What Can Love Do?

Hey, thanks for visiting my blog. I am so excited to share with you guys the new album we recorded last year. I will have some updates coming soon. I am planning on sharing the album artwork on the 18th, and along with that I will be updating you on how and when we will be releasing the new album.

A lot has happened since we recorded The Drake. First thing's, first, I have to note that I have found the writing process to be far more easy than in the past. The reason is because every time I open up a social media app, or visit YouTube, one of the hundreds of artist's that I met in New York City is releasing something new. It makes it easier because I'm digesting inspiration and having moments where I am excited, singing along, and just rockin' out to these tunes that I wish half of Bangor could be listening too as well. When all is said and done, thank you for being you. Thank you for working hard, playing your music, and continuing to change the world like you do.

I ran into some personal issues in 2016 that effected the beginning of 2017. I will tell you guys more about this later on when these issues are a thing of the past. However some of them are still borderline current, and I won't be ready to talk about them for a few years. But the music won't stop, don't worry.

I took a break from writing near the end of 2016 and picked it back up in August of 2017. As soon as we started recording, I started writing. New songs started to flow, and I am trying to build up enough songs for another release not long after we release The Drake.

Here is a list of songs that were written in 2017 that did not make it on The Drake, with the exception of 2 tracks.

1.) Something About This Place
2.) The Audition
3.) Take My Pain Away (made it on The Drake)
4.) That Place (needs a new song title)
5.) High In Love
6.) Higher than I've Ever Been
7.) Your Time (made it on The Drake)
8.) Scream
9.) What Love Can Do


I love music, and I always try and push myself to work harder than I possibly can at achieving my goals. Note that I started writing again in August, so this year I hope to double or maybe triple that amount of songs.

This is going to be a good year, I can feel it. I plan to head to Los Angeles and explore the music scene there. There's also a lot of really good schools there. I definitively want to look at some.

Alright, so Feb 18th, album artwork... I plan to get my website up and running, maybe this March. I have had that on the back burner for a  while and now I can feel that I will be getting around to that soon.

I recently watched a video where an artist discussed his favorite track on his latest album. I loved how this person did that because it helps you understand what song(s) the artist is most passionate about.

So here we go.

Favorite song off
Waiting on The Tide To Change..
-Something Else

Zrobb
-Those 3 Words

Live at the Shrine World Music Venue
-Just a Dream

All time favorite song that I've written:
Quiet Day

The Drake:
Something in the Way You Move


Quiet Day was the first song that I ever wrote. I wrote it in Keene State College, and I remember the first time singing at Rail Road Square with Djembe extraordinaire, Zach Stevens. Quiet Day is about pain and agony, while still staying true to that message of love, with the lyric, "I know you're out there." That line is about my belief that true love exists. And when you fall into it, it is the most incredible thing that you have ever experienced. I know there is someone out there for me. Maybe it's you, with your beautiful eyes, as you read this blog post. lol. I just believe in true love. I really do.

I'm going to wrap up this blog with the lyrics I have re written for the chorus to a new track, What Love Can Do.

"You drop it all cuz, something new is coming soon.
You cross the states with your date, you're arriving in June.
You feel just like you took a drug, warm feelings start to flood you.
This is what love can do."

Feel free to message any lyric ideas that you have. I honestly want to start like this new phase or stage in my life and name it What Can Love Do?. I want to take it to the next level. Change my username to What Can Love Do?,  get my website up and running again under the URL whatcanlovedo.com. I want this to be bigger and better than anything I've done before. I want to go around and ask people every day, What Can Love Do? Hey, if you want something bad enough you'll get it. So this is my new thing. What Love Can Do. What Can Love Do? What do you think? Tell me today.

Peace guys,

You Rock!!

-Zach
