I’ve been working on this project for three years, and it’s finally here. These songs are a part of me. Some are entirely true, others are full of embellishments and fabrications, but they all represent a time in my life that I’ll never get back. It’s bittersweet, but I’m thankful to have this album as a record of who I am and who I was, and hopefully some of it will connect with you. If you dig it, share it. Even if you don’t share on social media, tell a friend or two. Every little bit helps. Thanks for listening.</p><p>I made <i>If You Ask Me I’ll Tell You</i> almost entirely by myself, but I had a lot of help with <i>Ghosts & Whispers</i>. It was incredible to find that every time I added a new person to the mix, they elevated to the project, and to the following people I’m extremely grateful…</p><p> </p><p>Anders Mouridsen – Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Keyboards, Piano, Frankenslide<br>Ulf Mickael Wahlgren – Drums, Percussion<br>Kate Strand – Backing vocals<br>Jason Swift – Backing vocals on Matador<br> <br>Engineered and Mixed by Mark Rains at Station House Studio in Los Angeles, CA.<br> <br>Mastered by Eric Conn at Independent Mastering in Nashville, TN.<br> <br>Cover art photo taken by Shane Liem.</p><p><br> </p>Mike Stocksdaletag:mikestocksdale.com,2005:Post/71156782022-12-02T08:46:19-08:002024-03-22T02:14:13-07:00FIVE STORIES EP - OUT TODAY!<p><a contents="Listen now" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://songwhip.com/mike-stocksdale/five-stories" target="_blank">Listen now</a> on your favorite streaming platform or head <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.mikestocksdale.com/five-stories" target="_self">here</a> to read lyrics and stories about the EP.</p>

Hollywood is a strange place to live. It’s an odd mix of tourists, movie stars, homeless people, struggling actors, and musicians just hoping to get a gig. It’s a bit like Disneyland…everything is fake except the people who work there, and they’re just trying to make a buck. Despite its shortcomings, I’m proud to have called Hollywood my home. The city, the friends I made, and the knowledge I acquired has shaped me and continues to do so. I thought I’d left those days behind when I moved to Santa Monica and then later Culver City, but last year Hollywood creeped back into my dreams, onto the pages, and into my next album. My Hollywood song ended up being deeply personal. Nothing of the glitz and glamor of the place, but rather the most potent memories of my daily life. The verses are ripped straight from my experiences in my mid twenties as a struggling musician and student. -Mike<a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/3VuupnCNE6Y" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/93782/934aaff2faf5c35aec4b601964407d5368ed680f/medium/screen-shot-2017-10-05-at-12-50-47-pm.png?1507233098" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></a></p>Mike Stocksdaletag:mikestocksdale.com,2005:Post/48189252017-08-18T15:20:37-07:002022-04-05T04:23:31-07:00The Old Band<p>After a 14 year hiatus, my old band, <a contents="Three Minute Mile" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/threeminutemile/" target="_blank">Three Minute Mile</a>, has released a new album and are playing three shows in Chicago at the end of August!</p>

<p><a contents="Loose Ends" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/loose-ends/id1266553894" target="_blank"><em>Loose Ends</em></a> is a collection of songs written in the early 2000s but never officially released. The first two tracks, "In Your Mind" and "Dear America," were produced July 2017 in my home studio via email, dropbox, and a little bit of magic. "Bad Time For Love" was produced by Marc Nelson of The Alley Recording Company in a snow covered cabin in 2003. Singer/guitarist Jason Swift, drummer Justin Seidenberg, bassist Justin G. Leone, keyboardist Noah Schwartz, and myself (lead guitar) recorded the rest of the songs live in the studio of our great friend and mentor, Russ Castillo, as a demo back in 2002. The very last track is a rare version of a song written by Noah, recorded live at The Bluebird in Bloomington, IN, 2003. This band is where I first developed a love for music, and it really is a thrill to finally share these songs with the world. I can't wait to hit the stage with them in Chicago at the end of this month. Happy time traveling and thank you so much for listening with open ears, hearts, and minds. Enjoy!</p>Mike Stocksdaletag:mikestocksdale.com,2005:Post/48189082017-08-18T15:05:25-07:002023-12-10T08:46:07-08:00LA ON LOCK blog post<p>Thanks to <a contents="LA ON LOCK" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.laonlock.com/videos/8/17/2017/mike-stocksdale-adrian-video" target="_blank">LA ON LOCK</a> for sharing the video for "Adrian."</p>

