2016, II

I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I don't wanna be funny anymore. 
Lately, I've been feeling like the odd man out.
I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud.

I don't wanna be funny anymore. 
I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one.
Is there room in the band? I don't need to be the front man. 
If not, then I'll be the biggest fan. 

I don't want the joke to be on me.
Yeah, I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed.
Yeah, I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest.
I'll play guitar and I'll be the artist. 

Try not to laugh.
I know it'll be hard.
I'm serious.
I know it's a first but...

I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I'll be the gossip, hear it through the grape vine.
Pass it on, she's done with the old times.
That funny girl doesn't wanna smile for a while. 

I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore

DIIV // Under The Sun

First single from the new Woods album, City Sun Eater In The River Of Light, out April 8, 2016.

WOODS
CITY SUN EATER IN THE RIVER OF LIGHT
LABEL: WOODSIST
CD / LP / CS / DL
Street Date: April 8, 2016

"Woods have always been experts at distilling life epiphanies into compact chunks of psychedelic folk that exists just outside of any sort of tangible time or place. Maybe those epiphanies were buried under cassette manipulation or drum-and-drone freakouts, or maybe they were cloaked in Jeremy Earl’s lilting falsetto, but over the course of an impressive eight albums, Woods refined and drilled down their sound into City Sun Eater in the River of Light, their ninth LP and second recorded in a proper studio. It’s a dense record of rippling guitar, lush horns, and seductive, bustling anxiety about the state of the world. It’s still the Woods you recognize, only now they’re dabbling in zonked out Ethiopian jazz, pulling influence from the low key simmer of Brown Rice, and tapping into the weird dichotomy of making a home in a claustrophobic city that feels full of possibility even as it closes in on you. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is concise, powerful, anxious—barreling headlong into an uncertain, constantly shifting new world." -Sam Hockley-Smith

Wild Nothing // Life of Pause

I was asked to write a lullaby for Stephen Colbert as part of a skit for the show.  Unfortunately the bit was cut for time/content.  

Maybe, Sweet One, You Won't Have Nightmares Tonight

thanks to bryce linde (soundcloud.com/fortune-howl) for help with bass programming

lyrics:
gotta' house
rav 4

in your high 
are the less so low?

before
lo-fi

i want time and
my life's so low

getting 
too tired

you'd be damned
damned if i--
i've been sent

I'm smiling
so saran

I'm smiling
saran

getting high is life
gotta' go

in the wild
so let's go

in between
low blows

feel all high 
and my lights are low

i'm feeling tired
in Tucson

in the wild,
you're feeling your ass off
feeling your ass off
feeling like that's not all you're running from

New track off Tape 3.

Aloha - Don't Wanna Win

"First World Problem" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Artwork by Henrietta Harris

Lyrics:
When I woke
I found my phone in the bed clothes
and the curtain glowed crimson through the window
To think of her was to want her
Would you want me too?

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem 

I know that I was better as a loser
She's eating birthday cake inside the disco
I may be lost but I'm a lost man
In love with you

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem
