A fine song, that got past my emotional deflector shields! And speaking from sometime nearer the other end of the trajectory, I can tell you that these feelings need never be absent from a person's life ... we just need to keep listening out for the Sirens, summoning the Angels, and cultivating the Muses ... so live long, and write many such fine songs! ;)

I was asked to write a lullaby for Stephen Colbert as part of a skit for the show.  Unfortunately the bit was cut for time/content.  

Maybe, Sweet One, You Won't Have Nightmares Tonight

This is a cover of a Connan Mockasin song, off his 2013 album 'Caramel'.
I enjoy the simplicity and style in this man's work, which lends all of his compositions a wonderful groove/feel. 
Played by me.

Mastered by James Virtue.

You and Me and the Universe

This is a track that took me a while to complete, drawing on feelings of adoration, loneliness, bitterness, lust, desperation and existential angst. 
All instruments are played by me. Mixed and Mastered by me. The photograph is also one of mine. I hope that the feelings I have expressed in this piece of music can provide some solace, catharsis or sonic relief for any of you. I have put a lot of my soul into this one. I recommend you make it to end, if you can ;)

Lyrics:
I think of you when I’m high
I think of you when I'm low
I think of you when I come
I think of you when I go
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
I see your hair in my smoke
I see your lips in my drink
I see your breath in the clouds
I see your eyes when I blink
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
It’s been a matter of days,
But still i’m sick without your kiss
If I write this down, If I sing
About how much I miss your touch,
I want your love, I need your love
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
Set me free
Harmony
Set me free
Come back to me
