HEY LADY REMIX, original music, audio

Hey Lady I woke up, felt sick, had to work, took to much, couldn’t catch up with my thoughts. I spun my head quickly, all I could see was a blur. I recalled a dream. There are people who base their lives around reason. There are people who base their lives around emotions. There are people who base their lives around people. There are people who base their lives around money. How do you see the world? Hey lady, treating your body []

Say Yes, (elliot smith cover) audio

Say Yes, audio A song for people with brittle emotions. Smith was one of those tortured souls who became more unstable thru the use of psychotropic medicines which hindered his live performance at times. The ultimate do-it-yourself recording artist, he ended his life by literally taking a knife to his heart. I have fun depressing myself with his songs. Enjoy.

Sunday Morning, (velvet underground cover) audio

Sunday Morning I have always felt that this was a really peaceful song. Tho really have never cared for Sundays at all, some people don’t like Mondays. I have heard that this is about a hangover. What would you expect Lou Reed to say? For me it is not about that. Lou bought himself a new liver, still didn’t make it. Kurt Cobain may have referenced this tune, in Lithium, there was that line about “sunday morning shave my head” or some []

I Should Have Known, (foo fighters cover)

I want to dedicate this song to Rex Addleman and Krista Brix who we lost to suicide. It is also for others who have had people we care about pass away due to self-destructive behavior. I am lucky to have not fell victim as well. Written by Dave Grohl, not sure if this is about Kurt Cobain, but it certainly describes what one goes thru. And as an aside, I do forgive both Rex and Krista. God bless them!

am I Really? so… (original music audio)

“am I Really? so..” I’m looking for that song that says what I am feeling. And I’m lost, and I can’t find that note, and I am angry and ashamed, I crossed my own line again. Do you think I am so dumb that I need my own name-tag? Do you think I am so dumb that it has to be drawn out? Do you think I’m so? am I really, so? I am wanting this so bad, and it’s just out []

Tempted, (squeeze cover) audio

Had a lot of strange difficulties while trying to record this. Houseflies buzzing about at the absolute wrong time. Not being able to figure out how to place all the chords. Writing it out and then smelling something like an electrical fire, then the air conditioning kicks on when the thermostat is off. Just little things to drive one batty. Then file started to clip. This is the result. At least, I woke up today and did not have to worry about []
