Music I composed for Brett Weiner's short film, "Verbatim," which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and has inspired an Op-Docs video series for The New York Times. Watch the whole film at http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/opinion/verbatim-what-is-a-photocopier.html  

Music composed for the short film, "Verbatim"

A fansong for the wonderful game In Stars And Time by insertdisc5. Contains spoilers for the entire game, as well as spoilers for an optional event at the very end (if obliquely). If you have not completed that optional event, the outro of this song is also optional; the main part of the song ends at 3:25. 

Lyrics:

Verse 1
You wake up on the grass and start the show again
You paste your smile on and hope you don’t get noticed by your friends
Your allies, family, fellow actors in this play
You can’t let them know you’re dying outside, inside a little more each day
When the stars above have burned out, when the story just won’t end
Pretend you aren’t tired of playing pretend

Verse 2 
You pray to someone else’s god for one night’s rest
You don’t feel much these days but at least nobody’s asked if you’re depressed
--Which is good, because you’re really doing fine
Surely you would get a perfect loop if you could just remember all your lines
When the world around feels hollow, when the past is blurred by mist
Rub your arms and remind yourself that you exist

Chorus 
In time things will get better
But good days reset and your mind forgets so you’ll stay not better forever
In time maybe you’ll get what you wished for
But that time will not be now, so take your bows and give an encore

Bridge                        
I was never born to be an actor on the stage
Yet I’ve been acting since that day I woke up to a blank page
Acting like I have a past, like I don’t need them to stay
And all this acting’s only hurting me and pushing them away
But who am I, really? Who am I underneath the smile?
If you take away the mask will the person left be someone worth your while?
I just want something to be real

Chorus 
In time things will get better
But good days reset and your mind forgets so you’ll stay not better forever
In time maybe you’ll get what you wished for
But that time will not be now
Someday
The curtains will fall closed
Things can be okay even when they don’t go the way you thought they were s’posed to
But that time will not be now
You’ll still make it somehow
But ‘til then how ‘bout you go and give an encore
For now  all you can do is give an encore


Outro
Praise to the stars
To them, my wish I sing
Help me reach tomorrow
Protect them from the King
I would give my body
I would give my soul
The Universe leads
I only follow

In time
Things will get better
In time
Maybe you’ll know what you’re here for
In time
Freed from your fetters
In time
But for now go give an encore
In blood
And stars
In tears
And time
In time
And stars
In time
And stars

Encore (In Time)

The Adventure Zone: Dust Theme

Inspired by the moment in The Adventure Zone: Amnesty when the three main characters meet.

TAZ Inspired

Meeting at The Gate

Really rough draft of something I've been working on for a couple days.

Pulse

A Remix of Griffin Mcelroy's Beautiful music from The Adventure Zone podcast, Amnesty Series.

Pine Guard Die Hard (a The Adventure Zone Amnesty Remix)

Had this idea ever since hearing The Adventure Zone's Crystal Kingdom arc – the crinkle tinkle song but in the style of folk music! The style of this cover is inspired by shapenote singing, traditional American hymns, and Appalachian folk songs. 

Original song by Griffin McElroy.

I’m stuck in this moment
Cause it shines beautiful
So do these streetlights
And so do you
Wish we could stay here
Without so much as blinking
Keep you in my eyeline

eaJ - Guess not

Feels like God’s been upset all night long
Rain won’t stop 
Pouring so my shirt just won’t dry off 
But I’m inside

Cause I told you I was so done
Couldn’t deal with bloodshed no more
Said I’d be alright
Want you out tonight
Burned my heart in the sky
So you’d see your crime

I hurt me
Hoping you hurt too

Funny how I left cause you were a lie and now I’m one
Cause I said that I wouldn’t but I miss you so damn much

Now I’m just like you cause

I said I’d be alright
But I guess not

Guess Not

eaJ - 50 proof

Do you still wake to sunsets
and eat home alone
watching the moonrise
asking on and on
what's gone wrong

How you been doing
you sleeping alright
I'm worried your tears
still wake you up at night
and you know why
but you don't know why
at the same time

Who holds you on your 50 proof high
been worried all night 
wondering all night
who loves you now

Who wipes the problems 
like leaves turned autumn
when they won't stop falling 
from your eyes
and from your sighs
who loves you 
now
