Hi Everybody! 

I'm so excited that we recently released, "Loving" into the world. I remember promising you guys that I would have some album extra's and extra groovy stuff that comes along with the album, so I am going to get right to work. In this blog, I want to share with you guys some of the songs that originated during Waiting on the Tide to Change as well as provide some insight into the new tracks that never quite made it onto, "Loving".  I am looking forward to posting at least two of the tracks, that have love as their Maine message, to bandcamp. I was very happy with the way Sounds of Love turned out, so I want to share that with you guys, and reaching deep into my hat, I want to pull out an old track that's audio never quite slipped out enough into the world, titled, "It's Love". 

So without further, I am so excited to share a set list that I recently published to archive.org, titled Extra's from Waiting on the Tide to Change. Before the end of the blog, I want to talk about a song that just surfaced as the album was being released to iTunes, that I think you guys will enjoy. Thank you for staying devoted to music and staying strong. This isn't that easy! You guys are doing great. And I love you! 

Here is the set list that posted...
1.) Feeling it
2.) We Are One
3.) It's Alright
4.) Free
5.) We Are The Children
6.) One Thing is for Sure
7.) Sleep Well
8.) Sleepwalking
9.) Hold Me Tight
10.) Just Breathe
11.) After the Rain
12.) Thinking of You
13.) The City
14.) Dream On

​Feeling It
Well I'm feeling it inside now. 
And I'm feeling it all around. 
We're gonna fly now. Oh yes. 
And in the morning. 
We're gonna reminesce on good times. 
We're feeling fine now. Oh yes. 
The nightlife is alive now. 
And the life is alive at night. 
We're feeling fine now. Oh yes. 
Should you choose to feel it. 
Cuz you can feel anything you want.
We're feeling it inside now. Oh yes. 

Cuz I am in the flow tonight. 
The flow of love. Oh yes.
And love is in my heart tonight. 
It's in my mind now. Oh yes. 

And it's connected around me. 
Because we are all one. And connected. Oh yes. 
There's energy above me, energy below me, and energy inside. 
I'm talking about love now. Oh yes. 
Cuz I'm feeling it inside now. 
And I'm feeling it all around. 
And inside now. Oh yes. 
And in the morning, we're gonna reminesce on good times.
Cuz w e're feeling fine now. Oh yes.

You are in the flow tonight.
The flow of love now. Oh yes. 
And love is in your heart tonight. 
And it's in your mind now. Oh yes. 

We Are One
Lyrics
It never takes too long to tell, that everything will work itself out​​

It' Alright
Lyrics
I heard a song on the radio

Free
Lyrics
I hear a cross for help across the sea
A girl stands looking at me
With a sigh of love, she kindly offers to tell me her name
Everybody moves so quickly,
Few of us stop to really see
the things we have while we spend our time being vein

​​​​​​​​​​​Look at me, I am so lucky
Look at us, we are so lucky to be free

We Are The Children
LyricsSomedays there are cyclones
Other days there are tornados
Still often it's sunny
Isn't it funny. Isn't it funny?
Happiness can be painful
Like when you laugh without feeling connected (bad line)
Well it's the thoughts you have selected
That keep you strong through the winds of life
I am the sky you are the wind
We are the clouds we are the children
I am the stars you are the moon
We are the tree's, We are the children
Somedays we work
And we work to work it out
The more love in your heart
The less you will doubt
The less you will doubt
You are beautiful you are flawless
Like every moment without a doubt
without a doubt
You are beautiful you are faultless like every moment
without a doubt
without a doubt without a doubt
I am the sky you are the wind
We are the clouds we are the children
I am the stars you are the moon
We are the tree's we are the children
​​​

​Hold Me Tight
We are one in this crowded world, trying to find our way. 
Alone at last as the snow falls down, leaves me with so much to say. 
The rhythm of songs beats through your blood. 
Words reflecting through a sign. 
Red, blue yellow, green or blue. 1, 2, 3 counts the time. 

