Watermark

I was sitting in St. Nicholas Park at dusk, plucking my violin quietly, getting frustrated that the insects biting me were “preventing me” from “focusing” and coming up with any lyrics.

By the time I walked the 3 blocks to my apartment, the whole song had appeared in my head.

I imagined a setting back home in Alaska, sitting on a porch outside a house party, having an awkward yet beautiful encounter with someone very dear.

I played this song at a house show for a friend, songwriter, and producer Evan Crommett. He helped me produce it, adding synthesizers, backup vocals, and texture while I offered input and mandolin. This project opened my eyes to the world of music production, and gave a glimpse into how “the sausage gets made”. 

LYRICS:

Mmm I like it better outside
Quiet and a porch light
And a breeze

You, you’re lookin at me funny
Don’t stare it makes me cringy
Just calm down

No nobody else knows how far back it goes
I don’t care if it stings
Sit by me

Oooooh bugs are out tonight
Let them bite, I don’t mind

I, I wish I weren’t so quiet
Wish I could just say it
Help me out

I don’t care if it stings

You, you look kinda chilly
Come on closer near me
I don’t mind

Mmmm I guess I make you angry
You know it’s really not my
Fault at all

So I can say goodbye or you could just grow
I don’t care if it stings
Look at me

You just seem a bit embarrassed 
I really shouldn’t care less
But I do

Ahhhhh, I look into your eyes
We smile at some light
No one else can see

Stings

Thin Mints

There Soon

Corduroy

They say what luck
You're coming up roses with no seeds,
No sun
Astonishing for just everyone
It's gotta be those fluffy clouds of fate
Raining down on your face

Wash away
All the thirst
All the late nights thinking I could burst
Into hurt
Like a flameless supernova churns
Just a blurb
And voice from nowhere:

Overnight select me, please
I'm gonna the next one to make them dream
I'm gonna pass it on down
That American sound

That you gotta believe
But they don't want to see you bleed
They don't want to see you bleed
They don't want to see you bleed

I trust in the toil
In the burning of the witching hour oil
But it's slow
And I look up to that bright florescent glow and
I know
It's so white hot I'll sweat right out my clothes
As I go
Then pretend I'm pure as Adam in the grove
Baby
No fig leaves, just a look that says, "who, me?"
(Crazy!)
I never thought I'd be something so free.
(Maybe!)
Hey mister don't you know they all love me!
God I'm so lucky
Yeah

Overnight select me, please
I'm gonna the next one to make them dream
I'm gonna pass it on down
That American sound

That you gotta believe
But they don't want to see you bleed
They don't want to see you bleed
They don't want to see you bleed

Overnight Select Me Please
