Hey, y'all! My website is back up and running. It feels like it's been forever. So what is new?
Well...

Lots of stuff...

What Can Love Do (The Demos) was recently released to both noisetrade.com and archive.org. For a link to the music visit my blog at www.zrobb50.blogspot.com. Also we have a new album we are releasing within months titled The Drake. I did an interview with a dear friend of mine this past winter and the interview will surface shortly. There have been bits of pieces of the interview that have been surfacing but we will talk about that later. 

I have been working with covers lately. I think the reason, is because inspiration has taken it's course and people have inspired me to bring back old covers and also to start working on new covers. Some of my latest Brett Dennen and Beatles covers are available on my YouTube channel.

When I first came up with the idea to start releasing more covers, I immediately thought of the covers I did when I was younger. Covers that have posted in the past include covers by artists Jason Mraz, Allen Stone, Ben Harper, and Brand New. I remember listing a few covers over at my other blog and listing artists such as John Mayer, Rob Thomas, Fleetwood Mac, and more. Those covers never got posted as videos though. Anyway, I began to rack my brain of who I have been covering lately. You know, new music! I know that some artists that I have covered lately include Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Jason Mraz, Kesha, and more. A lot of that music is pop. But I really like to test the waters of alternative and country too. Music is great, and one awesome suggestion I gave to listeners in my latest YouTube video of me covering Because by The Beatles was to press play on The Beatles album titled Love. Love is an experience and a great way to open your mind and focuso on the love that's all around us.

Climbing a Mountain
​
Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m 

They say if you want peace, all you have to do is plant a tree. 
It shows a world that's not so bad, and love is only a matter of time
And all the mountains lead me to your door
So I climb with ruffled shoes upon this loving mothers floor

The secret lies in the music
Where every dream, every footprint, paves a path to travel on
But if love, if love is all there ever was
Why am I still so alone in a world that may seem so small
We fall away

So I walk and climb a mountain
I release myself from worry that would otherwise hold me back.
And the explanation, lies in the silence. 
Where it's you I fall in love with. 

 Chorus


Music can be a lover
a guide that guides us on the path we're traveling on
If I had a story, well I'd tell it,
And it would be about how you've got it all
So I walk down the path I'm traveling on
And at the end, all that surrounds me are thoughts of you. 
And so I cherish, and bow down. 
Because the essence of life, is that you said we're eternal now. 
So why not write. Just write it all down. 
Cuz you said, if life is forever, than I'll be with you when you fall. 
Where there are pictures, 
That hold the best of washed away memories. 
But the spirit, the spirit lives on. 
And at the bottom of a tree, you'll find a crumbling song. 
You see the rocks. You see the paint. 
You feel that who you once lost. Is still with you along the way.
You see I tried. I sweat out the love. 
Because now, a tree is planted, And your memory lives on. 

​When coming across a great book of love, I realized the power of not only motivation, but also meditaion that this grand book helped me to see. 
In this speach here, I want to not only discuss the power of overcoming your own thoughts, but just how powerful it can be when you reach for a dream. 
This speach here, is written to not just push you to your goals but to see the light as invincible. 
Through great wisdom and listening ears, I have developed a taste for many of todays most lucrative artists. 
Artists that have a passion for helping and a passion for coming together to create great experiences. 
These artists have not only shown me the power of love, but they have shown me where it starts.
Care. 
With love and compassion, we may see our dreams as in reach and realize that the more love we spread, the more love we recieve. 
I recently wrote a poem that turned into a melody through time titled my Love Rap. In it, I expressed the great power of reinvention and forgiveness.
Together these motivating icons may be of help in our daily struggle. 
When reinventing ourselves, try and seek what you already know and stretch yourself further to start something new. 
Use these methods as a tool to become something new. 
For example, it dawned on me today while writing a relaxing poem, that I wanted to start to make a movie. 
I often fall back onto meditation as a way to just escape and relax. 
I once wrote a song, Just Breathe about this great idea. 
Just Breathe. 
Relax, take a deep breathe, and let it all fall away. 
Understand the power of forgiveness and love yourself.
Stretch and reach at a love that is possible. 
Use your voice and your talents as a way to work hard and accelerate the pace in which you write and create. 
Music is best to be made in an atmosphere of mutual feelings and love, which is why I am grateful to  be writing at such a high speed lately. 
I have found your work to not only be inspiring but uplifting. 
I've been working around the clock to develop new ideas, poetry, and melodies to create a sensation and something that we all get. 
Love. 
Take this moment to realize just how powerful love can be. 
Music, motivation, wisdom, strength, these are all characteristics in a great movement I am trying to create. 
Through peace and relaxation I have found ways in which dialogue can sort of add to a story or spice it up. 
An example would be rhythm and time. 
When combining these aspects into a poem, you may find that your wordplay and your play on words simplifies things and helps to create a relaxing atmospher. 
Metastopholies. 
Relaxing poetry and new waves of creation.
Love and light. 
See the future as inevitable. 
Progress, view it as now. 
Don't stress, relax. 
And when trying to write something new,
intertwine those shapes and colors you once may have fixated upon.
Those fascinating thoughts of 18th century composers and vibrations of love. 
Shapes, colors, waves, chord structures, rhythm ,space and time.
These are all ways you help you jump into a succesfull atmosphere, or at least to help excite the mind and create something tangible. 
Wordplay.
I love when writing songs about love, and yada yada
when I stumble upon a set of words that makes the audience react. 
For example, if somebody was singing about a water fountain, you may feel yourself in the fountain. 
Or if someone were singing about chocolate, you may taste the chocolate from here. 
I think often times people will write songs using tangible ideas such as Novocaine, Sleeping Pill, or Legal Cannabis as a way to help you recieve your fix right there on the spot. 
Theraputic music that helps you through each day.
Which is why I am excited to present to you a new song that I wote today called, Medicine Ball. 