Chorus
So here we go again. 
Words don't mean a thing. 
Because it's all changing. 
As long as you got feeling, that's all you need. 
And a little love from the talks that we had that night. 
So as I lay down my head, I just want you to hold me tight. 
Just hold me tight. 

Moving fast, I'm on the run. Feeling so good now. 
I've been here so many times before that it almost feels the same. 
So change once. Change twice. 
Leave me feeling high.
This is what I've been looking for so let me see you dance tonight. 

So here we go again. 
Words don't mean a thing. 
Because it's all changing. 
As long as you got feeling that's all you need. 
And a little love from the talks that we had that night. 
So as I lay down my head I just want you to hold me tight. 
Just hold me tight. 

Just Breathe

After the Rain

Thinking of You

The City

Dream On
​​​​​

So this year has been a spectacular year. I think what it comes down to is you have made it so much fun for me, by giving me a net that I can toss all my love into. You have helped shape the future by continuing to write and record music and by playing side shows that inspire and help keep the writing process cumulative and active. 

I know a lot of people who love to write music and from what I can see, it really helps when there is someone there, not just from the small town you grew up in, but from halfway across the U.S. or even across the country that is helping to contribute to the music that keeps us all in a meditative state, and just basically, moving. 

It's been just about 2 years since I left New York City and moved to Maine. During the two years that we have lived here in Hermon, I have found myself writing a lot of songs. It's been a dream to take the car out and drive to studio, where we have been discussing new song ideas and recording music. I remember at the beginning we recorded a lot of covers. As time went on, I remember we recorded a lot of unreleased tracks such as Inspired By, Coming to Nashville, A Radio Broadcast, and songs intertwined with comedy such as I Met, and more! 

The way that I have written songs this year has been more or less through ideas. I would come up with an idea, such as Seal My Fate, and I would write it, more or less through improvisation. I love being able to blog because it's a place to share what I have come up with, for ideas, and I think it helps them evolve. 

I remember it was January 24th, 2014 when I wrote Loving. I remember coming home, where I stayed for 2 years, and my brother helped shape that song with a few bridge ideas and lyrics. Some of the videos that were made at that time were a lot of fun to make, and I'm excited to continue to make progress by getting back to videos and short films.

For the past two years, I kindly would remind myself how important comedy is to have in music. I would sit back and press play on various artists that I've met along the way, and one of my favorite aspects to music and entertainment is definitely comedy. I love the artists on my iPod and that I've met that know how to make you laugh. I'll often get mad at myself, and say that if I could go back, I would have started off this whole songwriting career with a good hefty album of pure comedies. 

Anyhow, I have been releasing some tracks online lately as we get closer to the album release date. I recently found a handheld recorder that I wrote tracks such as Something Else and Far From the Shore On. Intertwining love into my music has always been something that I have been very fond of doing. You know me, the guy who is love. The guy that focuses on love, and spreads love to the highest. When I found this Sony Handheld Recorder sitting on my Mom's beureu I jumped! i was stoked. It had been almost 3 years since I had seen that beautiful thing. I felt so excited to see what kind of songs were buried into the archive of my Handheld Sony Recorder. Immediately, I remembered that this handy assistant was the tool that started songs such as We Are One, Tell Me How, and a lot of songs that went unreleased that I am re releasing now with this album release such as The City, We Are The Children, and Incomplete. 

I love music. 

It's such a beautiful way to sum up all of the ways you are feeling into a few minutes of bliss. The more time that goes on, the more I feel grateful to have made it this far and to have shared all the music that I've shared with you. It really helps the writing process. The more music you write, the more you are able to analyze and compare and contrast what is good and what isn't as good. The more you write, the more you are able to lift off from a set of tracks into something new. Music is one of the most beautiful things we have on this planet and I love you because you work alongside music and all of it's many lovers. Such as comedy. 

