The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I don’t know what my tomorrow holds. Now usually this does not bother me, or so I tell myself. Wait, I tell myself many different stories. At the top of the list is this – being able to transmute any experience through music matters. This is how I can transcend whatever befalls me. My love […]
It is time to visit Gilda. A few things bother me deeply, feelings I struggle to codify. It’s the curse of being Scorpio, I tell myself. Feelings are never easy. They sit on my chest or get stuck in my throat. Sometimes they dance on the lines of my forehead as I struggle to find […]
Sharing some new writing. I blame this squarely on my insomnia…and my dog. Read if you like. * * I think I am losing my mind, especially on rainy afternoons between one and three in the afternoon. I can see […]
This was one of the first songs I ever wrote. God, this new album is gonna be so crack happy…even I am starting to worry about my mental health. So happy and love is nowhere in sight! But if music is a spell…then this is what I am calling into my life, the good stuff. […]

I am sharing music at various stages of production. This is 70% done. There are things that need to be fixed. I don’t know if it will make the album…but let’s see. Written for a stubborn man who well…wouldn’t listen. Dude got into a car accident. Anyhoo, here’s the 70% version of it. Matt worked […]
This was written on a boat with Josey Fields, who sings with me and Andre Scheepers, who produced the track. This is not the best version in terms of sound. It can be found on my Dreaming Music album….and sums up how I feel about people in my life.
I was sitting outside and thought I would just take out my phone and share some thoughts…
I am the eldest in our family. Yet, both my siblings treat me as though I was born last. I love that they are so overprotective. At one stage I told my sister, ‘Dude, if you add the ages of both your kids…I was married for longer.’ She did not appreciate that, being a teacher […]
