A Collaborative Project

The Fates

Project 1

a little sumfing i've been working on

lyrics
its funny sometimes
you and i could be
in the same place
a smile on your face 
say you're fine
but I know you 
and you're not


I could wait
just sit and hesitate 
leave it up to fate 
already pretty late
its coming soon
but i know you
and you're not 

we can sit here 
days turn into years
playing the part
can't you show your heart
I'm trying to act cool 
but you know me
and I'm not

one foot in and 5wks out
plans falling through
keep having my doubts
could call this friends
but you don't know me
and we're not

Blood Summer

next track in the trying-out-songwriting sega. in the words of hans neimann "the song speaks for itself"

lyrics
(vs.1)
so what you gonna do 
thats what i will say 
staring at the ceiling
another wasted day
where am I aiming
and do i even care    
seems if I did,
i should be half-way there
i'll tell you what i
always thought I really wanted
but if i'm being honest
im just here

(chorus)
and i'll be okay, okay?
   
(vs.2)
so what’s it gonna take
and do i need to change
to persue a passion 
what ill do for doings sake
usettled aspiration
will it pass me by 
if I seek out the shelter of 
a safe suburban life
is there a best i can do for my sake
rest of my days or just a phase
 


(chorus 2)
and i'll be okay, okay?
i’ll find it someday

(outro)
theres really no way, but maybe, maybe someday?
someday soon
i'll find it someday, someday

1,2,3

One night after watching family videos for several hours I came to the realization that all of the siblings in my family have written and recorded songs, but there has never been a context in which we all sang and played on one together! To remedy this, last year around this time I got the gang together and recorded something I’m grateful we can look back on for years to come. While recording, mixing, and editing, I found myself tearing up multiple times reflecting back on all the memories we have shared together and I can’t think of a better song to reflect that.

From the Vandenberg Kids, I want to wish you Merry Christmas!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

This is an archived one from way back in January 2021. Okay, now for a trivia question- who do you think inspired this song?

Happy Accidents

Summer has always been my favourite season. Great memories never cease to include some degree of tomfoolery. From losing the car keys tubing to flipping the canoe on the river, It wouldn't be a summer memory without some negligence + silliness. For me, this little song/video helps to encapsulate the good times along the way as I get older and hopefully wiser (A theme throughout a little EP I'm working on). Who knows? Maybe some summer soon I'll squeak through with minimal sunburns.

Lyrics:

(verse 1)
waking up at 8, another nap on a weeknight
rup my eyes I still can't see straight, doc says it's the blue light
showing up too late, missing memories that's why
i'm saving coupons it's a damn shame, catch a deal on lost time

(chorus)
i, one foot at a time, forever
we, see what we can find, chase the weather

(verse 2)
realize too late, burnt red and my ears are pink
might just be fate, prudence through pain you'd think
lost my keys so confused, yeah i'm dumbfounded, 
or maybe i'm just dumb, reckless and young now granted

(chorus 2)
i, one foot at a time, forever
we, see what we can find, chase the weather
