Retreat


I am so very happy to present one of the songs that will be on my upcoming record, brought to life with the creative partnership of Daniel Dempsey and Dominic Massaro. Press Play on the music player to hear "Retreat." My lyrics can be viewed below the music player.




"Retreat"

I remember the night
Your eyes went cold and dead.
I killed the woman I was
So I could keep you instead.

When the chips are down,
The coward shows his hand
And the game of Life
Can not go quite as planned.

Retreat, retreat,
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I remember the fight -
I begged you not to go.
My loving tears rejected,
Your choice a heavy blow.

When the storm had passed,
The damage still remained
And the love we'd shared
Forevermore was strained.


Retreat, retreat,
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I know a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do,
But you chose guns and destruction
And I only chose you.

Retreat, retreat,
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

Review of 'Love, Lust, and Longing' By The Joel Shit Show

Britt Warner and Luke Costa “Love, Lust and Longing”

This six-track EP is great for a rainy day. Britt Warner’s voice reminds me of Alannah Myles on leadoff track “You Know You Can.” The sound is very stripped down and basic rock ‘n’ roll. The next track is “Elevator Eyes.” It is faster but still solid rock. They remind me of Picnic here.

“Feel Alive Go Numb” is slower and has Led Zeppelin-inspired guitar. And here Warner sounds like Paula Cole. Luckily it does not feel too slick, which can often be expected with such comparisons. “Slow Down” is a midtempo song, whose accompaniment reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Sometimes music sounds like nothing. These guys sound like a lot of things.

“This Is It” is another midtempo song. It’s a little better in the muggy afternoon sun with a nice glass of iced tea. Something seems to be missing here, as in maybe it’s too stripped down. Some sort of glue is needed to connected the guitar with the rest of the song.

“Belong Together” finishes it up, and it reminds me of Poe. Johnny would never have been angry if this Jezebel from hell were singing to him.
