THE PERFORMANCE
EXPERIENCE THE SONGS
Read first. Then press play.
1. HONEST
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
I hope this song reminds people that they should lie. Being honest gets you nowhere. So I’d like for more people to lie because that’s really what gets people ahead. Pay close attention to the metaphor between the lying and the truth telling.
LISTEN FOR THIS LYRIC
“The bible might have said thou shall not cheat steal or lie. But life don’t play fair, so neither do I”
FROM THE ARTIST
Written when I was 16 on a walmart guitar
The first song I ever publicly released
Played in drop D tuning
A Final Word From Blake
“I’ve played thousands of shows, but this one really made me slow down. The energy of the room. The intrigue from the audience. It felt less like I was performing for them and more like I was performing with them.”