​Hey guys, I just wanna promote some music from the one and only, legend, most amazing singer songwriter I know!

I feel so lucky to have met Jennifer Sullivan, as she is not only a legend but pure genius. Her two albums and two singles for sale on iTunes, Somethin' New, The Extended Play EP, Black Cat, and My Boyfriend is Pretend are incredible! Not only are they amazing, but they are unique in there own way. I personally LOVE the Extended Play EP because it is very relaxing and soothing. If I were you, I would go ahead and buy the tracks Scatterbrain, Make Up, Crook, and Nostalgic, for, literally, nothing out there compares. 
The music video for My Boyfriend is Pretend is sensational too. Jennifer's ability to draw the listener in with impecible style and extraordinary compassion has had me feeling uplifted since we met. I have found Jennifer has a passion for love as well as just great music and comedy. I fell in love with Jennifer immediately. I was turned on by her sound, her outgoing personality, and her loving charisma. Having music that some could compare to the best geniuses that have walked our planet such as Janis Joplin and Beethoven, not yet for sale, this musical icon has music and sounds that have not yet made there way to our ears that put goosebumps on every inch of our skin and could even move us.  I remember falling in love with some of those freshly written tracks such as Freedom and Beehive. Songs that are so good, you couldn't even believe it. Jennifer is a legend!
Having worked with other artists in collaboration as well as thoroughly during college and more, I became very inspired by her ability to convert chords in E such as A and B and play them uniquely through chords such as F#, C#, and G# on one of her first acoustic albums, Earth Heart. The album streams flawlessly from the gripping and almost haunting Black Cat, to the friendly and chilling Sleeping Pill. Everything about Earth Heart is flawless in every way, from tracks such as Put My Fire Out to even, the crazy Oh Rain. I still remember driving home from the on ramp, with Oh Rain playing, and feeling feelings for it because every inch of my skin had goosebumps, I think even the car that was 20 feet in front of me had chills, and almost missed their turn. I love Jennifer's focus on good music. Earth Heart is so good. Tracks such as French Kiss will leave you wanting more and cozyng up to her adoreable sound. Check it out. My favorite track is I've Been Dreaming. She has a way with the backwards beat. It is mega cool. I think that the bridge in I've been dreaming, is one of my favorite Jennifer Sullivan quotes. It will go down in history as one of those awesome and entertaining quotes that you cherish when you love someone. The way she mensions baby genius would have guys like me nearly losing conciousness when she is around. She is a role model. 
Jennifer has inspired the way I view brands such as converse and has provided a since of love and good vibes when I'm getting ready to put on an old Johnny Cash record or just chillax to some Hendrix. She even has beautiful photography skills that are off the chain too. Some of her photagraphs with records and artists such as The Doors, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Eminem, Sheryl Crow, Prince, lol, are some of my favorites. I even love the way she sits indian style with a musical mind, like only an incredible genius can do. I have felt at times that that is like a perfect Jennifer Sullivan logo, or something. She's that good! 
Jennifer's Nashville sound, is exploding on every level. I have yet to meet anybody with a friendly sound that helps guide and conduct todays society through podcasts, shows, side projects and more. Her podcasts provide a wonderful insight into the far beyond her years mind that is Jennifer Sullivan. With an intelligence for motivational speaking and music, her podcast had me smiling and feeling ready for the day when I listened to it. Her passion and work ethic is astonishing and I have found that people gravitate to her hard word and devine intervention. She's so good that she speaks with excitement and generosity. WIth all of the music events going on in Nashville, I loved the way she lets you know what's going on where, and does it with such knowledge that she is already ready for her next line and question. Her outgoing personality and friendly love has me so excited to share an EP with you guys this month. I could not see my music excelling if it were not for her. I mean, sure my music would slowly progress and would build each day, but I feel like since I met her, I can press play on my music and really bring it somewhere that helps us all and makes us feel something. I love Jennifer, and I want you guys to buy her music and support her music career. There is a bookstore here in Bangor that would probably sell out, given they just offered us a show. But that's something we'll talk about later. 
If you guys have not checked out Somethin' New yet please do. The mix of sax's, bass, vocals, and the whole band is just entirely relaxing. I am so in love with those tracks. She is a sweetheart. 
It sounds so good and still gives me goosebumps to this day. It just couldn't get better, with the way she thinks up these really up beat and curing songs. All of Somethin New is very catchy. Each track slides gracefully into one another from Hill Country all the way to Michael. The up beat tempo's in I'll Never Know, Somethin New, The Beach, and Nothing Left are so much fun to listen too. Nothing Left, being one of my favorites. Soon after that she slides into Autumn Moon, taking the tempo down a notch but still keeping that catchy melody that reminds me of Lucky. As Leo's Raggae Rhythm sends chills down our arms, she remains one of the best song writers I met in New York as she drifts into the upbeat Urban Cowgirl. Out With A Bang, is one of the best songs,in my opinion it says, because it connects the other tracks perfectly in this sort of 4 song unbelievable jam packed 12 minutes of music. The song in my opinion sort of says, look at how much work we've done, now let's go out with a bang. From the lyrics to it's Key Change, I think it is one of the best songs on the album. She is everything I love, and I can not express how grateful I am to have met her. It is funny, because I have always dreamt of actually a meeting a girl like her, and finally it actually happened. I love Jennifer's style and friendly conductions. I think she is a role model and I can't wait to deepen our friendship as it always brings new light and hope into each moment. I love you!

