    The definition of the word Solivagant is a solitary wanderer.
    Last year, I wrote a note and stuck it on the wall of my office where I could see it - that part of the promotion for my EP would be, "I'm a rambling broken heart." I'm not sure if I knew the word Solivagant yet, but when I came upon it, it fit perfectly. Life has a way of showing you what you need when you least expect it.

    This summer, I realized it was time to break out on my own in this big city of New York and explore the sounds that have been bubbling up inside me. I also knew it was time for me to share a more vulnerable side of myself. Well, life showed up, hit me over the head and broke my heart, and I said to myself, now's the time.

    On September 11th, I went into the studio with Ian to record the song we'd been playing for some years now and finally finished the year prior. I listen to the song to see when it'll be finished. This one took longer than I thought it should've. The process to finish the other two songs was organized and efficient. I had the honor of calling some of my favorite musicians and favorite people to play on this record, and when I tell you, I couldn't be happier with these songs, I really couldn't.

    I'm also ecstatic that YOU took the time out to come here and listen to these songs too! The goal is to make you feel something, and I hope they do. Feelings are not always comfortable or convenient, but they are something that I've learned I must face in order to be the best person I want to be.

    Thank you for your love and support.

    -JB

Hard To Love 04:13
What is it about me, that makes me hard to love? What do I show the world that makes the weary of, The way I talk, the way I move, the way I love so hard it's true What is it about me that makes me hard to love How can you be frightened by the things that you don't know? I often get excited about the chance to love. I pay the cost, I listen hard, I'll fight for you like no one's done So what is it about me that makes it hard to love me What is it about me that makes it hard? What is it about me that makes me hard to love?

By Your Side 04:59
I will never be your one and only I will always be worthwhile I will never hold you like I dreamed of I was never meant to be by your side Glances, dreams and con - conversations Songs I'll never sing again Words have lost all power, compassion When I realized us will never end Because I was never meant to stand By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side I was never meant to be By your side Nights were filled with long, long conversation Faces hurt from smiling all night Our words were never lies or fake but what's now We always knew we'd never be side by side Days I beam with hope of one day seeing The face that often invades my dream By day, by night, in hour, second, second and minute Time has been my guide to show me That I was never meant to be By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side I was never meant to be By your side Who knew that all this time, getting to know each other Would end with us not speaking? From days when your voice was the only one I longed to hear Just wanting you near And hoping for me the one who would be By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side By your side I was never meant to be By your side

With You 06:38
I miss the highs with you Goodbye's from you How it was so Easy to reflect with you Explore with you Unearth my molten core My world will go on turning But what's a day if not with you? Every time I touch you it's electric I was watching falling leaves waiting for your knock I was catatonic until your lips my neck, kinetic We didn't know what to expect But my heart still yearns for your tender touch I'm lost without, without your love My mind can't see a time when life Has you away from my side What does the night hold if not a flame? What am I without a fingertip at your nape? To explain the hunger no plate can contain To speak it plainly I want you like the air needs rain I want your love, I miss your touch, baby Why'd you have to - it up, tell me Making love was fun for us baby Come back, won't you come back