I am excited because this year I really want to embark upon a journey with a Go Pro, and pocket full of Pro Tools and start to make short films and music videos. I've always wanted to express love and devotion through movies and music. I think the power of music's therapy is something that we love and crave. We are lifted up through music, and it helps us jump to conclusions and reach a goal that we might have in mind. Or finish a song that we have been trying to complete. I think music's energy is happy and positive and at the end of the day, we really need to be in this together and express love for one another. Let music cure us of all that may be bothering us and let us continue to love to the highest and be love, even in the toughest of moments. 

So in conclusion, I am really excited that we are releasing this record. I wanted to share a blog post of all the ideas that I've been working with for the past two years, since we first met! :-) I still remember a lot of ideas that surfaced were Little Wing, Worship You, Blue Corvette (cuz I want to buy you a car), Dirty Tennessee, E Major the Lullaby, Tree's, Let Go, Let Me Tell You That I Love You, Jokes, 100  jokes for the soul, Mona Lisa, Someday, Don't, and more! It's funny.

A lot of songs and ideas have surfaced, and I've just been doing my best to piece them together. 

I think through books and directing, I'm really going to enter into a field of love this year with music as a guide. I don't know whether it will be in New York City, Nashville, or San Diego, but I am really excited to start giving some closure to these songs and ideas that have been left incomplete for a while now. 

It reminds me of how I felt, when I first came across a song I wrote probably in 2010 titled Incomplete. Incomplete is a song that I wrote about art and the future. I'll leave you guys with Incomplete, and hope that it will help inspire you to push yourself a little bit further, even when you feel like you just can't take it anymore. 

With love and devotion, I'm going to be releasing motivational speeches and really working for the good hearted people we have in this world. That is you!

You are loved, and I am excited that this is just the beginning.

Incomplete (written in 2010 in Auburn, NH)

Everybody's got a place to go.
Everybody's got a place they wanna go
We're dancing through the prom in awe. 
Bones dancing through the prom and all we see. 
Paints dripping on the walls alot.
Arts dripping through the walls and into my bones. 
Another day another dream.
Another mission, it's a feeling I can't believe. 

And I'm just waiting on love.
And I'm just waiting on love. 

I once lost a man who was very close to me.
I once lost a man who was very close to me. 
I know when I have kids, I'm gonna treat them the way I want to be treated. 
My father meant a lot to me.
He treated me the way I want to be treated. 
When I have kids, I cannot wait to give them what they want and spoil them.

And I know that I'm not gonna be incomplete.
I'm not gonna be incomplete. 

Hey, everybody! I hope that you are all having a great summer. These days have been very meaningful as we get closer and closer to the release of a new album. I have been very busy writing new tracks and coming up with new ideas for future projects and albums. I am so excited that this August, August 26th, our new album titled "Loving" is going to be released to iTunes! For over 2 years, we spent a lot of time recording the tracks and adding drums, bass, and keys to the tracks. The album was recorded in Orono ME and was produced, mixed and mastered by Nikolas Dimoulas, at the Zen Den.

Nik is an incredible artist who has spent many years studying music production at The University of Maine in Orono. Nik is an established singer/songwriter who has a lot of music for sale on the internet as well as music videos and various videos of live performances and original songs. One of my favorite songs that Nik has written is Chicago, which is a bluesy hit in the key of A. Chicago will be available for sale on CD Baby the same day that "Loving" is released and I know you guys are going to love it! Nik's creative sound is similar to that of what you would hear when listening to Sublime and even classic bands such as Green Day or Brand New. A lot of his songs are written with and about love, and it is always a productive and fulfilling experience when we are in the studio. Many thanks go to Nik and his family for helping to make this album a success. 

