For the tortured artist who is pissed they can't create anything.

VERSE 1:
How's this for a melody?
I've written a few before.
How's this for a harmony?
I think it sounds pretty poor.

I just want you to hear
The noises my thoughts make
Maybe you'll care Maybe you won't
But know I wrote it for your sake

CHORUS:
Cause you're better than me at everything
Better than me when you sing
Better when you dance
And I'm just alone
Cause you're better than me at everything
Better than me when you sing
Enthralling us all in a trance
Slicing me into a longwise expanse

VERSE 2:
I lounge around while I stress
While you make a work of art
I find that I hope my dreams
Are as full of heart as the taste is tart

So compose your harmonies
Sing with a silver-tone
Make me your humble friend
While music and me stay alone

CHORUS:
Cause you're better than me at everything
Better than me when you sing
Better when you dance
And I'm just alone
Cause you're better than me at everything
Better than me when you sing
Enthralling us all in a trance
Slicing me into a longwise expanse

VERSE 3:
Maybe you know who you are
The two subjects of every bar
Maybe I'll get what I want
Or grow old, grow pale, and gaunt.

Description:
My parents did not, in fact, beat me.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
I'm a depressed motherfucker
And nothing's gonna change!
I'm a depressed motherfucker
Hello, gray skies and rain!
If ever I figure out how to be glad,
I'll be sure to tell you dear when you look sad.
Cause

CHORUS:
Everything sucks!
Nothing is good!
All I ever want to do is what I never could!
Everything sucks!
I'm all alone!
All I ever want is my girl on the telephone!

But here I sit
A mossless stone.
Smiling through the pain
Sitting and crying at home.

VERSE 2:
I've got bruises I've got cuts
And they all look the same.
When I'm horny sad or slutty
They come just when I feel lame.
If ever I figure out what it all means
I'll be sure to tell you girl when you burst at the seams.
Cause

CHORUS:
Everything sucks!
Nothing is good!
All I ever want to do is what I never could!
Everything sucks!
I'm all alone!
All I ever want is my girl on the telephone!

But here I sit
A mossless stone.
Smiling through the pain
Sitting and crying at home.

My Parents Beat Me (or Nothing Is Good)

The final finished product complete with harmonies, percussion, and actual mixing.

Lyrics:
Come one come call to the sweetest fall
Ing of autumn leaves
Look as they float and fly away
Into the River Lee
Listen to the rumble as clouds roll by
Filled with drops of pain
As you and I sit and cry remember
None of this is in vain

So listen, listen
To the sounds of the sky
Listen listen
To the sounds of you and I
And listen

And listen listen as I speak upon a chord
And listen listen as I become unmoored
And just listen

Observe the surrounding ignore thoughts abounding
In your troubled head
Sense a new smell hear a church bell
Before crawling in bed
Look at the stars and passing cars
Beautiful beams
Of light late at night they take away the fright
And give you pleasant dreams

So listen, listen
To the sounds of the sky
Listen listen
To the sounds of you and I
And listen

And listen listen I've made a grave mistake
And listen I'm sorry I took the love you make
So just listen

I'm sorry I did what I did my dear
I never loved you so
I was lonely and sad just a passing fad
That you helped me forego
We moved too fast knew that it couldn't last
But I came back anyway
You took me in gave me tonic and gin
And I didn't have the guts to say

So I said

Listen, listen
To the sounds of the sky
Listen listen
To the sounds of you and I
But now I've gotta say

Listen listen we haven't got a thing we share
Listen listen our hearts don't make a pair
Please listen

Listen listen listen listen
Soon the pain will lessen
Listen listen listen listen
We've both learned our lesson

Listen listen listen listen
Tune the pain we'll listen
Listen listen listen listen
We've both learned our lesson

So please listen to me
By the River Lee

Longwise Expanse Version 0

This is the prettiest song I've ever written for the prettiest girl I've ever met. 

When I met you these were just chords that lacked meaning or melody. But it was only a short while before my head filled with the words and even shorter before I skyped you to sing it from 1500 miles away. It was the only way I had the courage to say those three little words that meant, and still mean, the world. 

Merry Christmas, Alex. 
I love you. :)

VERSE
I have a phrase I wanna get off of my chest
You said it the before and it took away my breath
I drank quite a bit for the courage I'll admit
But I've just decided I don’t want us to quit

CHORUS
But I know I've got to say
Alex
I've gotta get these words off my chest
I love you and I think you know the rest
Three little words I've run away from
Maybe it’s early or the time has just come
But I love you and I hope you do too

VERSE
You doubt all you do and who truly loves you
But your voice has turned blue and I hope you know it's true
Maybe it’ll fade back into red
But know that I'm here when you wake up in bed

CHORUS
But I know I've got to say
Alex
I've gotta get these words off my chest
I love you and I think you know the rest
Three little words I've run away from
Maybe it’s early or the time has just come
But I love you and I hope you do too

Alex

Motherly love comes in the simplest forms.

I wrote this song originally as a poem at around 2 or 3 in the morning because me and some friends thought it'd be fun to write poetry and share with each other. Most of them were jokes or satirical but this one came through very honestly. I knew I had to make it into a song. 

I love you, mom.
Merry Christmas!

VERSE 1
A whisper in my ear
And a warming hug
A warning you say
To keep the bed bug away

I ask you stay here
The rooms cold and dark 
You say okay and then remark
I sure love you
Let's lighten the room

CHORUS
You flick the switch
Crystal lights dance
All gone my fear and fright
A mothers love and my night light

VERSE 2
You read a picture book
Stories silly I still miss
We're nestled in my nook
Antics I wrestled to make you look

When you left I cried wolf
Monsters and demons stay away
Your smile is tired but true i pray
A dance done before
Let's lighten the room

CHORUS
You flick the switch
Crystal lights dance
All gone my fear and fright
A mothers love and my night light

Night Light

This track is either the first or second song I ever wrote on Ukulele(I wrote them both within an hour of each other and can't remember). My girlfriend Alex had left on a trip to Tuscon with her mom and I was alone for the first time in a while. We were still very much in the honeymoon phase of dating and all I could think to sing when I was hammering out some nice sounding chords was "I wanna go far away". Not sure where. Not sure why. But it needed to be with her. That's all that mattered.

I like to think that's what love should feel like. And everyone deserves love. So as my final Christmas present song. This one goes to everyone. 

Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
And a very wonderful Festivus, y'know, for the rest of us.

VERSE
I wanna go far away
In summer heat to you say hey
And maybe we can leave today
And be happy again
I wanna go far away
A nice open place with a view of the bay
Where we can walk and we can stray
And be happy again

CHORUS 
And maybe we'll have to go in the end
But for now, let's just pretend
And maybe we'll get to stay in the end
And maybe I can marry my best friend

BRIDGE
You know that I can’t stay here
You know that I cant say here
Without you
Without you

VERSE
I know that we both have dreams
And giving it up I know how it seems
No fame and no fortune I know what it means
But isn’t the thought nice
Maybe I'm just lost in the feams
My life is crumbling just look at the beams
But look at the pretty and flowing streams
Isn’t the thought nice

CHORUS
And maybe we'll have to go in the end
But for now, let's just pretend
And maybe we'll get to stay in the end
And maybe I can marry my best friend

I Wanna Go (Far Away)
