very nice playing, always love the mood and composition of your work

I really like the lyrics in this one. And of course the instrumental is great too with that deep bass and tasteful solo around 2:00 :)

I love the mood, and the melody. Such bittersweet words. It's dreamy and far-away but also timeless.

I love the chorus of this song. The implications within the verses are also really thought-provoking.

Mmmmm, this piano part, though. Gorgeous. Wish I could lay that kind of sound down.

Eats you up from the inside
Multiplying like a virus designed solely to destroy
Fight so hard but it's impossible
Rendered helpless small mutations making anxious every

Moment that passes every
Hospital room knelt by the bathtub
Dark clouds hang above no more to empty below

Past mistakes and changing course
Newer treatments side effects that render function null and void
Medications fail to work
Curling inward causing fear and more frustration each

Procedure successful or not
Those hospital bills put red in the ledger
Even if surviving how can one live without food on the table
Moments that pass in every
Hospital room knelt by the bathtub
Dark clouds hang above no more to empty below

The Tragedy Of Living After

Of conflicted hearts.

Love Always

she refused to talk
didn't she just say she couldn't take it anymore?
now he's listening
but the words won’t come out

she called the police
after many bruises, many black eyes and several years
wasn’t he the one?
but the price was too high

doesn’t love always hurt?

she’s his one true love
wasn’t this the same he saw dad did to his mom?
she would beg sometimes
dad, is there a way out?

doesn’t love always hurt?

tears flow down his face
as his hands get cuffed and he finally understands
it came down to this
then he kisses her goodbye

doesn’t love always hurt?

A Sinner Like Me

Lyrics:

I wrote this song,
Sitting on my bathroom floor
Where did we go wrong?
Could have I done something more?

I’m wondering how
In this universe, we came to be
From so far apart,
We found each other easily

I’m wondering why
When everything was meant to be
Did we fall apart?
Could love be loved so carelessly?
Could love be loved so carelessly?

We live for moments
Fearing our mortality
Thank god in heavens
It sees us through reality

But I’m still, wondering when
Could I have seen the little signs
To warn me about
This love that would vapourize

I’m wondering what
Could I have done so differently?
Is there no excuse?
If loves been loved so carelessly?
Has love been loved so carelessly?

Forgiven (Cover)

Someone told me I should tell you "knock it off, stop it or
or else I'm gonna make you wish you had"
but I remember Marshall said when he made his children wish they had
they'd make him wish he'd been a gentler man
A teacher friend once said to me that kids behave when they can
and when they can't there's something going on
if everything that we all do is from a need, and for a reason
I think I'd rather ask if something's wrong

So I don't wanna tell you "knock it off"
Well, that's not true - I totally do sometimes
but I'd rather try and understand what's going on for you
in your heart, in your life

Who am I to give advice? And I don’t wanna patronise
but I’m wondering if you’ve got a lot to hold
I hear the talk around the town, I see you push the others down 
Are you trying to lift yourself out of a hole?
And what do I know, I’m just guessing, but there among the mess and stress
Is there fear and hurt, that don’t feel safe to show?
Do they tell you you should be a man? do you hold the tears back with your anger?
It’s how it was for me when I was young

So I don't wanna tell you "knock it off"
I mean, I do - I totally do sometimes
but I'd rather try and understand what's going on for you
in your heart, in your life

And I want to be free
to let the others bleed
And hold my tender self when that’s what I need
But if I’m whole and strong enough 
to bring my heart along I wanna 
meet the other’s feelings where they are 
Cause that’s the only place to start

So I don't wanna tell you "knock it off"
Well, that’s not true - I totally do sometimes
but I'd rather try and understand what's going on for you
in your heart, in your life

Love Always
