Void (external Theory)- Eyedea & Abilities

Ramblin

One of a few of Kris' songs I like to play. Two behringer microphone's into a focusrite Itrack with an unplugged 78 Hohner acoustic Hank Jr. edition. Recorded in a living room with low ceilings.

Jesus Was a Capricorn - Kris Kristofferson (Cover)

Medley I learned not long after I first started playing guitar, haven't played it in years but I love playing it. Heard it watching Cool Hand Luke when I was a teenager, then heard Jack Johnson play this medley on his weekend at The Greek concert DVD I bought as a freshmen, synchronicity and all. Recorded on my new Zoom H5, really excited about its potential. One line in to the Taylor, one to an acoustic mic and using the built in LR condensers for vocals. Recorded in my living room, really excited about getting this in some good space once I figure it out.

Plastic Jesus - Fall Line - Spring Wind Medley

Well I setup all my shit to record, started picking and decided to do a little back and forth. This is improvisational, minus the nearly ten years of practice I've put in with words and guitar. Ended up glad I decided to start recording my fucking arounds. You can tell I'm making it up as I go, start off with open ended word play and do a lot of repeating myself that's more stalling than emphasis. This is about my ex girlfriend if you haven't listened, the picture accompanying this song is of the exact guitar that my girlfriend soullessly smashed on the concrete. This picture is after I glued it back together. Was restringing this guitar after gluing it back together, using my ipad to tune when the jingle happened. Packed up and left within hours. This is tongue-in-cheek but I've told myself I'd never write a bitter or condescending song about past loves and I still haven't. Haven't written this down. I'm not going to. Not fucking with this song again. Read the title.


Enough About You

Playing with the new iphone at lunch. taylor unplugged capo 4. space heater in the background.

Lunchtime Rag

Well I think that says it all. Singing a robert earl keen song while living in a trailer in the middle of damn nowhere. 

Drunk front porch song {robert earl keen(real, real drunk)}

Recorded the guitar and vocals in the music room at cityparc denton, played the piano with my keyboard from 6th grade on top of that recording before class one day in my apt. By far the best production I've ever produced.

Atmosphere - Woman With The Tattooed Hands (acoustic)

Just having some fun playing around with garage band on the old ipad, decided to chipmunk it out. I gotta get a decent mic for the pad.

lyrics
shes a nefarious sagitarrius, where shes at is where the party is
koolaids for kids and her ailments are what the alcohol rids
from life or what it feels like, between thoughts of leavin n tryna act right
she's so polite, at least to herself, when she look in the mirror she don't see a girl needin help
but neither do I cause I ain't a judge just a guy with too much damn wood in his own eye
and those words- straight from jesus, so out of all the words in the verse them be the cleanest
or the most plagiarised, or the most adjusted to please rich n powerful eyes, now you know me but nows not my time to get a rise?
(prolly not, lazy fucks)
I said oh my god, I have been here too long
please take me from this place before I do more wrong
this is for a lady, I guess every lady
who got treated wrong by a man that favored actin shady
not enough balls tell the truth just enough to call you baby
when it all falls down to some of that what have you done for me lately
now theres never been a doubt that love makes composed people go crazy
and the reason why we does those things in retrospect are hazy
but the values from the lessons that we learn are unchanging
in time it comes out fine when at first it's devistating
step back reevaluate and start some personal cultivating
clean your slate, clean up the pad do some habitual rearranging
we see the good in life, see past the irritating
the imperfections are misdirections

I will fuck the present until it is pregnant with my future.
