This is super rough and has mistakes. A rough demo of a song I wrote about my marriage. Happy Anniversary to Joe.

Beautiful

A good friend of mine from high school lost their daughter in a tragic accident. Her favorite song was Dance Monkey. My friend asked me if I knew someone who could make a slower arrangement of the song he could listen to and remember her. I've been trying to learn a little more about recording and arranging so I told him I'd do it, with the caveat that it would not be perfect. And it isn't! My guitar playing is hack and I don't really know how to do all the fancy stuff to my vocals, etc. It was never meant to be a big release but I learned a lot and I've posted it here if you'd like to take a listen. Much love to my friend and his daughter Emma who will not be forgotten.

Still Small Voice

This is a very rough demo of a song I wrote about my sister, Julie. She has a series of paintings she has created while struggling with terminal kidney cancer. She is my hero. Some of her paintings are described in the song. You can find out more about her at juliesnotdyingtoday.com.

Red Dress Girl

Sometimes we rush each other through the toughest part of losing someone with flippant, breezy comments about the afterlife. Sometimes it doesn't help.... This is a song I wrote as I was in the midst of those feelings one day, contemplating the loss of my sister and the things some people said to try to make everything be okay. 

In real life I believe Heaven is beautiful and beyond all my imaginings. It's the more popular, smaller, simplified speculations that make me bristle a little. 

No matter what the answer is in the end, I am living now and I want it to mean something and to love it now. Today I feel like I don't want to rush to the end and what's after that, amazing as it may be.

The Long Way

All I want for President is the most boring person in the world
Plain, smart, nerdy and bland
Busy taking care of the tasks at hand
I don’t want to know what their toilet is made of
Or what they watch on TV
I don’t need to wish we could go have a beer
And if it’s all the same to you, could it be a she?
All I want for President is the most boring person in the world 
Trustworthy, kind, pragmatic and frugal
No seedy past comes up on google 
I dream of going days at a time 
Waking up without feeling the sky’s gonna fall
Days at a time without thinking about the president at all!
