After the Cocteau Twins, original music, (audio)
Thank You for Stopping by my little spot on the world wide web!!! I just want to say some words about this one. The idea being that a lot of music these days are just a combination of repeated sounds. Chorus/verse, whatever. It becomes apparent to me lyrics are bothersome, asking myself what does it mean, aren’t vocals just notes? I just like to hear something pleasant. I look at some of my favorite tunes, and read what the lyricist meant, and […]
Tryptophane, ( mono puff cover) audio
If you have ever eaten a lot of turkey meat, then you understand. Following the whole joke song narrative….
Unsupervised, I Hit My Head, (mono puff cover) audio
Now, I am left-handed.
Gray Skies, original music, audio
I try to keep it in my mind. I try to keep it in my head. I’m not the worst and I’m not the best. Gray skies, Gray skies.. I lock the door behind me. Gray skies, Gray skies. Close the blinds, let no light in. I have my paper and I have my pens. Try to draw simple shapes, then block the values in. Can you hear my voice? Does it sound like yours? Can you hear me sing? Can you […]
In the Lord’s Hands, original spiritual song, audio
Sometimes the stress gets to be a little too much. And it hurts to be living from day to day. What day is it? I want to be free to be whoever it is that I am. And not make lies to cover for the messed up past that I’ve had. The point is that it’s a struggle to do the best that I can. And not make anybody mad. Sometimes the best I can do is to sleep alone. Here I […]
Catch-22 (letter to steve), original tune, audio
Catch-22 (letter to steve) Believe me tho I don’t tell the truth. Tell all the gossips the daily news. People fill me with disgust. A smile, a handshake, it’s so fucked up. Catch-22, a pure feedback loop as I write this letter to you. So much hate, so little time to retreat out of this war. There is hope tho I am not quite sure where it lies. Catch-22, a pure feedback loop as I write this letter in the sky. Poor […]
Lithium, Nirvana cover, audio
It is difficult to play thrash on an acoustic guitar. Thought I would switch things up with Kurt songs.
Strawberry Fields Forever, beatles cover, audio
It seems strange to me that as a 6 year old, I raided my Aunt’s record collection and devoured many beatle records. One of my first exposures to fun music was Beatle psychedelic rock. And I wonder WHY I ask myself the reason for being a messed up adult..
Watchin’ the Wheels, john lennon cover, audio
I tell them them there are no problems, only solutions. My folk-ed out version continuing the foray of Lennon tunes.
You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away, beatles cover, audio
Sometimes it is just easier to goof around with a few chords written by somebody else. I really felt this song when I was 17. Tried to tap into that. Again more beatles..
