Isle Of Avalon

Written and recorded as part of the Album Writing Club project May 2022

Heavy

Old Misery

Just a rough mix of a new song for my next album, which will lean heavily on Bossa Novas. Imagine yourself strolling through a Kmart in about 1981 and this seems oddly appropriate. All instruments & vocals by me.

Dark horse, came from nothin’
Disregards whatever makes his life complete
Black sheep, started runnin’
Traveled far, searchin’ for something to beat
Black eye, hindered vision
Head aloft, forcing us to understand
Boxed ears, you never listen
Shouting off whoever wants to lend a hand

What a struggle when you’re always right
How difficult that seems
If only all of us would see the light
We could start building your dreams

Reelin’ mad, so pathetic
Debate is trash when winning is the only goal
Feelin’ bad, sympathetic
Watching as you spiral down a rabbit hole
Honor bound, keep on talkin’
Right or not, you’re acting like a total douche
Turn around, just start walkin’
Haven’t got the energy to deal with you

Can just imagine all the bridges burning and fences you’ve built up
Walls and chambers, battlements as you refuse the drawbridge lowered

Fair play that fateful Tuesday
Shot a dove and pushed away an olive branch
His way or the highway
Makes a peace sign with his fist and calls it righteousness
Can’t miss the looks and comments
I’ve been catchin’ all the salty vibes you’re sendin’ me
If this is how he treats us
Just imagine what he visits on his enemies

All the demons and the feral winds that you loose upon your home
Can maybe chalk it up to arrogance as to why you die alone

Scenes From an Empty Stage

Fences

This song is about leveling up in life, letting go of what haters think, and just doing you.

13 You Can't See The Wind

I'm a songwriter, singer, piccolo bassist, bassist, drummer, mediocre keyboardist, crappy guitarist, and recording engineer all in one convenient person.  I put the "mental" in "multi-instrumentalist".

I record my songs all by myself because nobody else can stand working with me. 

I like rock, pop, jazz, lounge, alternative and a few other things that defy classification.
