Hot Like Hades (demo)

lyrics:
Your tongue coats your teeth with lies
Tall man, tall tales, tired eyes

I know I'm not hot enough to date but you'll validate me for now and I'll take it
You didn't care enough to wait a sec and contemplate on what the fuck's at stake, but I'll fake it

Your tongue coats your teeth with lies
Tall man, tall tales, tired eyes

Now I know exactly what you're asking:
How the fuck would you find something lasting
that was just as good or better later on?
But it's too much so can you wait?
Cuz I'm like this close to another breakdown
For something unrelated, leaves are fallin, suffocate

Your tongue coats your teeth with lies
Tall man, tall tales, tired eyes
I was your victim to defile
Don't want your noblesse oblige

sorry for overdoing it again

This color-study paints the joyful cacophony of gathering places where people routinely meet. Whether religious or otherwise, rituals (such as attending church, participating in community choir, or volunteering) give life meaningful structure and provide opportunities for fellowship. 
Inspired by the Indian tamboura, I tuned all the strings of my guitar to G and D. I then explored several timbres, such as touching a harmonic on a vibrating open string, using my nails to create buzzing, or strumming molto sul pont. Vocals followed the same principle, using a spectrum from breathy to nasal color.
This piece was created for for Nicholas Perry Clark and UMKC Musica Nova's Spring '24 program, "God and Other Needs."

Fellowship Song

willow

aGa
Breathing in I go back to the island within myself.
aG
There are beautiful trees within the island,
G
there are clear streams of water,
a
there are birds, sunshine and fresh air,
Ga
breathing out I feel safe.
aGa
I enjoy going back to my island.
