Joshua Neely

I started playing music when I was 5. It was only three keys on the piano- but those three notes changed my life.


I never really thought I would be a musician, but I enjoyed it so much, I didn’t even realize that those three keys grew into so much more.


They became a reflection of me: my greatest joy and deepest desires; my worst fears and my darkest moments.


I’m not gonna sugar coat it- life can SUCK. Sometimes it can be so chaotic, so heavy, it just feels like an OCEAN is WEIGHING on your chest and it feels like there’s no way out.


But there is.

I promise.


Like how the tide goes up, it also recedes. You just gotta have hope- and make. sure. to. Breathe.


And that’s what lonely boy is about: a story about a kid who’s been lost in his ocean for a long time, and has only recently washed up. Each song is a reminder of the feelings he felt while holding his breathe underneath the deep blue.

So enjoy the songs I wrote in my bedroom sorry they’re not INDUSTRY STANDARD jeez loosen up lol. But fr I really do love each and every one of my songs to death. I hope that you can take away something from my music. If I knew that it brought value to at least one person’s life, I’d be satisfied knowing it was all worth it.
