"Hey there boys
Spread the word around
Make some noise but keep your upside down.
I said hey there boys
Shoulders to the crowd
Here's our chance to get what we've been wanting now.
Take a good look remember there's nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we've learned so well
Tonight we make them stop
No one cares how you struggle after the lights go out
So heads high boys
our night has come
So get set boys
let the curtains rise
Bodies poised
ready to hypnotize
I said hey there boys
steady on we go
Here's our chance to get what we've wanting
So take a good look remember there's nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we've learned so well
tonight me make them stop
No one cares how you struggle after the lights go out
So heads high boys
our night has come
We could spend our whole lives waiting here for a place to make a stand
Or we can try to take the future in our hands
I just need to make, make it last
Walking around like in a trance
And I won't take that chance
Take one last look remember there's nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we've learned so well tonight we make them stop
No one cares how you suffer after the lights go out
Take a deep breath boys
And good luck to ya
Heads high boys
our night has come"

This is a cover I did for the documentary "Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story" on the Defunctland YouTube Channel.
The film tells the story of a band, Halyx, that was created by Disney and performed at the Tomorrowland Space Stage at Disneyland during the summer of 1981.
"Hey There Boys" was a rock ballad that Halyx used to play during their set. I slowed it down for a specific scene in the film to match the emotional plot twist. After having a great response from the public and even forming a fan base, Halyx had plans to record and release all the music they had. Disney unfortunately dropped them and Halyx split up. The band crumbled and everyone went their separate ways. It even caused lead singer Lora and keyboard player Thom to get divorced.

Her dreamy, folk, and soul like music has been said to make listeners feel calm and relaxed. You most likely won't be able to resist the urge to sway back and forth! She grew up listening to various artists from the 60's & 70's. She strives to bring to life the feeling and sound of the Singer-Songwriter 60's & 70's era while also keeping it somewhat modern. You can feel and hear that she uses her songs almost like it's a diary. She shares her true thoughts and feelings through the music she creates. "Telling her story one lyric at a time" as she likes to say."

My job was to record a song called "Hey There Boys" which Halyx used to play during their show and was never released due to the band being dropped by Disney after that summer.

