'Single In Brooklyn' is a song from of my audiovisual album 'Play Me Twice.' Through a series of music videos and a podcast exploring the creation process I'd love for you to come step into my world of 'bluish purple songs with silver-gold shimmers'...

lyrics

It’s amazing here how a couple years can do a number on your soul
and I’m gonna write my number on you
So you won’t forget me when you’re walking home, drunkenly, but it’s Brooklyn so you’re not an alcoholic, I’m gonna find a way through
and you’re not the best but you’re not the worst, I can see our naked bodies waking up on a Sunday and, Reading the news
Over orange juice and a piece of toast and a smile so wide just cuz I’m not alone anymore

I can’t be alone any, alone any
I can’t be alone any, alone anymore

Well I used to think love was we needed and I tried and I tried but I never so succeeded, Tell me what’s the use?
Then I got a good job and I worked real hard so I could get what I want and I bought a new car
But the car broke down on a trip out of town, there was no one to call, there was no one around, I got so blue
So I thought you could come over for a drink and a meal we can watch lots of movies forget how to feel
A meal and a drink, forget how to think, eat pizza together call this forever

I can’t be alone any, alone any
I can’t be alone any, alone anymore

I’ve been spending years scanning skylines
Looking for the one from my mind’s eye but now
All I see are rooftop horizons
Up above a city that’s come undone

I can’t be alone any, alone any
I can’t be alone any, alone anymore
Alone Anymore, Alone Anymore
Alone Anymore, Alone Anymore
Alone Any

Music is a lot of things. Navigating the disconnect and the connect. I'd like to make you feel something and maybe one day you'll sing a song of mine a little too loudly walking down the street...
