The Holy Roller's on the floor now They stormed his castle and they crushed his crown He's on all fours and just keeps wondering Why time waits for no one Time waits for no one If only he had seen it coming first But his mind was blinded by the myth of his worth And in the end, he still could not quench his thirst Because time waits for no one Time waits for no one He took too long to make his mind up Lived in a dream world where the clocks had stopped Only to find that he had gone astray Amidst the haze of lazy days The moon shines brightly off the mirror A song is dancing in the wind somewhere Don't take too long, young prince, it all disappears Because time waits for no one Time waits for no one

Some days you're up, some days you're down I could've sworn I saw you running sideways through the town Well, your happy days are well on the way Ride down that straight divide and you can come around again Somebody calls you from across the hill But there's no one standing there It's all up to you if you wanna chase that thrill But why would you even care? Just come on through, I can't follow you But I'm at the bottom of the stairs And right past this door, the road's well worn Better choose good friends to get you there Somebody calls you from across the hill But there's no one standing there It's all up to you if you wanna chase that thrill But why would you even care? I know the answer that you're looking for It's not the one that you think it is It's time to roll up your sleeves and start digging With the hands that you've been given Oh yeah! Wonderbread, you're always dreaming of a brighter day up ahead I don't wonder why you're always scheming up a lighter load for your head Don't cling too tightly to what's behind you Time to elevate your mind Wonderbread, you've got to build it so let's get you out of bed Those tricks you hide behind won't save your ass this time Gotta take a look beyond the wall 'Cause your silly grin and those sideways eyes Won't sing sweet nothings when you fall Somebody calls you from across the hill But there's no one standing there It's all up to you if you wanna chase that thrill But why would you even care? Some day soon I know your garden's gonna bloom So just keep your head up and I'll see you on the moon, buddy I know the answer that you're looking for It's not the one that you think it is It's time to roll up your sleeves and start digging With the hands that you've been given Oh yeah! Wonderbread, you're always dreaming of a brighter day up ahead I don't wonder why you're always scheming up a lighter load for your head Don't cling too tightly to what's behind you Time to elevate your mind Wonderbread, you've got to build it so let's get you out of bed Come on now, get out of bed Come on now, get out of bed Come on, come on, come on, come on

You'll keep on running 'till the end of your days You've gotten used to your old teenage ways You'll never know, you'll never know Your heart's like gold but it breaks like glass You're getting old, but you're still stuck in the past You'll never grow, if you never know There'll come a time when all the fancy dreams You put through the machine Don't come out the way you thought they would Just think about the wasted days you've spent I bet you thought they'd never end Where have they gone now that you want them And where were you when we needed you the most? You tell yourself the same thing every time It's my advice that you should change your line But I wouldn't know, i wouldn't know And what makes you just want to throw it all away You know the answer but you're just too tough to say You'll never show, if you never know Take a look! There'll come a time when all the fancy dreams You put through the machine Don't come out the way you thought they would Just think about the wasted days you've spent I bet you thought they'd never end Where have they gone now that you want them And where were you when we needed you the most? It ain't too late to stop and face yourself I wouldn't want you turning into somebody else But you'd never know, you'd never know You'd never know, you'd never know You'd never know

I heard you're leaving for the Eastern side Well, I hope you know we're gonna miss you Did you get the fear that life was gonna pass you by I wouldn't want for that to come true Well, you left me here with kind regards for everyone That you ever really cared for I'll do my best to keep your garden clean While you're gone And who's gonna stand by my side When I'm down at a quarter to three And if I call out your name with my back against the wall It ain't you that I'm gonna see, is it now? No need to worry, I'm not stranger to the blues I'm in no hurry to shake it I find that lately, I don't know what to do So I guess I'll have to fake it Shoot me a line if you need to talk You've got my number, come along for the walk Everybody's gonna be just fine Well, can't you feel it through the telephone line I'm alright but my best friend is a long, long ways from home You're burning bridges that you've always crossed 'Cause that's what you were taught to do But don't forget that when you play with fire It might just take a chunk right out of you Well, it ain't my place at all to tell you how to be Yes, you're one of a kind It's just a shame that we couldn't see eye to eye And who's gonna stand by my side When I'm down at a quarter to three And if I call out your name with my back against the wall It ain't you that I'm gonna see, is it now? No need to worry, I'm not stranger to the blues I'm in no hurry to shake it I find that lately, I don't know what to do So I guess I'll have to fake it Shoot me a line if you need to talk You've got my number, come along for the walk Everybody's gonna be just fine Well, can't you feel it through the telephone line I'm alright but my best friend is a long, long ways from home

about

"Fever Dream Supreme" is a thematic album that follows a down-on-their-luck ambiguously-named hero on their journey to self-discovery. It chronicles the inner dialogues of someone who gets turned around, mourns the loss of time, works on positivity, pushes pro-activity, sheds their old skin, makes amends with the past, gets lost again, gains personal insight, falls in love, falls out of love, rages against the suffering of humanity, and finally returns into space and drifts off. Vaguely.

This entire album was composed, arranged, recorded and mixed between March and August of 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. I was forced to stay in and began to experiment with Garage Band by building basic drum beats and carving instrumental sections into them. Slowly but surely, I added more and more instruments and sections and then the lyrics came flooding in. Finally, I had to learn how to do some rudimentary mixing but that evolved into a full-on obsessive deep dive into the subject, which I gladly took in and spent countless days on.

After many iterations, the mix was ready to be passed on to my dear friend, William Poulin (owner of Babyhorse Records and Sud-Ouest Recording Service). He added the mastering touches to it and graciously welcomed me in to the label.

It felt like a very beautiful strange dream that happened so long ago, but I'm very excited to show you my latest development as a songwriter and instrumentalist. I hope you enjoy!