(Think of it like this: if you could only listen to 5 songs for the rest of your life, which 5 songs would you choose?). NOTE: By definition, a song = a piece of music with vocals, lyrics and music.1. "Expecting To Fly" by Buffalo Springfield
This song is very therapeutic for me. It either makes me tear up or gives me chills from the pure beauty of it. The string section! Are you kidding me?! You can feel the sadness and yearning through those violin tracks. Neil Young made something really special with this song.
-----
2. "Caroline, No" by The Beach Boys
Pet Sounds is a very important album for me, to the point where I wanna get a tattoo in it's honor lol.
"Caroline, No" specifically just clicks with me. I mean come on "Where is the girl I used to know?", that hit me hard.
Growing up and going through different emotions and experiences really changes someone. You reach points where you feel like a whole different person than you were 5 or 10 years earlier.
-----
3. "I Only Have Eyes for You" by The Flamingos
I heard this song for the first time at my senior prom. I was standing alone on a balcony, looking out at the streets of Hollywood, and I had this "cheesy teen movie moment". In that moment I knew that the feeling of loneliness in high school would be over soon and that I was about to start going for my dreams. Leaving behind people who didn't give me the time of day. I would soon evolve into a whole different person and my world would change. I was right!
-----
4. "And I Love Her" The Beatles
My earliest moment of having that ah ha feeling with music was this song. I was at least 5 or 6 years old, watching the movie "A Hard Day's Night" with my dad for the first time. Seeing Paul McCartney (my hero) sing on screen changed my life pretty much. I became obsessed with The Beatles and was shown a whole new world of music and other artists. The rest is history.
-------
5. "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac
This song is the definition of femininity. Pure feminine strength and passion radiates from it. You can't help but feel inspired, empowered, delicate but strong at the same time, and of course you feel like you wanna put on a shawl and twirl!
-----
(BONUS SONGS)
6. "Reasons for Waiting" by Jethro Tull
The VIOLINS at timestamp 2:22! Ughhh beauty.
-----
7. "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra
A classic. Makes me wanna dance/walk slow down a staircase all dramatic like I'm in a musical. Just a feel good song but
the lyrics aren't happy I guess? Kinda strange that it makes me happy... hmmm. haha
------
8. "Long Time Gone" by CSNY but the live version featuring Tom Jones!
You can't go wrong with any CSNY and CSN song. All incredible. This performance though, look it up on YouTube! They definitely took the song to a whole new level with Tom Jones.
------
9. "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles
Macca hitting me right in the feels pure usual. The orchestra... *chefs kiss*
------
10. "This Boy" by The Beatles
If you haven't noticed already, The Beatles are my all time favorite band. My first loves. I especially love me some early Beatles.
-----
11. "Passing Out Pieces" by Mac DeMarco
Another very "growing up moody sadness" kinda feel. "Watching my life passing right in front of my eyes. Hell of a story, oh is it boring?". "What mom don't know has taken its toll on me." "I'm passing out pieces of me, don't you know nothing comes free?"
-------
12. "The Warmth of The Sun" by The Beach Boys
Brian Wilson is obviously hands down a genius. We wouldn't have a lot of things if it wasn't for Brian.
-----
List the Top 5 songs you wish you'd written, and one reason why for each. (Any reason is viable!).
1. "Be Careful With Yourself" by Julia Jacklin
I feel like the universe knew I needed this song when it came out. Every lyric in this song, I've experienced. The conversations, feelings, everything. I should've written it first Julia!
-------
2. "Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes
This song is exactly what it feels like to be a young artist who is trying to figure out who they are supposed to be. The lyric "Or bow down and be grateful and "say sure take all that you see" to the men who move only in dimly lit halls and determine my future for me". Ending the song with "Someday I'll be like the man on screen", that's the feeling we all had/have watching our music heroes on a tv or computer.
-------
3. "My Love" by Paul McCartney
The solo just hits hard every time!
-------
4. "Beyond The Veil" by Dylan LeBlanc
This is what I feel like I hear in my head constantly when writing and recording. The mixing, arrangment style, the drums,
the guitar tones, the string section backing him up. It's smooth like butter. Extremely inspiring for me.
-------
5. "Manhattan" by Sara Bareilles
It's such a heart wrenching song. "I'll bow out of place, to save you some space for somebody new. You can have manhattan, cause I can't have you." "And so it goes, one foot after the other, till black and white begin to color in."
------
(BONUS)
6. "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times " by The Beach Boys
"I keep looking for a place to fit in, Where I can speak my mind. And I've been trying hard to find the people that I won't leave behind. They say I got brains but they ain't doing me no good, I wish they could." Relatable.
----
List what you believe are the Top 5 Greatest Songs Ever Written, and one reason why for each.
1. "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd.
Ethereal, deep, the saxophone, the harmonies, Gilmour's vocals, it's truly perfect in my eyes and ears. "Us and them, and after all we're only ordinary men"
-----
2. "If I Can Dream" by Elvis Presley...THE KING!
I think this song speaks for itself. Just listen to the lyrics. Hear the emotions. Powerful.
------
3. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys
The complexity of Pet Sounds and this song. Honestly in my opinion most of song on Pet Sounds
could be called "greatest songs ever".
----
4. "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney
Possibly the greatest love song of all time? "Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you"
------
5. "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles
The switch between gloomy and cheery is so unexpected but changed how we look at writing songs. Almost like a mini opera. I think we can all agree that the build at the end, which lands at the loud explosion of pianos, gives us all chills.
Such a genius idea.
-----
(BONUS)
6. "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller
A classic. Makes me nostalgic for a time I never experienced.
What instrument are you most proficient on? Also, do you sing at all (explain)?
I guess I'm at the same level for both guitar and bass?
How do you feel you learn best?
I'm definitely a visual learner! Words aren't enough for my brain.
Do you tend to envy other artists or feel competitive with them, or are you supportive of others?
Little bit of both. Everyone is their worst critic at the end of the day.
What are your 3 favorite artists of all time? And why?
1. PAUL MCCARTNEY
He is my comfort person. Paul is a very important voice and figure from my childhood and now adulthood. He's always someone I listen to when I need to tune out the world and fall back into that nostalgia of being a kid again, when I used to listen to Wings on my blue CD player and intensely watch the "McCartney Music Video DVD Collection" I got for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 years old.
2. The Beatles
Obviously my love for Paul McCartney is the exact same as my love for The Beatles. I mean come on, who doesn't love them?! I could go on and on about them. I'll save you the time though haha.
3. The Beach Boys
They are another band, just like The Beatles, that helped shape the music side of my brain. Their harmonies are like none other. Brian Wilson is like one of the top founding fathers of rock/pop music in my opinion. Changed the game definitely.
What emotions do you feel you most often feel the need to express through your artistic creativity?
Sadness, love, heartbreak, optimism
Is there one or more styles/genres of music that you despise/hate/can't stand?
I'm not a huge fan of the country music that's been around since the 2000's? I like Kacey Musgraves though. Her album "Golden Hour" inspired me a lot when I recorded my EP "Into The Blue".
.
Have your parents been supportive of your artistry?
YES! I'm extremely lucky and thankful that they support everything I do.
What are your thoughts or opinions on counseling/therapy/psychology?
Yes, yes, yes! We all need it honestly. If you are open and accept help, you'll benefit from it so much.
Music is very therapeutic too. You learn a lot about yourself writing.
What do you feel is the best thing about you as a person? The least best thing?
Best Thing; I'm very understanding of other. Sometimes that can bite me in the butt though.
Worst Thing: I let my insecurities get the best of me and control me a lot. The older I've gotten, the more I feel it.
Do you plan to make music your full-time career? Do you have a Plan-B in terms of a career choice? If so, what is it?
Yes! If I HAD to have a "Plan-B", it would be working at Disneyland probably haha
