This was the highlight of my trip to Romania. Just getting to share the Beraria H stage with my bruthafromanothamutha Günes Sensoy and playing some of our favorite tunes.

Special thanks to my boys Catalin Roncescu & Tănase Octavian for filming us. Here's a playlist of what I've uploaded so far, in case 1 song just won't do:

I got to play and enjoy a beautiful sunset over while sipping some of their great wine. This resulted in some tracks hazily blending together.

Here's an original tune performed during Intergalactic DUI's first show on planet Earth, back in May 2018.

Bittersweet

As far as I can tell,
You’ve lost the will to fly,
With your wings in my hand,
My cross stabbed in your heart,
You’ve stopped reaching for the skies.

You wear silence as your smile,
Autumn in your eyes.
But the wind is cold,
Carried us far apart,
Like light scattered in the dark.

You’ve tried all the gods above,
For salvation, you’ve waited in vain.
You thought the angels called your name.
(But) their befallen silence was all that remained

If I could feel you on my skin,
What wouldn’t I give?
Feel that fire within,
This slithering poison I can’t shake.

Help me unshackle the being within,
Help me be free, free from me.
Help me soar, heal these wings.
I’ll mend the sky to the color of your dreams

You’ve tried all the gods above,
For salvation, you’ve waited in vain.
You thought the angels called your name.
(But) their befallen silence was all that remained

A big thank you to Daring Greatly Band for letting me jam on their stage and spontaneously joining me on vocals!

The hardest part about missing home is being far from the awesome people that made it so.

Happy international women's day!
This is a song about not realizing what you've lost until it's too late. So fellas, appreciate the strong and beautiful women in your life each and every day, because without them, let's face it, we have no idea what we're doing!