In this post, I want to give you guys an idea of what we are releasing here to iTunes this month. I want to share the track list as well as the album art for the album. When we first started to record this album, I had just gotten home from a 2 year recording spree in New York City. I was blown away by the fact that I had met so many amazing artists, that are pursuing a career in the music industry just like myself. I did not expect to meet THAT many incredible people who all love music and find peace in contributing to the music industry with sensational albums, relaxing sound cloud pages, and music videos for everyone to listen to and share. A lot of this record was recorded with the relaxing realization that a lot of these artists that I had met are working hard to help inspire and are eagerly seeking inspiration themselves. So without further adue, here is the track list! 

1.) Intro
2.) Loving 
3.) Addition to Love
4.) Tearing Down The Walls (Matt Pless Cover) 
5.) Moments
6.) Strummin' 
7.) Go Now
8.) Blue Jeans 
9.) Road to Redemption
10.) Drowning (Miranda Inzunza Cover)
11.) She Said
12.) Hats
13.) They Do
14.) Call it Art (Matt Pless Cover) 
15.) Music

Something that I love most about this record is that there are going to be a lot of tracks that didn't make it on the track list, but that will act as almost a Side B.  Over the next few weeks, I am going to be posting some of these rare tracks to sites like Bandcamp and YouTube. A few tracks that you guys haven't heard such as "It's Love" and "Blessed" are going to be making there way to a side project we might just end up calling Loving Part 2 that will be available for streaming in a very short amount of time. 

Check out the album artwork! 

​

The album artwork was designed by Isaac Wright and I love his artwork. He has helped design many of Nik's album covers as well as the Black Bear Beers as well as the cover of the Yoga Place in Orono. I think the style of art goes well with the album and I love how professionally stamped this album is.

With an album release party booked on August 26th, I am excited to share some tracks that didn't make it on the record. A few tracks that I am excited to release here in just a matter of time will be, Blessed, Hold Me Tight, Sounds of Love, It's Love, and more tracks such as Bunstein, and a few covers that never made it on the record. 

Thank you so much for visiting the site. Stay tuned as we will be releasing more tracks as time goes on. This is just the beginning! And it is with many fuzzy feelings that I end by saying, I'm in love with the beginning. 

Stay tuned! 

Love, 
Zach

What's up world!

Today, we are one step closer to releasing the record we have been working on for over two years. 

The road that has lead me to this moment in time has been long and winding, however there has been plenty of good times and memories that have helped me to become inspired and focused on the path ahead. 

I am grateful that many ideas are making there way to the table, as I have spent a lot of time covering music and writing new poems. 

Some of the new songs that I think are going to end up making in the world of music that we love, will be The Secret, Sounds of Love, and probably some of the older jams such as Music or even tracks like Moments or Loving. 

While heading down to Jersey this past week, I wrote a love song in the car, that I have been crafting and mastering with each day. 

I want to take this moment to thank you for staying strong and writing songs. It's important to remember how helpful music is, and how it can help us cope through this life that we are in together.  

With only days away from an album release and a big announcement,

I have been excited to blog and to start sharing some of the new songs that I have been writing.

Throughout the days here, I am going to start calling a lot of these songs that I have written complete, by posting both the lyrics and the audio/video the internet. 

It seems that after we moved to Maine, a lot of ideas and melodies would come to mind, but it seems like I keep having difficulties mastering and finalizing the songs. I feel like often, I may find it hard to be so far away from all of the amazing people that I've met along the way. A lot of times, I've found that is a community effort that helps bring an album or a record to life. It's the experience that we have together that makes songs so beautiful. 

So, thank you for taking the time to visit the blog. 

And stay tuned as we start to release finalized versions of songs. 

I suppose it is safe to say that they will be finalized version 1, take 1 releases of these tracks I've been excited to share with you guys for so long.

Thanks again guys! One Love. You know that's what I'm all about. 

Be love. 

Zach

You're back!

Visit www.zrobb50.blogspot.com for my latest blog. 

Good evening, world.

I am so grateful that we have another show upon us. 

