This is a work I did for the feature film Boom Productions.

Well, I posted it so I guess I have to do it.  I'll set the scene if it makes it cooler for you - this is me and my trusty Alvarez going one-take directly into my (also) trusty MacBook, no effects, no fancy studio magic (though I could probably use it), with a song I started writing yesterday.  That tapping you hear is my bare foot on our hardwood floor, and if you listen closely you might hear trucks zooming by on the 20A and Woo! chewing on a bone.  Kicking a bout of what could only have been whooping cough, so my voice is a bit rough but it seems to suit the song.  

I'm like a broken cup
the world keeps tryin to fill me up
but I spill out on the floor
I'm an open door
and you just walk right through me

Dogs are barkin down the street
can't take this racket anymore
I've got this itchin in my feet
yeah, I'm an open door
let's move out to the country
let's move out to the town
we'll tell the stars our secrets
and they won't make a sound

I'm like a half-read book
longing for a second look
but you still can't put me down
I'm a tear, I'm a frown
I guess I'll always be your clown

Open Door

A beautiful Carole King tune originally played by The Monkees and covered in the style of Taj Mahal.
