Danny has chronicled his experience of reflecting on a past self that craved ‘this’, without seeming to know that ‘this’ would mean struggle, dealing with tough emotions, and losing people from his life.
“My mind is always telling me go out and chase your dreams
But I’ve been chasing ghosts who I don’t know”
He acknowledges the vagueness of the dream and that maybe this is it, despite the jadedness and exhaustion he’s dealing with. With “Is This Rock n Roll?”, Danny is putting a call out for understanding of where he is right now.
Danny shared with us that the song was written in a period where he thought about giving up pursuing music. He states “It’s about how I’ve dedicated myself to music and with sacrifices that have led to isolation and feeling a bit lost, ‘chasing ghosts that I don’t know’. That’s a reference to following my idols.”
The artwork for “Is This Rock n Roll?” with blood and raw flesh exposed feels very relevant to this vulnerable expression of Danny’s ‘insides’ as a musician.

Lyrics
Open a bottle of wine I think its going to be a long night
on my own again I wished for this its everything I wanted and more
glazed eyes sorry heart
faded thoughts of a wishful past
My mother always told me 'be careful where you sleep'
But ive been sleeping on hard floors alone
Drown now in red wine to feel safe (rock n roll)
on my own now alone again and im waiting for somebody to
Tell me im living the dream because im jaded and faded
somebody wake my up
Is this rock and roll?
Now im taken back by the things that I said and the time that I spent on this life
was it worth it all? I packed all my bags and pushed everybody aside
sad eyes they break my heart
Ive missed so much and drifted apart
my mind is always telling me go out and chase your dreams
But ive been chasing ghost who I dont know
Drown now in red wine to feel safe (rock n roll)
on my own now alone again and im waiting for somebody to
Tell me im living the dream because im jaded and faded
somebody wake my up
Is this rock and roll?