I have been thinking with thoughtful care, about how I am going to go about the show. I mean, everyone wants to hear a good show right? You don't buy tickets to see someone perform, if the music isn't going to be good. I mean, music takes fine skill, practice, and most importantly love to put on a good show. So thankfully, I have been writing a lot of new songs and I am really excited to share with you some of the new songs I've written about love and all the groovy feelings of love around us, at every moment.

Writing music this year has been going great. Millions of new ideas and songs are joining the basket of songs, every day. Spring is almost here, it's been a long winter, and now we get to break free from the depression, and relax under a warm sun, with feelings of sprinklers, green grass, beach blankets, and picnics. I have the perfect song for these kinds of moments. You're having an epiphany, and the love that is spread, comes over you like a wave of change, as you are feeling fulfilled in changing, and receiving more satisfaction than ever. 

I am so excited for this show!

The song, titled "Listening" has really made some progress. 

After recording over 20 minutes of Listening, I found myself chuckling a bit and coming to the conclusion that I am onto a few new awesome ideas! Not only do I have a book in progress, but I have this awesome idea and story in mind that involves a group of individuals on an adventure through roller coasters and subways and working there way to time square for like some, super, groovy, epic show or something. Often times, I feel like a narrator. It's as if I am sort of an observer, "listening" from the sideline, and telling a story two people, madly in love, who are falling into the most adorable and powerful of loves. It's so cool to think about how with in this love, when you work hard enough, and are always creating new songs, products, books, thoughts, and ideas, finally a mutual excitement and overwhelming of feelings occurs when you ask, "Does anyone have any requests?" 

It would be a dream of mine, to be able to provide you with at least, two new songs at my set this March. I hope that you are able to make it, and if not, don't worry, because we will be streaming live soon for your listening pleasure. As I sit here, in love, I think to myself, what two songs are ready, have been written, and are going to be it factor kinds of songs? Well, at this stage in my life, I know that comedy is important. Providing you with a good comic set, and songs that really move those stomach muscles, is important. I'm so happy that I've found music that has me falling into my steering wheel laughing, and puts me in a good mood, like only a genius can. I'm quite sure that I can bring back some old songs as back ups if all else fails. For example, I said to myself the other day, a great song to play would be Sunny Day, or maybe Write and Turn The Page, songs that have yet to be professionally recorded, but have a strong presence and have found there way through the worldwide web with love and through each wire that is connecting through our telephone wires, and even the invisible ones up in the air.

New songs, is the essence of 2016. I mean, music is our go to, and there is no doubt, that developing new songs in moments where we are feeling fulfilled, happy, and successful is what the dream of life is all about. Love, happiness, and giving back. 

I'm sure that I will end up opening with a bit of, "Listening", pausing and letting the time build into what will be a great show. Having a ready and well thought out comedy would really make the show go well, and I am sure that that can be done. Songs such as Loving, Magazines, After the Rain, We are One, Nothing is Real, Sunday Morning, these songs will make there way through. I am so excited, because the song Freedom is most definitely going to make a debut on the set. Receiving messages from the outside world and fulfilling wishes, and dreams is what it's all about.

You're in a love, so true, where when the world is telling you what they want to hear, you are able to open up your mind to a whole new pallet of songs, that will shine with the light bulb and make there way onto your pallet like the best of songs always do. You just have to wait, receive and keep staying strong, doing your best, and waiting for those moments of 4 - 5 songs entering your mind and making there way into the recorder recording your sound. 

Some of the best songwriters, start with loving others, and listening to what it is they want. Freeing your mind of worries, doubts, and stress and just tuning into a heartfelt experience that you have with someone, can make all the difference in your life and even change it. Love, has never had more power than it does right now. These wishes and dreams, are coming true and it is something to be really positive about. All is going well, and this show is just the beginning of a series of shows where we can talk and beat the pulp out of music as much as we want. For this, I am grateful and know for sure it's going to be an awesome show.

Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you at the show. 

Love,
Zach

As time goes on, I am searching for more and more ways to better my blog and think up new ideas that will be of interest to people. For now, I want to chat about New Hampshire and the many incredible people I met along the way.

