earth dust. (2023 ALBUM)
“My Heart Strings”
is about overthinking to the point where you love and hate someone at the same time.
“I Think I Just Heard the Earth for a Moment”
“Roll Me in Gold”
I was going through some heartache, and I was tired of going through it over and over again. This song is an imagined scenario of something truly sad. This reminded me that what I was going through, was not so bad.
“Hey Baby”
was written at a time when I felt alone. I was dreaming of what it might feel like, when you finally get to hold the person you were meant to be with.
“a Birthday Song for a Robot”
I was roped into writing a birthday song for this woman’s son. She agreed $300 was a great price. But then her agent “accidentally took out $3,000 instead of $300” so she wanted me to send the remaining $2,700 back. I told her “this is a popular scam tactic” and if she didn’t PayPal me $300 immediately, the deal is off… I got blocked. But I had this song to show for this scammy adventure.
“Evolution”
I made this song with my buddy Drew. It’s about re-discovering lost love.
“Hap Out the Weather Today”
Is about finally opening yourself up again. Feeling all the fear and excitement that comes with that.
“I Think I Wanna Kiss Her”
This song is about wanting to kiss a gorl.
“Tough as the Rain”
Is about grabbing everything you need and running away.
Ignorance is bliss.
“Drew’s Song”
“Is a little clip of me and Drew jamming, stolen from “Evolution”
“The Brother II”
Is a big thank you to those people in your life that you love unconditionally. Things get tough in the short term, but when you look at the grand scheme of the cosmos, you realize how beautiful it all is.
“January (Interlude)
This one just reminds me of the beauty of life. A continuation from “The Brother II” Saying thank you, and then moving on your path.
“Fuzz Bus”
“Fuzz Bus” is a song about growing up in times like these. change. A song about liminal spaces.
“Fuzz” (crazy), “Bus” (a transportation device)
While writing this song, I had frequently imagined viewing my life and core memories out of the window of a bus. This is the idea of the “Fuzz Bus”. It is a very dramatic, epic song filled with the emotion and angst of wanting to break free from this prison we have all been born into.
“A liminal space is the time between the ‘what was’ and the ‘next.’ It is a place of transition, a season of waiting, and not knowing.”
“YOU ARE IN DANGER”
This is a continuation of “Fuzz Bus”
A warning. You are in danger. Look out.
THEO’S MAGIC BASEMENT (2021 ALBUM)
I was a sheltered kid, so this whole album captured a boy
wondering what the world is like. Dreaming of the future and what he’d
turn into. Written in 2019
“And It’s Right”
was written as I was going through a hard time. I
tried to write a sad song, but this song flew out of me from nowhere,
giving me all the happiness I dreamed of. I hope it gives you some too.
It’s about that peaceful easy feeling you get when you’re with the right
people/person. -Love Theo
“Hope You Feel”
“We’re Young”
“Is Love Selfish”?
The song for when they are gone, and all you can do is overthink. The recording process was lots of fun. I recorded the vocals in the washing machine trying to get the “natural reverberations” …And that was the end of the washing machine…
“Make A Mistake”
Is about having something slip through your fingertips. I think I captured the desperation and disparity.
“Strange May”
was written when I was old enough to kind of understand what was going on around me. A lot of strange things were happening at this time. My friend had just died in a car crash, Notre-Dame had just burnt down etc. I could do nothing about any of it except for write songs in my room.
“Miss U Miss U Miss U”
A song about when they are gone, and you tried, but some things just don’t turn out right.
“Street Light”
Dreaming about what I want from this life. Grabbing on to hope when I felt lost.
“Blue Shoes”
is a song of hope, and I wrote it as I was dreaming of what I would like to happen in my future. It has a fast moving chaotic drive to it which is fun and low commitment. Fun fact: the vocals were recorded when I was sick, but I just kept them for fun.
“Hold For Your Life”
I heard this song in a dream. It reminds me to hold on and keep going NO MATTER WHAT. Things will change, and that’s the only constant in this world. It gets better… just grab on and hold for your life.
“Woozy Stomp”
This is the song I was trying to record when I accidentally made “And It’s Right” It is a song about overthinking and driving yourself crazy in the middle of the night. I found a trombone in my magic basement, and recorded it into this song.
“Pop Rock”
When I came up with the guitar part for the first time, it was so beautiful, calming, yet sad. The song then revealed itself to be about innocent perfect love, that is impossible to find.
“I Don’t Even Know If You Know”
This song was made in the shower after my first heartbreak. It’s very special because I captured the exact sound I had in my mind (which is very hard to do). You can really hear the beauty and sadness of me learning how to let go.
“Through The Nightmare”
This song is another one that turned out exactly how I heard in my head. Hence why it is so special to me. I feel this is the perfect ending to the album. letting go from this chapter of my life. It ends the album with the word “Goodbye”
