Making Hay 03:13
I'm gonna glow Like the sun Because I know I'm the one I'm living sound I'm gettin' clean I'm having fun Being me Vibrating on high frequency Catching every good wave we could beam I'm on the rise Like the moon Breaking the tide I am the groove So I'm striking now While the iron is hot So baby come on Let's give this a shot Vibrating on our frequency Catching every good wave we could beam Before you're born you're in the dark Life looks hot but that's the spark Illuminate what you have inside You have a choice to do or die Making hay while the sun shines Making hay while the sun shines Making hay while the sun shines

To Be Alive 03:50
I'd never seen so much blood Between the road and my eyes They say it's not where you go But how you get where you arrive Remember to be alive Now is the present and you're a prize Remember to be alive You ought to know what you have So when the open road feels narrow Ten thousand blackbirds fall And leave a trail to follow Remember to be alive Now is the present and you're a prize Under the moon there is a light Remember to be alive Flesh is soft and skin deep Cut profound baby teeth I try to clean up the mess Until not a spot is found But then I have to confess Some spots belong on the ground Remember to be alive Now is the present and you're a prize Under the moon there is a light Remember to be alive Remember to be alive Remember to be alive

My Secret 04:43
I want to win the big time lottery I want you to be curled up next to me I want to see us covered in success I want to spawn complete happiness I believe these things are set in motion I believe it's happening right now I believe you can hear me when I'm singing I believe it will all come true somehow I want to reach the top of your charts I want to live in passion making art I want you to talk with me tonight I want everyone I know to be alright I believe these things are set in motion I believe it's happening right now I believe you can hear me when I'm singing I believe it will all come true somehow We're receiving everything we give We're receiving everything we give

Gla$$ Bada$$ 04:12
I'm a good looking, ass whoopin, clean conscious, son of a gun I'm a long haired, holed pants, humble hearted dude of fun Got cold cash, big stacks of hot loving coming with me You'll feel good, you should, too because to dance is free I'm so bright when I kiss the sun I taste more than a golden tongue You can see through me I've cleared a path You could call me a glass bad ass I'm just your introverted outgoing relaxed intense man A gin drinking, vapor smoking flavored peach in a can I'll give you goosebumps, two lumps of sugar and a real good time In your coffee or you tea as you please to relax unwind I'm so bright when I kiss the sun I taste more than a golden tongue You can see through me I've cleared a path You could call me a glass bad ass I'ma be real good, to myself and across the nation Because we should use our love like a broadcast station Everyone's got something to move and I move mountains Everybody's got some place to be and I'm here now I'm so bright when I kiss the sun I taste more than a golden tongue You can see through me I've cleared a path You could call me a glass bad ass I'm a glass bad ass Time to kick it in the ass I'm a glass bad ass Mother Motha...

I've Got You 03:17
Rain pours down, droplets on my head feeling good, just a little wet as I walk home I'm not alone Oh I've got me! I want to give, and I can give it all sacrifice, I have to risk the fall and fall I might but that's alright Oh now I'm free! Took a chance, and a chance has taken me Said my prayers, now living out my dreams and they came true Just like I knew Oh, I've got you! To take a risk one learns to fall So dare to rise above it all
6.
I once had a dream Everything was perfect When I woke it seemed It was lost In the valley and I know it's time to place you in the sky, come on now and let out your inner light become the greatest fire Because I know you're made to shine That was yesterday Now today Love becomes me And no longer afraid What's to come Or where it's going and I know it's time to place you in the sky, come on now and let out your inner light become the greatest fire Because I know you're made to shine Shine, shine, shine, shine on... Love, love, love, love on... Shine, shine, shine, shine on...

And the birds all flew away And the dog was let off the chain And the gas was pouring in the rain And in the fields there was no more pain She never wanted him to find out, and she did it time and again When he could no longer ignore doubt, he went looking for a friend And the birds all flew away And the dog was let off the chain And the gas was pouring in the rain And in the fields there was no more pain She was backed into a corner, so she turned his doubt on him He did everything he thought of, but she would not own her sin And the birds all flew away And the dog was let off the chain And the gas was pouring in the rain And in the fields there was no more pain When He left and never came back, she wouldn't listen to his cries So she lost him in at that moment, but she got to keep her lies And the birds all flew away And the dog was let off the chain And the gas was pouring in the rain And in the fields there was no more pain

It's alright if you need to breathe You'll always be a little angel to me Step out and find what you can't ignore I'll be there should you need support Like you shown me It's okay if you need to cry You got to know low so you can go high Intertwined and put on hold I opened up and bore my soul Like you shone me One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for It's easy to be where you're supposed to be You're always there so just be free Half the answers you already know The other half will come and go Like you shown me One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for One day you''ll find what you're looking for