New Hampshire is a neat state. Not far from Boston and complete with an epic music scene, New Hampshire is a great place to be raised.

Having lived in Auburn, NH for over 21 years, I often miss the quiet and even rich atmosphere. If you drive through Auburn, you'll find attractive spots such as Massabesic Lake and a bar or two that has live music on the edge of town. Every morning, we would pass through Massabesic Lake on the one and only Chester Rd. Chester Rd is a beautiful scenic road that is well promoted by the town and has City Hall as well as cozy parking locations to watch over the lake. Beyond the lake and high class school district, the thing that I loved most about being raised in Auburn NH is the many awesome people that I went to school with. I hope one day to return to Auburn and sing my songs on top of the famous rock that looks over the whole lake.

Moving on from Auburn, Manchester is where I met a whole bunch of people as well.

With groovy music venues such as MIlly's Tavern and Raxx Billiards, Manchester's music scene was always booming with awesome sounds.

In between Auburn and Manchester, you'll find Tupelo Music Hall where there was always an entertaining crowd and friendly folks. 

Hi everyone!

Happy Holidays!

This holiday season I want to chat about an artist that I recently had the pleasure of meeting in New York and who is shaping the future with her unprecedented music style. 

Piece By Piece is just one of the songs off Megan Talay's latest EP, Piece By Piece.  Given that this is Megan's first EP to post to iTunes, the ratings and feedback regarding her innovative and original musical style are all entirely positive and people are raving! 

While listening to Megan Talay's EP, Piece by Piece, you notice that Underside is one of the tracks that carries the EP. Underside is one of those tracks that sends goosebumps souring down your arms and stands the hair straight up on the top of your head. With a connection to The Beatles, I really love Underside and all that you hear while streaming the track. From the intro guitar lick, to the one of a kind, Talay, key change, Underside is hit! It brings you, and invites you on a swaying journey from start to finish. I highly recommend it. Excellent song. 

Immediately after Underside follows my favorite track on the EP, Forever in My Hand. It is rare that you come across lyrics that are this beautiful and this relate able. The song paints a picture about life and asks excellent questions regarding the grand scheme of it all.  After listening to the song, I found the line "To leave behind a cog that winds in the machine" to be one of the most brilliant ways to wind down a song with lyrics that are already unmatched and excellent.  Leaving you breathless and wanting more, Forever In My Hand, is another incredible song. 

Piece By Piece is a good example of how positive of an effect music can have on the industry, when there is a lot of time and devotion that went into recording. Megan's music is inspiring and well thought out as there are not many EP's I know of for sale that are as catchy and addicting. From Light The Way to Just Fine, Megan provides us with 5 chart topping songs. Each song lending something new and sharing an insight into the world of music that not only gives us goosebumps, but helps us through each day.

I still remember meeting Megan for the first time and listening as she tore up the stage with a groundbreaking and pop/rock style. I can feel goosebumps all around as I begin to express my feelings and gratitude to have met such a world class artist. Much love and warmth goes to Megan as she is working tirelessly and harder than most out there on tour and in the studio. Bringing together musicians for the great purpose of making music, Megan is showing us all that music is something we can work on together that will help cure us and soothe our souls. Without further a due,  I ask you to go on a lend a caring ear to a sound that is so good, you won't even believe it.  A sound that is right on and to the point. A sound that is lyrical and friendly. A sound that others just cannot create quite the same. A sound that is, Talay. It has been a pleasure listening to her EP and her recent success is heart warming and I hope that you find the same peace and serenity while listening.


To hear more of Megans music and to see when she will be playing in a city near you, please visit her website at http://www.megantalay.com . The next show is tonight at The Local NYC in Long Island City! 


Thanks for reading!

Much love. 
​

"As I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your philosophies
And as I...
don't wanna be fool-hearted"

From the track "In My Head".
