Everyone has a Zombie song
Even I had a Zombie song....not a good one....I couldn't fix it.
So, I chose to burn it down and start from new.

And what were the Zombies doing?  They were rising again...

Rise Again

First, I have to say here, this is the first song I intentionally wrote as Filk.
And, it filled a hole I noticed at the time.
We had so many songs of Humans coming to the stars, taking the stars, fighting the aliens or other Humans...even the aliens striking first.
Or, the aliens coming to find out we've wiped ourselves out..

But never an empathic song about how the aliens felt with us taking their stars....or, at least, none I'd heard at the time

So, I wrote this,

The Last Safe Holding

I wrote this in reaction to the advertisements for Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration.  It's cute.  Not a great song but cute.

Doctor Disney's Scheme

I can't really remember how this song came about.
It started off as a silly bit of fluff and remains so.

But, it's fun and people like to hear it, so...

Godzilla Vs Cthulhu

This song came to me over dinner, at the Chinese place across from the OVFF hotel on Friday night of that con.  We'd ordered food and sat to eat when Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night" came on the restaurant's audio.

So, as we ate, my mind started twisting words and this is what came out of that.

Getting Out Of Alderaan Tonight

Celebrating the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas", I make it clear  have no issues with Jack the Pumpkin King taking over Chrismas!!

Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas

This is just a short, hopefully cute, play on how the heroes are often not as unstoppable as one would think

Pride

Well back in the day(Early 2000's), I was at a Philcon Filk sing where Dr. Catherine Faber was a guest.  During those sings, as will happen, we were talking about how we write songs, and Dr. Faber talked about structure, saying "One Syllable, Two Syllable's"...
And I was off.
The result was this song, which I hope you enjoy.

The Song Writing Song

I wrote this over a decade ago.  But, in this post-factual world in which we live, it seems it is time to post it.  Because we need love songs to Science and Fact, and the role they play in getting us to this modern world.

There To Here

Disclaimer: I have never worked in Data Entry, but have been in roles similarly soul-crushing during my career.
That said, I feel this will strike a chord with those who get paid to handle mind-numbing tasks.  Like those workers, I've struggled to keep jobs where I have to fight to stop my mind screaming to be freed while I must keep to my tasks.
