Songs


This is the first song I've given out to people like this ... consider yourselves lucky. ;o)

There's no great story behind it or anything like that ... I came up with the chorus guitar progression before anything else; I played around with it for a year or two, and am just now using it (go figure). The lyrics are in more of a poetry style than anything else; but I like songs like that, so it's only natural I'd write one, right? Well anyway. Don't be too brutal on me.

And please, whatever you do, forgive my voice and guitar.

Forgettable

Lyrics

Let me know if it doesn't work or whatever. It's 96 kbs (anything better is exponentially larger and I plan to put more on here, maybe ....). Also it's around 3 MB I think.


It's amazing how much pleasure I get out of two chords.

I was reading Mama Day for class, and there's a line in it that says "Surely, he jests." In the book it's actually talking about something totally different than in the song; but for some reason I decided I liked the flow of that little quote, and it spread into the first verse, which then spread into an entire song. I feel odd singing this because I don't write many breakup songs, and the fact that it's only two chords for most of the song makes me a little frightened of monotony; but for the most part I'm ok with the way it turned out.

This exemplifies my guitar-playing abilities.

(Or lack thereof.)

Rain/I'm Calling It Rain

Lyrics


This is an attempt at a halfway commercial song. Ironically, throughout the song I--er--bash the types of people who listen to very commercial music.

Although, hey, I listen to commercial music, and I don't exactly bash myself (maybe I should have ... hmm...)

ANYway,no offense is intended towards anyone. This isn't really a song about how awful those types of people are; it's more about finding yourself and surrendering to that rather than what's cool. So if you call yourself a ghetto boy, a popular girl, or a hardcore boy, you know I still love ya - I just think yer kind of, you know, lame.

Surrender (Who Do You Surrender To?)
