you wanted to live but you wanted to run but you wanted to rest you wanted to laugh forever all of us are us. all of us are us. but you wanted to dance but you wanted to sing you wanted to love you wanted to live but you wanted to run but you wanted to rest you wanted to laugh forever Drop. Rock, and Roll. maybe someday I will say hi i'm trying 'til your love is in ON i don't want you ashamed i know you saw the STAAAAR! Life is running out the time to act is now! Life is running out the time to act is now! but you wanted to dance but you wanted to sing you wanted to love you wanted to live but you wanted to run but you wanted to rest you wanted to laugh forever

Time for Revolution 05:34
lyrics
buy track
They're always in my head will someone tear them off before i blow? They're keeping me away from the know I'm drowning in the mud , they won't let me go! It's time to rise... the sun in our eyes... It's time to LOVE... no compromises. There's always something that's trying to make me forget that life is more than having more money than yesterday, but still it falls that bucket of monkeys on my head. Every moment is a battle for LOVE and happiness. Forget "seize the day"... seize the NOW! It's the only way you and I will experience eternity. It's hell or heaven if we want it now. The fantasy is calling me... all of US wake up to take the LOVE-force back.. (2x) It's time for revolution It's time for us to be part of the solution (4x) You'll be fine baby. Don't be scared baby. Take my hand and let them slip away from us baby (2x) It's time to rise... the sun in our eyes... It's time to LOVE... no compromises. The doctor said get rid of the stress. Take the time to be happy and forget all the rest. If you have chaos in your head put LOVE there instead. Look at me in the eyes and let's forgive and forget. When you wake up you gotta keep your head up (2x) The fantasy is calling me... All of US wake up to take the LOVE-force back.. (2x) It's time for revolution It's time for us to be part of the solution (2x) It's time to rise... The sun in our eyes... It's time to LOVE... no compromises. They're always something that's trying to make me forget that life is more than having more money than yesterday, but still it falls that bucket of monkeys on my head. Every moment is a battle for LOVE and happiness. Forget "seize the day"... seize the NOW! It's the only way you and I will experience eternity. It's hell or heaven if we want it now. Seize the NOW! It's the only way you and I will experience eternity. It's hell or heaven if we want it now. When you wake up you gotta keep your head up...

about

Hello friends and welcome!!!

I'm celebrating 22 years of songwriting by releasing "First of May", an album with a few of my personal favorites from over the years. I began writing songs at the tender age of 12 and have LOVED every minute of it.

While many of my friends accumulated favorite bands and artists throughout their life, my life's soundtrack was created a song at a time on my guitar and from my heart. Every song takes me back to those people, places and moments that moved me to write. Sometimes songwriting was a way to celebrate. Other times it was a way to cope. Most of the time, it was my soul reaching out in a LOVING manner. :)

Even though I never took formal training for songwriting or sound recording, I pride myself in my "Do It Yourself" approach. You may notice some differences in quality of my production or vocals because I didn't produce these songs all at once. I'd like to think that my skill as a producer and performer has improved throughout the years, but in the end the thought is irrelevant. I LOVE every single one of these tracks just as they are for they hold within them signs of the times... like timecapsules! I hope you take a few moments to listen in to my soul exposed and appreciate my art for what it is: a labor of LOVE.

The minimum price for this 7-song album is $5.01 to coincide with the numbers of my birthdate. Feel free to change the numbers as you see fit and help me continue expressing myself through this treasured passion of mine. I left my well-paying and enjoyable corporate job in 2010 after more than a decade to dedicate myself fully to my artistic endeavors. Your continued support has sustained the reality of doing what I absolutely LOVE in my life EVERY DAY.

Thank you very much to all those artists, close friends, lovers, family and fans who have inspired me in my musical journey!!! I appreciate every single one of you dearly. <3 A special thank you to my sister Isabel Sage whose photographic art graces the album.

Cheers! To enjoying the ride and the wonderful tunes that adorn it.

In all you say, think or do... add LOVE. ( + <3 )
