My Wandering Mind
One of my most recent writings. The musical tone is attempting to capture the back and forth shift between paranoid and carefree. It’s easy to see those as the only two options. When the mind starts wandering, it’s real easy to start assuming that all odds are against you and every worst scenario that you…

The Greatest Foe
Another trial in reviving something that hasn’t been played in a long time. I know when I first wrote it was meant be very Dylan-ish, though in rehashing it, I went for a little more of a Gordon Lightfoot tone. Spoiler: The Greatest Foe is me. Or objectively, one’s self. Stop getting in your own…

In Need
Word play song! The writing process of this song sort became a rhyming exercise; each line has four rhyming words and ends with a word to rhyme with the second line of its verse! example: Tight bind, can’t find, anywhere to go unwind there’s nothing left to put my mind as ease Hard pressed, confessed,…

And there’s a good chance I’m biased, living through one generation while only hearing second hand how the prior generations operated. But I’m convinced our shift from radio/video star to the social media/youtube/performance game show star era…

The Book Was Closed
I’m a little disappointed in myself for missing a week while I was on vacation. I had recorded a video in advance with the intention of uploading it while I was away, but the beach just kept calling my name, so I’ll just have to live with knowing I took a by week. “The Book…

Life’s too Short to Worry
So if you’re a regular viewer of these videos, you may notice they all start with a number in the top left corner. As you might have guessed, that number is a chronological order for when the song was written. It also plays into the goal of this little video project. I’m approaching having 100…

Patchwork Doll
So as a boy, who like most boys, grew up with a lot of toys. Army men, transformers, and plenty of ironically dubbed “action figures”. All that wonderful hard plastic, virtual immobile guys. Imagination was in no short supply, so the great battles that took places still had their grandeur, despite the stiffness of the…
