Ghosts of Buttercup
I built "Ghosts of Buttercup" from memories of desert riding around Buttercup and Gordon's Well, border runs to Algodones, Competition Hill, and the reckless freedom that came with being young.

We Rolled Before It Was Cool
A fast, nostalgic Zed Wishless punk song about growing up with Dungeons & Dragons before it was mainstream, surviving the old moral panic around the game, and hearing a new generation discover the same joy.

Broken Man, Iron Will
I wrote Broken Man, Iron Will around Friedrich Nietzsche, resilience, and the question of what we do with suffering after we survive it.

A Zed Wishless rock song about an ancient human pattern that keeps returning in new forms: reaching beyond limits, acquiring new knowledge, changing what is possible, and dealing with what follows.

Proctor Valley Days
A loud, dust-covered Gen X memory of growing up around San Diego, where skateboards, dirt bikes, Baja Bugs, beach bonfires, road trips, empty houses, and very little supervision made freedom feel almost limitless.
