My latest track just released, you can listen to it on most streaming platforms. I had a lot of fun singing this one. It gave me old Paramore vibes.
This song like many others was written for my nieces doll’s band. Hope you like it!
More music comes out on Sunday (My Birthday!) so please check it out, especially the EP with songs from Vermin.
Since it’s my birthday this month, I’ve got a lot of music scheduled to release. Most of these are songs that were written either last year, or during the middle of the pandemic.
Love Song is the newest track coming out after my cover of Edge of Seventeen, and T-Rex in a Toddlers Body. The songs releasing later this month are titled The Last Song (March 23rd), and Loneliness (March 26th). I will also be releasing an EP on March 26th, titled Songs from Vermin which features 5 songs from the novel series along with a bonus alternative version of one of the songs.
The Last Song and Loneliness, are both songs written based off and set in the world of my nieces dolls. Although they might not sound like it. I’d like to post a lyric video for each of them, and am hoping to have one ready to release for the same week of their release, but we’ll see. I just finished recording for a series, and have some other projects on the go here, so hopefully I can get something put together.
Loneliness is the most upbeat out of the tracks. I had a lot of fun recording that one. Hopefully you’ll like it! I get that one stuck in my head a lot.

I recorded this way back and finally decided to release it since it’s my birthday month. I actually recorded two versions of this song, one with the original lyrics and another with lyrics translated into the language used by the Vermins in my novel. I don’t think I’ve released that version yet, but I may sometime later this month.
I’ve got another track coming out on March 11th, called Love Song. Hope you’ll check it out!

I posted the poem for Glitter back in 2020. I’d also recorded myself singing it while playing guitar in my studio after a recording session but never shared it…until now!
So, here is Glitter:
Ardin Patterson, Sept. 1st, 2020.
I once cut my arm
Just so I could breath
Cause my lungs were filled right up
With something heavy
And it made me sick
I thought I might throw up
I didn’t but I wish I had
I didn’t but I wish I never lied
I didn’t but I wish I had
I didn’t but I wish I wouldn’t smile.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)
I wrote it in my own blood
The letters of my name
Cause my reflection was all screwed up
I didn’t look the same.
Inside me rose a panic
It fluttered, it crept in deep.
Dug a hole inside my body
Where my heart used to beat.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)
Let me out
Hear me crying
On the bedroom floor
Little fears have eaten me alive
From the inside
Like an apple devoured by worms.
Here I am broken
Needing someone to hold me up
But I chased them
With fire
Said I had it all figured out.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)

As promised, I’ve released new music. I tend to sit on songs for months (sometimes longer) before releasing them. Along with I Lost My Head,…
Within this swamp land
The mist it hovers
It creates circles
Around your brothers
It lingers softly
Beneath your feet
It looms and it hovers
Along it creeps
Circling, circling
Lingering
It’s lingering
Circling, circling
Lingering
It’s lingering
(Ah, it draws you near/Within this atmosphere you feel no fear)
Smoke hangs in the air
And draws you near
Within this atmosphere
You feel
No fear
Under birch trees
And foggy skies
You forget that
We all die
Under birch trees (Circling, circling. Lingering, it’s lingering)
The air is clear (Circling, circling. Lingering, it’s lingering)
Except the mist that hangs (Circling, circling. Lingering, it’s lingering)
It’s always here
It’s always here
It’s always here
I wrote this song while thinking about the swamp my friends and I used to hang out in as teenagers. I’d get so many mosquito bites, but there was something pretty about all birch trees, trilliums and the mist on the water that always sparked our imagination.
This song is dedicated to them.
I know you and me Could be More than two I know you and me Could be I don't want to say goodbye To you I know you and me Could be Ah (Could be) I know you and I Could be More than two I know you and I Could be (be, be) I just want to be With you I know you and I Should be I know you and I Could be More than two And I think you and I Would make a good team I don't want to say goodbye To you I want us To be Don't you want to Stay with me? Ah, ah, ah (You and me) You and Me I think you and me Should be More than two
I wrote this song back in university. It’s one of those songs that I never wrote the lyrics out for, and recorded on my phone while alone in my room. I rerecorded it in my studio after it was built, and although I intended to release it when I released Heart and Juliet, I waited.
I initially wrote this song about someone I had been close to, while we were drifting apart. Maybe one of these days I’ll share the original rough version of the song that I recorded with my phone, although the lyrics are different and much sadder, whereas this version is a little more hopeful.
All right, time for Peter’s playlist! Out of everyone I think he has the most happy/chill songs on his list (well aside from Julius). I tend to listen to his playlist when I’m sketching, or writing flash back scenes, he’s also got a lot of older songs on his playlist. I’d definitely say his songs are more feel good versus Roland and Dianna’s.
This last song is both Peter and Roland’s playlists. Every time I listen to it, it makes me laugh and I usually doodle pictures of them doing stupid stuff while I listen to it.