Wither 03:00
Plant the seed, I am brand new Among the weeds was where I grew Below a tree where the sun shone through You water me and fed my roots But I could With her Yes I could with her Oh I could Wither Without you Hold me close I need your heat When it's cold you keep me green Help me grow free from disease Love me so you tend to my leaves But I could With her Yes I could with her Oh I could Wither Without you Without you without you I'll always have you

Stella D'oro 04:18
I'll be your paperboy Stella D'oro I love the way you bob your head and torso We flip the world using an arm motion "How does it work?", you say "magic potion" Precision of a surgeon She's so distinctly Persian Dig in the way she's flirtin' Simply she's real certain I'll be the nickel you be smoking all night I'll be your partner in a poker chip fight We'll search all day for the butter cow Thousands of mayflies in July somehow Precision of a surgeon She's so distinctly Persian Dig in the way she's flirtin' Simply she's real certain Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah... I'll be your paperboy Stella D'oro I love the way you bob your head and torso We flip the world using an arm motion "How does it work?", you say "magic potion" Precision of a surgeon She's so distinctly Persian Dig in the way she's flirtin' Simply she's real certain
11.
I Know 03:36
You could wash your brain and hypnotize what you know with doubtful lies You can take your chance off the shelf The truth will give you back yourself And I know a little courage is all it takes And I know you don't need luck to catch a break When you know the stakes You can work to death from 9 to 5 Or sit at home and scape on by The road is there now take a step Get to give and give to get And I know keep on going you'll get it right And I know you don't need eyes to have insight It'll be alright Oh yeah, I woke today feeling tried and true Ah ha, with a little love I'm going to share with you Oh yeah, it's ok, if it makes you happy seize the day Ah ha, I woke today feeling tried... feeling tried and true Before you know it life's passed you by You made excuses for how and why You can live a life if you dare to dream You've got the lock now use the key And I know every story has it's end And I know you needn't break when you can bend Oh I'm still your friend Oh yeah, I woke today feeling tried and true Ah ha, with a little love I'm going to share with you Oh yeah, it's ok, if it makes you happy seize the day Ah ha, I woke today feeling tried... feeling tried and true

Thank You 01:39
Thank you... Thank you for healing me Thank you for the love Thank you for being here In the wealth I've become Thank you...

about

This album is so much more than just a simple collection of 12 songs. This is the true story of my heart and soul going from being born, wanting and needing to live, learning to love with all my heart, losing what I thought was everything, nearly dying, surviving, and becoming more than I ever thought I could be. This album could be your life.

Download it now or click the link and listen. It's an epic story and there is a lot to take in so the lyrics are there for you to read along with.

The mission is simple. Live and keep on living.

Listen, Tell your friends, repeat.



A review: Sometimes a musician feels the need to step outside the box. Try something different. Explore other aspects of musicianship. To push themselves in a way that is not their normality. It’s something we all think about but rarely do. It’s a fear to become that vulnerable and reveal something completely different that people are not used to seeing or hearing. But it is something that is necessary to some musicians. They have all these emotions built up and they need to come out in some form or another. Dan Bobek is known for his band Raw Mojo and his post grunge-like solo work. However, his new album is a step in a different direction for him. His vulnerability is unleashed with his new album Vibrating on Hi.

With this new album, Dan has written songs that are not his norm. He steps outside of himself and opens up both musically and personally. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign, he hopes to take these songs to a new level of his musical career to share with the world.

In his own words, “I really want to do this right. I have spent far too long in this shell, too afraid to move beyond my fears. I am so proud of this album I have recorded and I’d love to see it packaged beautifully, to give people something to hold and talk about, and to get over my fears of traveling the world playing my music and making true connections with each and every one of you. Quality of and in life is very important. I spent the last week unable to walk without extreme pain due to a genetic problem with my joints. I honestly don’t know how many days I have left on this planet, none of us do, so it is high time to make this main bucket list goal I have into a reality.”

The album is packed with songs that come straight from his heart and he is working hard to be able to show this to the world. Personally, this album is one of his best and deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. With songs like the opening “Making Hay” to the subtle “To Be Alive”. “Glass Badass” has his classical stamp of the dark humor he has so masterfully accomplished. “Made to Shine” is exactly what Dan is made to do. He even throws in some 80′s like electro-pop with a song called “Stella D’oro” and pushes even further at the end of the album with an a capella song called “Thank You”.

Dan stretches his mind and opens up with every song on this album. A true musician is one who can create without boundaries. Dan Bobek does just that with this album. He has transformed himself and opened up like never before and has unintentionally put him on a completely different level of musicianship. His songwriting is greatly displayed as his soul comes gushing out for the world to see. You would be doing yourself a great dishonor by not listening to this album with an open mind. Check out his Kickstarter link below and support a musician who deserves the chance to break out.
