If you’ve read any amount of my lyrics or blog posts about any of my songs, I think you’ll see that none of them are black and white with the meaning of the song. ‘Love it & Leave it There’ is no different. I feel that the song embodies the feelings of whether it’s a person you love (or used to) or a career, friendship, or anything in between that sometimes you have to let it go no matter how you feel about it. If it’s a relationship, sometimes it just gets to be too much, and the person doesn’t feel the same as they once did, or maybe it’s your feelings that have changed. Perhaps it’s a ‘drug’ or something you are addicted to that you may love but it’s not what’s best for you. I’d argue that, in most cases, it probably wasn’t true love anyway. At the end of the day, we are on a spinning rock in space where nothing is promised day to day. Cherish what you love for as long as you have it, and If all signs point to letting it go, then do what is necessary. I hope you find your purpose however and don’t let go of it until it’s your time to go. Much Love TB
10 Min Manifest
"A rising tide lifts all boats" I think there’s been plenty of times in my life where I’ve had drastic ups and downs and it’s simply as the wind blows. What I’ve learned is no matter what happens you have to find a reason to keep going no matter what the reason is. ‘I don’t wanna be a loner at the top’ this is me manifesting on the spot. I’ve been on both sides of the coin of jealousy and it’s a losing battle either way. I decided a while back that I was going to force myself to be happy even for my enemies because someone with that attitude is completely unstoppable. No one that’s working harder than you has time to talk bad about you. Because guess why? They’re grinding, all the while you’re getting further behind; no longer. We’re on the way up baby no matter if they see it or not. I’m very grateful for my days as of late, I’m learning that you can’t lose when you’re thankful for the very breath in your lungs. I have been tested and tested the last year dealing with life threatening medical issues to family stress and no being able to work but I’m manifesting the life I always wanted and doing everything I want to do. I hope you do the same my friend. Much Love TB
All Your Life
Honestly the first time I heard the mastered version of this song I cried. I just knew that it would help people struggling mentally, physically and spiritually that really needed to hear it. I believe that is my mission with all of the music I’ve made from Metal to Pop. No matter what you are making at the end of the day the main goal is for it to resonate for a particular avatar. I feel that with each of my music releases I learn something new as I go through the process of writing it but also as I release it I learn a lot as well. This last few months has been tough for me lately. I don’t feel as many eyes (and ears) that I know I’m capable of reaching are hearing what I want to say, feels like the world is shouting and I can either stoop to their level and yell or I can continue doing what I’m doing and slowly let people notice my message and let it resonate for them. I’m grateful that God has given me the drive to push through even almost daily my mind tries to trick me into thinking ‘what are you doing this for’ but I refuse, I must. I keep cycling through thoughts of, if I wasn’t doing this then I’d have zero direction and purpose. Just because no ones paying attention now does not mean it will be this way forever. I know what I make is not for everyone but no one else can make what I make and same goes for you. That is your superpower. Do not give up because of numbers and bleeps and bloops on a computer screen, the love you poor into what you make is what keeps you going and at turning point will be what keeps other people going. If you don’t give up then you cannot fail. Much Love TB
Not Alone
I held onto this song for about two years before I released it perhaps out of insecurity. Then again perhaps it’s because I was paralyzed by working a full time job and letting that consume me, like we all tend to regrettably. But I thought about it and had been watching Nic D videos on youtube and he had said ‘Done is better than Perfect’ and it has truly changed my life. I set my released date for Not Alone I think the very next night. Im so grateful that I discovered him and his awesome advice because I really needed to hear what he had to say. Shout out to Austin Coupe who did the vocal mix on it and has gone on to do things that I don’t think even he imagined. It’s amazing to see your friends succeed in monumental ways. Support your friends and don’t be jealous. If you are then you aren’t their friend. That goes both ways. Much love TB
Heart of Stone
This track was huge for me. It was very liberating finally releasing this song, not specifically this track itself because I actually wrote my second release “Chase” before this one was finished. But more so the fact that I FINALLY was releasing music that I always wanted to try (pop/hip hop/softer than metal lol) and was fully independent and happy with.
I always felt super insecure about my singing voice but metal allowed me to get past that but at a certain point its like a breakthrough to force yourself into a state of fear because in this case it made me grow and gave me confidence. The entire lyrics are directly related to the feeling I felt actually during writing ‘Chase’ & ‘Heart of Stone’. I hope the song can help anyone else who feels like they need to do something but they haven’t quite committed to it yet. Go with your gut and push towards what you feel is right. Break away from that heart of stone. Much Love TB
