about
I originally wrote this song on guitar, sitting in my bathroom late at night, where the acoustics vibrate bright. But one night I was hanging out with my good friend and jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan in his studio in Venice. When I showed him the song, he suddenly started playing it in the vibe of the old Vaudville or Ragtime style...I was in love. We all hit the studio a week later and recorded the song in two takes. Wham bam, thank you Tigran!

lyrics
I Instead
Hey now, did you really believe him when he said?
He would buy you forever, you’re deserted and he’s dead
And standing here, I instead.
Sweet girl, do you want to start it all over do you think?
I’m downright down without you, want to kiss you or buy you a drink
Into the night we will sink
I tried to find your cloudy mind
You’re far from what I need
And so I joined this rockin’ band
And I’m singing out of key, and making it bleed
Hey now, did you really believe him when he said?
He would buy you forever, you’re deserted and he’s dead
And standing here, I instead.
Sweet girl, do you want to start it all over do you think?
I’m downright down without you, want to kiss you or buy you a drink
Into the night we will sink
I tried to find your cloudy mind
You’re far from what I need
And so I joined this rockin’ band
And I’m singing out of key, and making it bleed