It’s a political warning. It’s sung from the perspective of a father speaking to his young son before bed. His son doesn’t know it, but grown ups of the world battle political lies, gun control, immigration, war, and countless other very real issues every day. He doesn’t want his child to bear the weight of today’s problems. His hope is that by the time his son is old enough to understand all of these issues, they’re only a song.</p>

<p><em>Until the Oceans Rise</em> is filled with music from my soul. Lifelong love songs to rebellious rock tunes, political sagas and soundtracks for bedrooms. It’s a journey that encapsulates my life, my past, and my hopes for the future. Raw, unapologetic, and sung from the heart, it’s what I think folk music should be. The songs are the best I’ve ever written presented in the most human way I could conjure. It’s not a perfect album, but it’s not supposed to be. Take some time with it. Let it sink in, and soon enough it’ll feel as if you’re with me in the room, like you’re part of the conversation. </p>
<p>Happy listening,</p>

<p>When Miles was born my life turned upside down. Despite all I expected from reading books and taking classes and listening to advice, it quickly became clear that the day he came into being marked a fundamental change in my world. I am eternally grateful that my wife and I had it easier than many parents do, but still it was hard. My focus shifted to this incredible tiny man and away from everything else. Songwriting, music, and any sort of artistic endeavor were put on the back burner and gone from my mind. That was ok. I knew it would happen. What I didn’t foresee is what would take place when I finally clawed my way back to songwriting. I’ll never forget the first day I finally got some time and space and quiet to sit down and see if I still had it in me. Miles was six months old, I was finally getting a little sleep, and I had the apartment all to myself for three hours. I was a little nervous...a little scared. Had I left songwriting for too long? Would it forgive me for what I’d done? Did it move on after I ditched it and left it all alone on that deserted dusty road? Would my old friend let me have a shot at repairing our tattered relationship? </p>
<p>In short, you betcha.</p>
<p>These are strange times we live in. The world is more transparent and accessible than it’s ever been; yet people feel more isolated and lonely than ever before. Peace, love, friendship, caring: these ideas are juxtaposed every day with war, death, crime, and hatred. All you need to do is switch channels or click a mouse, and you can see it all. You can try and feel it all too, but I believe our bodies and minds have to go a little numb to process it and take it all in. Otherwise we might lose ourselves. </p>
<p>Over those three hours in that old apartment my thoughts on all of this, on my life, on the way society makes me feel tumbled out onto the pages of my comp book. I’ll often joke that “Get Found” is a song about everything. It’s not. But it’s about a lot of things. The lyrics move fast because the narrator is worried he’s running out of time. He’s desperate. He’s searching. He’s afraid that what he’s saying needs to be heard before it’s too late. He knows that even though he’s broken, even though he’s lost...he can’t get it back ‘til it’s gone. </p>
<p>Thanks for listening. I hope you like the song. The new album is out May 23rd. </p>

Something near and dear to my heart. Something so meaningful to me that I'm almost afraid to share it with others out of fear that they just won't get it. Or worse they'll get it and hate it. Maybe they'll laugh in my face and shout to the sky, "what were you thinking?! This is terrible!" Maybe they'll turn their backs on me and whisper secretly about how mediocre my art is. </p>
<p>Maybe... </p>
<p>Or maybe they'll listen with open ears, hearts, and minds. It’s hard to say. A teacher once told me that when it comes to my art, it's my job to create. That’s it. I don't get to decide whether what I create is worthy, acceptable, terrible, or amazing. It's not my place. I'm just supposed to put it out there and let it live. </p>
<p>"A Passing Phase" is a song from my new album, Until the Oceans Rise. I worked harder and longer on the lyrics for these songs, attempting to be more heartfelt, vivid, and thought provoking than ever before. There are many who don't listen to words in music, so I'm releasing this first as a lyric video in the hopes that what I say will carry as much weight as how I say it. </p>
<p>The guitar, vocal, and harmonica for all of the songs on this album were tracked live to tape over a few days by the amazing Mike Post at Moosecat Recording. The kick drum and tambourine were also done there. I overdubbed the other instruments at my home studio, where I mixed the album as well. The incredible Paul Shatto mastered the whole thing. </p>
<p>Please share with friends and loved ones as you see fit. Volume one of the album will be released on May 23, 2017. Keep your eyes and ears open for other videos and sneak peaks before then. Have a nice day. -Mike</p>Mike Stocksdaletag:mikestocksdale.com,2005:Post/46654172017-04-10T11:41:53-07:002022-05-23T02:17:36-07:00New music coming soon...<span class="font_large">Been busy in the studio.
