Here's a cover of "The One That Got Away" by Weezer featuring a good friend of mine, Thomas Johnson (AKA Too Short Pants.) I posted a voice memo recording of this song online and Thomas really liked it. After a long relationship of mine recently ended, I decided it was a good time to put this out into the world. After we recorded this, tragedy struck Thomas' family and he lost his aunt Grace. She is survived by four children, and there is a gofundme to support them in this time. I'm releasing this song early in hopes to help raise funds for them, so please give if you can. The link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/dgz6p-jones This song is releasing as a b-side to my next single, "Avoid the Void", on October 20th. #musician #piano #newmusic #cover #weezer #collab #acoustic

This is the second single from my upcoming album Pont Neuf, and it's very special to me. TW: depression I wrote this one about depressive episodes and the feeling of isolation (the void.) It's something that comes in waves for me; after I finished writing it, I fell into one of those episodes. Much of this year has been dealing with navigating these thoughts. If you have moments of being stuck in your own head and feeling down, this song is for you. Don't be afraid to reach out for help, we all need a hand when we've fallen in a hole. With that being said: If you are feeling alone and having thoughts of self harm—whether or not you are in crisis—or know someone who is, don’t remain silent.

'The Moon', from the forthcoming record Pont Neuf. My new single is a bittersweet track called 'The Moon', just in time for the Strawberry Full Moon! This lead single was written about learning to heal from the loss of a friend, laced in lunar metaphor. I started writing the chorus on acoustic guitar and it morphed into a piano tune. My new album Pont Neuf is a love letter to chamber pop. Records such as The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers', Yusuf / Cat Stevens' Tea For The Tillerman, and Weezer's OK Human heavily influenced this project. I like to call this one a trojan horse of sad songs, with themes including depression, nature, and climate change. Perfect for a rainy day...
