"On and On" is a song I worked on in May 2015 with AVLI Music at his recording studio in Reseda, CA. We met at the 2015 ASCAP I Create Music EXPO at the Loew's Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. I'm happy with how it turned out. :)
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I want you
But I pushed you away years ago
I need you
I need to know
that I could die tomorrow
And go unresented into eternity
For the things that I've done
Back in the day
Being annoying
Hanging on every word you said
What can I say?
I was a kid
and you were mostly too
It's all in the past, and can't be changed,
But the bitterness seems to linger
Chorus:
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
Verse 2:
So what can I do
to get through to you
and change your mind?
I'd walk on eggshells for the rest of my life if that meant that it would be alright
So consider this a promise
I'll never hurt you like I did back then
I just wanna be honest
It hurts when you're mad all the time and it goes
Chorus:
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on, and it goes
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
Bridge:
We're gonna make it up that hill eventually
It just takes time
Sometimes I feel like my heart's gonna explode
And then it's fine
Maybe you get what you see
maybe it's not even that deep
Can we forget what we've seen here
And try to move ahead, this animosity is killing me
Chorus:
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on
On and on,
and on and on, and on and on, and on and on

This is my self-titled EP containing seven tracks I worked on with AVLI Music, a music producer based in Reseda, CA, who I met in 2015 at the ASCAP I Create Music EXPO at the Loew's Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. There are also musical and lyrical contributions from Jordan Siwek and Maryland upcoming rapper Questt. Creating this EP has been a labor of love and I'm so happy to see it finally come to fruition after almost four years. The EP is a raw emotional journey through personal songs, vibey tracks and danceable midtempos. It was mastered by Erick Labson at United Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
