Blogging Everyday in July|What Music Does
A few people have asked me to write about a few different aspects of music. Why it's important. How it affects people. How it changes things. What it means. I've even been bugged because I haven't written it yet. So here are some thoughts. Apologies now if they're not all together. Open your computer. Go …
Blogging Everyday in July|Nostalgia Makes Mountains Out of Molehills
This isn't something anyone asked me to write on. I'm just writing on it. I woke up this morning feeling numb. Feeling nostalgic. Feeling unsettled. I have a lot to do, yet nothing to do. Why do anything at all? I stayed in bed for a while. Then I felt like playing a song I …

Another Christmas, another song
When I was 17 I fell in love with a Christmas song. This year I decided to learn it. And because it's Christmas and I worked a double and I'm tired, I don't have much to say. So enjoy this one shot video that I recorded in my friend's bedroom. Haven't even actually watched it. …

Cathedral
I see the wind blow through the leaves Yet it hardly touches me Creation singing some kind of new song As nature begins to applaud There is no such thing as mediocre Overtaken by a new kind of perfume Wondering if this is real life Knowing it is better Knowing I'm not alone And that …
Freed Bird
Just like the caged bird remembers its freedom This freed bird remembers its cage It remembers the locked door The key thrown away It's hard to come close Because it doesn't want to be locked up anymore It remembers falling when it learned to fly It remembers its song, its cry But that chain came …
Yours (Too Many Times)
This is a rough cut of a song I wrote that really needs to be re-recorded, but I'm too lazy and not talented enough to work at it. But I felt like sharing it. It's been too many times that I've been broken But I keep coming back to you And it's been too many …
