about
Expel: The outro track has some backstory. The music for Expel was originally just the last minute of the final song. Lyrics were added to that last part as a prelude to my next album. The beginning of the recording of, Expel was the end product of a tradition of always recording a song on Halloween Night (since 2000). Halloween night 2016, I had an epiphany. Lately, I've been struggling with motivation and drive and my endless to-do lists have haunted me. I realized with the way my brain operates, I needed to start writing the things down that I was doing and finishing creatively rather than cross things off a list. The results have been unbelievable and I haven't had a day go by where at least something or 10 things were done or finished. Without that new train of thought and this improv jam, I don't think I ever would of finished the album, "Embody & Expel."

Expel
Music & Lyrics By: Nathaniel Hockman
You cry to the stars,
Never been part of this world.
Your people just see you smiling,
Never said a negative word.
HISTORY ON REPEAT
HISTORY ON REPEAT
Cry to the stars,
Never been part of this world,
Your people just see you smiling,
Never said a negative word.
Cry to the stars,
Never been part of this world,
People just see you smiling,
Never been a negative word.
Cry to the stars,
Never been part of this world,
People just see you smiling,
Never said a negative word.
If you’re ever feeling low,
Can’t find the time to sew,
A hopeless lonely star,
Just take my memory and know,
Somebody loved you so much,
Somebody loved you to death.
It’s going to happen again,
Just wait and don’t hold your breath.
Because you’re someone special,
To everyone including me,
You never know, you never know, you never know.
You never know, you never know, you never know.
You never know, you never know, you never know.
You never know, you never know, you never know.
You never know, you never know, you never know.
You never know, you never know.