Thanks for reading my blog guys!
Check out Jennifer Sullivan's music and spread it. Her music has helped me in so many ways and it is my wish that it does the same for you. I know she would appreciate some love and shout outs y'all. Keep the momentum up and keep spreading love!

Love,
Zach

Hey you guys! I am so excited to share with you my latest album. I have put it together after many months of listening to your music and writing new songs for the world to hear. I felt so grateful that I recently acquired a Taylor guitar, and it sort of dawned on me that I should get an audio interface so that I can start to make the sound, sound more professional, and kind of like that in the room sound.

​So, thank you for reading. Here is the track list... Stay tuned for more updates, music, and blog posts!

1.) Due Time
2.) Taxidermy
3.) Seal My Fate
4.) Love Rap
​5.) Something in the Way You Move
6.) Climbing a Mountain
7.) Take it Off

​Coming soon!

Fomerly: ​Immediately it came to me that life is but a dream
Spelling out for the sake of poetry as if I'm on TV. 
A creative flow is best on a canvas of this nations art. 
Motivating and leading through a hurricane, some may call the joan of arc. 
Elevating the mind, elevating the thoughts and the seratonin in your brain. 
While sitting on my bed, 2016 sheltered by a chilly rain. 
A dence fog rolls in, while shimmering rain drops rent a room in your head. 
With a focus on love, and heart that pours, I press play on she said. 
Connecting with the outside, diligently, while playing with a ouija board. 
I ask myself, what is next, while inspiration pours and pours. 
Push yourself, while reinventing how you reach. 

Currently:
I walk into a scene and I see a chevy and a plot
I ask is this reality or is this just the start
The checker board it cracks, 1,2,3
And the director is sitting at the edge of the court, patiently
Flowers and roses line the sidewalk fervently
Music city is lit up in Nashville, Tennessee
Magically, the trapeze artist plays circus tunes on top of me
The ring of fire is burning excruciatingly, what a dream. 

So when you feel love you gotta be all about it.
And the music that you make has got to be magic.
Innovating and creating all for the sake of love.
Living each day to the highest power. 
Because love is rare and love is unique.
They say love is quality, and love is sleak. 
Love is lucrative and love is creating your dream. 
Mixing and morphing and bending the rules. 
Loving and Laughing creating jokes through drools.
It affects you, like the power of a tune.
They way the words are thought, the way the melody sounds. 
They you craft it is important so you gotta drown out.
The bad from the good and rise above.
Live each day like your last and the rest will pan out.
The more love you spread, the more love you recieve.
And the more you think of love, the more love will come to me. 

Motivation can be a strength
It's realizing your goals and your weaknesses
Seeing the future as a mear blessing
And reaching at a love we can accomplish
When something good comes to you
You've got to be your own best friend
Realize your dreams may be right around the bend
When each day is simply a reinvention
Stretch yourself to add something new and creative
Ask yourself where God may come into play love
And be a part of the world in this brand new day 
Believe not question the authority of yourself
And rise above any thoughts that may tell you otherwise
Never stop to forgive and don't question nor doubt
Understand the pwoer of forgiveness and the rest will play out
Love yourself live each moment like it's your last
And the world will thank you for being love will Zach

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.

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
