Milwaukee
04:29
|

I’ve been standing at the gates for all my life
I’ve been waiting for my day to feel the light
Now my patience is strained
And my love has gone away
There’s nothing left of me
And I’m out on the streets of Milwaukee
Yea my patience is gone
And my love has long withdrawn
There’s nothing left to see
I am stuck, on the streets of Milwaukee
All this time I was lost along the rail lines
But in my mind I was yours and you were mine
All this time I was lost along the rail lines
But in my mind I was yours and you were mine
All this time I was lost along the rail lines
But in my mind I was yours and you were mine

Matador

I loved her with all of me, you better believe
That I had hoped to one day get down on my knee
But I was dumb and she left me ,you better believe
That I would do anything
I’d bury my heart in the depths of hell
Drive my car at the speed of sound
Get bucked off a broncos back
Just to have a chance at bringing you back
Should I go to Mexico and fix my rapport?
I wanna fight back like a matador, like matador
Should I go in the undertow and be washed ashore?
I wanna fight back like a matador
I’d bury my heart in the depths of hell
Drive my car at the speed of sound
Get bucked off a broncos back
Just to have a chance at bringing you back
I’d bury my heart in the depths of hell
Drive my car at the speed of sound
Get bucked off a broncos back
Just to have a chance at bringing you back
I’d bury my heart in the depths of hell
(I wanna fight back like a matador, like a matador)
Just to have a chance at bringing you back
(I wanna fight back like a matador, like a matador)
But I can’t, because nothing’s bringing you back

Doomsday

If this is where my life ends
Back where it all began
If this is where my life ends
I don’t know where we stand
I saw you from the hotel room
At the beach down the avenue
I saw you across the ocean blue
No, I can’t be there for you
And all we had was lost
When all you needed was right here
That’s why I bare the cost
Day after day after day
If this is where my life ends
Back where it all began
If this is where my life ends
I don’t know where we stand
You packed it up and left
While I was trying to make amends
This is something I won’t forget
Though I still don’t comprehend
How all we had was lost,
When all you needed was right here
That’s why I bare the cost
Day after day after day after day
If this is where my life ends
Back where it all began
If this is where my life ends
I don’t know where we stand
Where the hell do I stand
If this is where my life ends
Back where it all began
If this is where my life ends
I don’t know where we stand
If this is where my life ends
Will you take my hand?
If this is where my life ends
I don’t know where we stand

Better Daze
02:24
|
|||
|
Suzie and Harold were Dover's pride
When they fell in love in the summertime
The Ohio nights were hard to beat
For evading the sticky summer heat
When Suzie and Harold were to wed
He fell in the shower and hit his head
Bleeding face down on the porcelain
Suzie's life went into reeling
Suzie was chilled to the bone
She had to retreat to her father's home
Her father asks if she's alright
She returns his glance with her anxious eyes
Because her father is a good man
Calls his friend who works in medicine
Can't bare seeing her this way
Asks for a pill to bring back better daze
Those better daze, oh, better daze
Better daze, those better daze
Better daze, oh, better daze
Those better daze
Those better daze
Suzie's felt worse since the medicine
Her lungs are burning and she can't breath in
Her father insists on the vice
It's the only way for a normal life
But a normal life was lost last June
When Harold fell in the bathroom
She hasn't taken them for 6 weeks
If only it was that easy
Her father asks if she's feeling well
She gives him a smile though she feels like hell
She wants him to think that she's okay
Even though she's thinking of better daze
Oh, better daze
Those better daze
Oh, better daze

Daydreaming
05:31
|

|
I have waited all night
For you to call to me
I was searching for something to attach myself to
I thought it’d be you
There was a time for us
To move into oblivion
But you were daydreaming, just lost in your mind
Leaving me behind
I was driving you home
When you said you felt all alone
You took my hand
You said you hoped I’d understand
But I never did, I never did
Another year rolls by
I’m still confused, beaten and bruised
And you’re still daydreaming and I can’t find the time
To leave this all behind
I was driving you home
When you said you felt all alone
You took my hand
You said you hoped I’d understand
But I never did, I never did

Darling
02:34

I’ve been waiting all my life to say good morning darling
I’ve been waiting all my life to say I love you darling
Ya you know, I can’t describe
The way I’m hypnotized
I’ve been waiting all my life for you, my lovely darling
I’ve been waiting all my life I’d say, it’s worth it darling
And I know you dont prescribe
To lovesick lullabies
So I’ll meet you where the earth kisses the water
And I’ll cry with you at the tombstones of our fathers
For it’s you, I can’t deny
You’re my whole life
You in my mind
You’re my darling
I’ve been buried all my life just so afraid of falling
I’ve been buried all my life you see, afraid of loving
But you have realigned
My dull and fragile mind
And I’ll meet you where the earth kisses the water
And I’ll cry with you at the tombstones of our fathers
For its you, I can’t deny
You’re my whole life
You’re in my mind
Youre my darling

Just Racing
03:13
|

It’s all moving way too fast
It’s not too much to ask
Just slow it down so I can breathe
Help me take apart my enemies
Cuz were dying in that’s a fact
I’m just trying to keep it on the track
Just let me go at my speed
And maybe try to ask what it is I need
So won’t you pick me up and take me home
I’m only 25 but I feel so old
Caught up again in the cracks of my brain
Racing to the end like a bullet train
Is there a trick to making things last?
Cuz if there is I need it ASAP
I can’t keep working to forgo
These feelings that I can’t seem to outgrow
So won’t you pick me up and take me home
I’m only 25 but I feel so old
Caught up again in the cracks of my brain
Racing to the end like a bullet train
Were just racing, were racing
Just racing, were racing

about
I truly thought WESTERN JAGUAR was finished. With the crushing weight of the pandemic and social isolation all the rage, I walked away from WESTERN JAGUAR. I buried it in the yard and was comfortable with moving on. I didn't think I needed it anymore... I know now that WESTERN JAGUAR will always be a part of me. It is an escape from reality when I need it most, a shoulder to cry on when things are swirling and an outlet that has afforded me many amazing moments. Thank you to everyone who has shown support for this project. First and foremost, Davis Mackenzie Zand, AJ Buckley and KC Roces for your long term love, support and collaboration. Additionally to all those who have left an impact on this band. Rob Sweeney, Brent Webb, Mitchell Trainor, Jotham Yelle, Ryan Domingo, Dave Montgomery and Truman Proudfoot. All your contributions through the years are appreciated. Furthermore, thank you to my parents for their support in music and their conviction to keep me in music lessons, even though I asked time and time again to quit. Lastly, but surely not least, thank you to my darling, my wife, Jelena. Your continued support and love truly means everything. You inspire me to be better everyday and without your listening ear and your astounding ability to put up with my constant noise making, I whole heartedly could not have created this record.
Western Jaguar Forever.

Western Jaguar recommends:
-
We have played with these guys more than anyone else... and for good reason! Shoegazy, pop infused jams with soft, smooth and meaningful lyrics over top. So what are you waiting for, check it out!
go to album -
My brothers band. Post-punk at its finest. I don't even listen to this genre but this record is just solid. They tour across North America too so they are most likely in your town soon

I can't fully put my finger on it, but there's something in this album that makes me think of the Cramps on one hand and the Gorillaz on the other, not sure what though. I do love the direction this is headed in. A few of these are a bop like nobody seems to understand. I feel like it's relevant for how a lot of people feel these days

The members of Big Slice rubbed shoulders with Britpop legends like Suede & Echobelly—no surprise when you hear their radiant, hooky songs.
