about

A decade ago, I fell completely in love with pop music and writing slick, upbeat songs. Things have felt pretty heavy in the world, and I’ve truly felt the need to escape and to try and provide the soundtrack for others to escape with me. In the process, I’ve shied away from being more earnest. Recently though, I’ve been feeling this hunger to be more genuine and open, and to reconnect with the emotional side of writing. Songwriting is a totally different experience when it’s just me and my guitar. I forgot what it was like to try to make a song sound gentle and beautiful, express a distilled feeling, and connect with a listener that way. This song, “This Old Thing,” is my first attempt in a long time. I realize that this might seem like an odd-ball release for me on the heels of my EP. I guess a part of me is still just that earnest, emo kid from San Jose, listening to Death Cab and The Album Leaf, playing music with my friends, and learning to cope with being a human. I don’t know if this will be a one off, or a new chapter in my writing life, but if any of you connect with this song, even in some small way, it will mean so much to me. Music is, and has always been, about friendship, love and connection.

Love, David

lyrics

Stay with your friends, we will make it up sometime
When the day breaks in our eyes
Cold is the air when you say you’ve met someone
And the life seeps from my mind

Tell me, what’s left of us?
You gotta believe that we can still see this
Through a small speck in time
I promise I’ll find a way back into us
Crashing into a new lover
Stay with me, we can recover
All that we really need
We gotta believe that this old thing can fly

Wrote you a song but the words came out all wrong
That’s the story of my life
Cold are your lungs, leaving California’s sun
And the warmth drains from my heart

Thousands of miles high
We used to dream we could be anything
Now that we’re stuck on ground
Let’s turn it around, so tell me you won’t go
Crashing into a new lover
Stay with me, we can recover
All that we really need
We gotta believe that this old thing can fly
