Laughter Is Cruel

They said: "Do something useful"
But here I am
with a riff in my head
and ink on my hands
No empire
Just melody
No profit.
Just... silly poetry

I made a list of things to do
Then danced around it barefoot
Built a castle out of emails
Let the inbox burn for good

Tried to solve the meaning of
A sigh, a glance, a rhyme
But all I found was stardust
In the pockets of my time

So I sang instead of planning
Laughed instead of proof
Held a note too long and let it
Run away with truth
If life's a test, I missed it
If it's a climb, I mimed
What a glorious waste of time!
What a glorious waste of time!

I mapped my fears in fractals
Tried to quantify delight
Filed my heartbreaks alphabetically
But love refused to write

I traced my flaws in mirror fog
Then waved as they dissolved
Turns out you don't fix everything
some things you just evolve

So I danced instead of doubting
Slept in past my prime
Broke a rule by being kind
And called it paradigm
If joy's an act of treason
Then charge me with the crime
What a glorious waste of time!
What a glorious waste of time!

I tuned the world in minor thirds
Composed in coffee stains
Wrote symphonies on napkins
And cried on midnight trains

They built machines to conquer time
I gave mine to a song
And found a kind of forever
In what didn't last too long

We lived like flawed equations
But hummed in perfect rhyme
Built cathedrals out of chaos
And stained glass out of slime
We made it to the ending
with nothing left to prove
but everything to claim
What a glorious waste of time!
What a glorious waste of time!

Glorious Waste of Time

Tout est parti d’un moment gênant — un anniversaire, des bougies, et un invité qui vole la vedette avec une annonce absurde : “ma copine et moi on va se marier”.Mon pote gratteux et moi , On s’est regardés, on a ri, et on a dit : faut que ça devienne une chanson. Quelques riffs plus tard, on avait donné naissance à "My surprise ".

My surprise

Walked Through Fire

The first song I ever wrote. Written in 1995 after a Tracy Lawrence/Wade Hayes concert.
Arrangement made with "Band in a Box" and mixed using Sonar.

If I Had Those Words (to hold you to)

I wrote this song in support of domestic violence survivors. Domestic violence is a huge issue in the US and elsewhere in the world. Please do what you can to support the National Domestic Violence Hotline or other organizations that empower women to live a life without fear. Call 1-800-799-SAFE if you're a victim yourself. Love, Hannah ❤️

This song is about moving on, 
Left my job of 20 years.

Puppet on a string

Une incantation sonore. Une lutte entre ombre et lumière. Le Gardien des Flammes réveille la force cachée en chacun de nous.

Le gardien des flammes

I originally wrote this as a rock song and felt the urge to try a country rock version.  Featuring Aether Flux Lewis on vocals.  This song got in my feelings pretty hard.  For anyone that has suffered a loss of a loved one.
