Beautiful... just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!  Amazing too!!!

Recorded at 3pm on November 2, 2021, Longmont, Colorado
🌙 Waning Crescent Moon 

Artist's Note: 
My god this year - it's been hard and frightening for me as I work through all the things that have been keeping me from being more of myself. Turns out...I have been hiding myself under a bushel basket with a defensive attitude, shirked responsibilities, and a concept of love that was forged in a "me first" mentality. Facing the hard truths of myself has been also liberating. Loving people pumps the well. Let the river flow, man! Definitely worth some dancing and celebration. This recording captures some of that joy. It's a jubilee. -joe November 11, 2021

Deja Vibe Test

A door I couldn’t open
A place I shouldn’t be
I’m afraid of falling
In a world you built for me

Overcome with fear
Stopping in my tracks
Building you a closet
For you and all your friends

I’m only here to serve you
What’s the point of this
You can choose your outfit
I am you and you are me

The trip is almost over
The dance is starting soon
You needed 30 minutes
To put on your foundation

A Door I Couldn't Open

A cover of one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs

Memory Lane - Elliott Smith cover

I self destructed when i had the world in my hands
Everyone moved on without me
I gave it all away Now I am awake
Everything i do is selfish

I pissed away the best days of my life
I made a choice and there’s no going back
I saved all my messages from you
Everything I do is selfish

I can feel her getting weary
She can tell that I have touched her
Maybe i should close this chapter
Everything we do is selfish.

Everything We Do Is Selfish.

You used me in your dreams, there’s nothing left for me.
I never meant to hurt you, so I did nothing.
Staring out the window and there’s nothing left for me
I never meant to hurt you, so I did nothing.

Maybe you are just as miserable as i am.
You paint a picture of peace and understanding
in the end, Maybe there is hope for me 
Hopefully your picture is an illusion

Maybe, You Are Just As Miserable As I Am

Missed Connections

Omens guide me whilst I enter these gardens, hearing the ancient hymns from a slumbering dimension upon with pathways I traverse. The waves deepen around me, the winds begin to surround from metaphysical awakening, reaching worlds end eternally vagabond ... whence the architect breathes.
