Nothing To Explain

Soul-infused piano rock. Written 1/5/19

i only gave a little
of my shy and wounded heart
i only gave a fraction
was enough to fall apart
i gave it for the memory of us curled up in the dark
for that i gave a little of my heart

joined in skin and silence
from 8 o clock til noon
entwined in breath and touch
in our angular little room
fell asleep to tarantino and we woke up in a spoon
just you and me in our angular little room

wanna get back to your backless dress
die to get back to your sweet caress
you showered me with kindness
and it vanished just as fast
the time and place were wrong, alas,
we were but two mere ships that pass

all that's left is a six-week collection
of your pixelated hearts
the setting sun of your zeroes and ones
spanning the miles apart
a scrapbook for a romance that ends before it starts
a fading trove of pixelated hearts

wanna get back to your soft pale skin
die to get back to your perfect porcelain
we kept our boundaries, watched our backs
our hearts would trickle through the cracks
it was written all across our faces
our bodies lie in distant places

i only gave a little
of my guarded patchwork heart
surrendered measured pieces
still enough to fall apart
someday when you're lonely, will my name appear in the dark?

you said you loved to grab me
and hold me, and never let go
well i want you to know, you had me,
but it's okay
these things happen

and for that i gave a little of my heart

A Little

When I was a *teen*, freshly on break from college, home and sad, I recorded my own version of Pink Floyd's classic album 'The Wall' in its entirety (save for "Bring the Boys Back Home") from the confines of my bedroom (save for a couple walks to the living room to use the grand piano). All musical sounds made by me. All synth effects made with a Yamaha beginner psr I got for my 9th birthday, patched through a Digitech rp6. All camp british accents performed badly by me.

Recorded with Magix Music Maker, a Ross Systems 16-channel mixer, a Tascam porta-studio, and my trusty HP Pavilion desktop, circa 2000.

All sounds by me.

Only (Nine Inch Nails cover)

Over two decades ago I recorded a solo version of Pink Floyd's seminal album 'Dark Side of the Moon', playing every instrument, singing every vocal part, using a Yamaha keyboard meant for children on the organ/synth parts, and a busted digitech RP6 for all guitar effects. Also I hit a D two octaves above middle C during Great Gig In the Sky.

                              

Dark Side of the Moon (full album, 1999-2000)

A sweet and chill song I wrote about getting married on New Years Day 2020.
