  • The last few vinyl from Sams collection
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    I saved a few copies for myself - and I'd like to see them amongst friends and fans.
    Pressed in France in 2021 at the Diggers Factory using all recycled materials in a plant operating on solar power. These records are printed on Calcium Zinc, in potential health fear to vinyl. This record was initially shipped to the US in empty cargo space headed from Europe to New York anyways (like carpooling or something). I self released the initial 200 copies, this being essentially what's remaining.
    These copies may have been played on my record player or spun at a party or something, but they're all in new condition. There are only 7 copies.

Pebbles 04:29
I put pebbles in your shoes I had nothing left to lose Because with every step you take you leave me 10 steps behind And it's giving me the blues And if I call you are you home? Or do you want to be alone? Because with every step you take you leave me feeling like dirt And that's a way I'd never choose Separating piece by piece What once was mine melted in the heat My eyes are wide open, but I can't see These pebbles are just pieces of me I know I'm not that sharp I've gotten dull and broke apart Because with every step you take I get worn down even more Just like a rock inside your boot And if I call you are you home? You took flight but I hadn't known We all change in many ways but not if you're just a stone But I'm a rock, and I'm not an island Separating piece by piece What once was mine melted in the heat My eyes are wide open but I can't see Pebbles are just pieces of me All that I am are pieces of me All that I am are pieces of me All that I have are pieces of me All that I am are pieces of me

Too Far Away 04:06
I used to measure time by the season I used to tighten my grip I used to worry Blind fold myself to find reason I used to harvest my wit I used to search inside But I’m still too far away But I’m still too far away Count the Blades of grass to find reason Used to fall off my lip And roll off my tongue I keep to myself who am I pleasin? I just want to come down And be more in touch Cause I’m still too far away I’m still too far away I’m still too far away

Fear Itself 03:41
The tinted street in vivid hues The losing of your summer blues Except your favorite jeans I just hope to be around Even good things leave us lost not found Sometimes in the dark When we have more, more to give It’s easy To try to live Siam Cat has got your tongue Stale gun smoke fills inside your hand You’re running out of ink Do you hear my electric woes While I’m waiting for my muse And my tongues too dry to lick my wounds And the most important thing in this world I’m forgetting Cause when we try, try to live, Well we think its easy, and we think we’ll have more Cause when we try, try to live We think it’s easy to have more to give Cause when we have more, more to give We think it’s easy To try to live When we have more even more to give We think it would be easy To try to live To try to live So I’ll try to live

These Days 04:07
These days The clock in my radios a year behind These days These days Well when I wake up I pretend it’s quarter to nine and that I’ve got somewhere to be Cause I sometimes Well, well sometimes I fantasize about the future in my head I get to go home and take my cape off and someones waiting for me in bed Sometimes I just want to move on Who’s looking back at me in the mirror? Sometimes I want to shake it all up Sometimes I want to wake up when It’s 1,000 years away I’d take on any age Just to get away from These Days Our eyes are big and as pretty as we want them to be These Days These Days I don’t know what to say because there’s too much time I don’t know what to say because there’s too much time I don’t know what to say because there’s too much time I don’t know what to say because there’s too much time I don’t know what to say because

Tea & Honey 06:32
I could be bitter Like tea without honey, honey And I could be stronger But steeping takes time, not money I’ve been tired for too long Must have had the blues I’ve been tired for too long Now I’m changing my tune I’ve been tired for too long Need to find my muse I’ve been tired for too long I need some strong tea with sweet honey I could be bitter Like a snake is to the birds it’s funny It’s funny how they’re all jealous Grow some wings like you Cause I’ve been down too long I’ve been down for too long Thought I could only lose I’ve been down for too long But now I’ve got no excuse I’ve been down for so long What a waste of my time I’ve been down for so long I need some strong with sweet honey I could be sweet -but I could stand to be sweeter I probably should -but I’ve been in hot water But that won’t make me right No more excuses, I don’t need it Weary no more, lonesome no more I’ll be me, a fresh me, a sweet me And everything will be alright

Zoo 02:26
There’s nothing I’d rather do I’d do anything just to live in the zoo Tigers Zebras Orangutans Who don’t have to choose Between their next meal and the dreams they could lose All the people happy Cause I just don’t wear shoes And my stripes are bright And they’re safe on their side But my fangs have all dulled My feathers are tied My claws have been cut My hopes have all nulled My spots have all smeared My roars just a cough My dreams are all strange And my outlook is grim And I could walk, wherever I want Within the confines of your space And I could dream, and be whoever I want to be Within the confines of your mind No I wouldn’t have to talk, no excuses just a “Squawk” Or a hiss or a chirp or a howl And everyone would always be Just so happy to see me be

Green Eyes 02:43
Found some gold the other day I hope some more will come my way It’s so strange we’re never satisfied Found someones bags under my eyes I hope that they’re lime lined inside Really strange how we pass the time all the time Green Everything Green Everything Devgiri and golden snakes Ninety Nine club, secret handshakes Fortune hides in the strangest place, in plain sight What if nothing becomes of me? I’ve gone grape, the fool set free Maybe the joke is just on me Oh no Green Everything Green Everything Zig-Zig-a Green Everything Zig-Zig-a Zig-Zig-a Green Everything

Is the world still a wobbling ball? Always on the brink of losing everything I’m out of focus and I’m out of time I avoid the thought of all the ways I’d end up dead I’m an apeman Just a broken star Who once was a spaceman That traveled too far I’m a domino Set to cruise control Just a plastic bag Soaked in Alcohol I’m a TV Stuck on static With background commercials Just causing havoc I’m loping through the cosmos One day to be a fleck of dust Who dreamt to be a rockstar And worried about gun lust For now it could be easy If I let it For now it could be easy Just set it and forget it
