Verse 1:
Alone
Doesn’t understand 
The way things are
The way they begin

Interested
Imagination
Sidebar everything
The way they began

Chorus 1:
Oh no, oh no
It couldn’t happen to me 

Oh no, oh no
It couldn’t happen to me 

Verse 2: 
Delayed 
Reverb’ed
And chorused 
I am my own man

I said
It once
All I have to say:
I am my own man

Chorus 2:
Oh no, oh no
It couldn’t happen to me 

Oh no no no no
It couldn’t happen to me

Chorus:
Rock  
Never stop
Get it on
Write a book 
I’m gonna’ live it on top
Find the spot 
Never stop

When I’m gone
Feed the dogs 
Give it up
Take it 
Give it away

Verse:
Thinking
Know it won’t stop
I got it roughed-out
Felt-around 
Walked-outside,
Figured it out

They won’t believe it
But I know it won’t stop
No heart of black
In-described 
Mother-of-a-chunk 
I found out

Rock Never Stop_Demo_

Living on borrowed time
Mostly yours-some of mine
Thinking ‘bout starting a revolution 
Gonna get it in-line

Ready, set, go—come on
Docket’s set-oh lord (load)!
Cock back, wham-bam: revolution
Can’t you feel it blowing in? 

Can you feel it in the wind?
Can’t you feel it, my friends!
You’re right where it all began!
Can you feel it in the wind? 

Getting Darker every day
Can’t let that news set you astray 
Tell ‘em right now, by God and country
We’re headed out this a-way 

Maybe you think it’s too soon?
Some you win, and some you lose
That time has passed now—it’s too late
Come on, let’s show ‘em the way! 

Can you feel it in the wind?
Can’t you feel it, my friends!
You’re right where it all began!
Can you feel it in the wind? :

Can You Feel It In The Wind Acoustic Demo

You say it’s cold
How do you know
Were you outside just then

Not what you said
Not what you did
That’s why ask again

I just wanted to know
What you thought
Right then 

I just wish 
Things were good again

Is it too warm
Should I turn it up
Don’t you mean down 

What does it say
How does it work 
Didn’t look since you left town 

I just wanted to know
What you thought
Right then 

I just wish 
Things were good again

I Wish_Demo

V:
Drifting to Old Sand Rd. 
Rolling thru my mind
Dying wells + cedar swells
Nowhere by design

Picking up hearts along the way
Didn’t know I needed to find
Close my eyes an it flies right back
Every time 

C:
Come up on sweet Marie
I wish I had to say
To know you then
If you saw me
In your salad days

Box of yellow pictures 
From here to today
The world still turns 
Things go on
Was supposed to the this way

V2:
Sweetest forever dreams tonight
As you pass along the way
The dog is well, the girl’s just fine
Seems older than I could say

No space  between us
Love found a way
Between the stars the moon and the earth and the sky
In the morning and every day

B:
We’ll get by

C:
Come up on sweet Marie
I wish I had to say
To know you then
If you saw me
In your salad days

Box of yellow pictures 
From here to today
The world still turns 
Things go on
Was supposed to the this way

Hard Worn	

Verse 1:
Another hard one
Maybe sneak it by
As a one-and-done
I thought you were finished
Left it undone
Big time surprises will do

Simple remedy 
Gets you in the End
If you have one
Willing to bend
On such a long night
Hours of hours on end

Pre Chorus 1: 
Some things are hard-worn
You love a surprise
So: you got one
Just open your eyes
To what’s in front of you
The work is all but done

I know you’re tired
It’s gets so crazy
Those neighbors make it look so easy
But I promise you
They’re at their loving end

Chorus 1: 
That’s why it’s got to be
You and me in the end

Verse 2: 
Don’t worry, girlfriend 
Who knows what to think
About their own things
Or how much distinct
Just to make it
World steps up to you

So bring your head round
And listen real close 
There’s no special sound
The void is on you
Let it come on down
It’s what your supposed to do

Pre Chorus 2: 
Some things are hard-worn
You love a surprise
So: you got one
Just open your eyes
To what’s in front of you
The work is all but done

I know you’re tired
It’s gets so crazy
Those neighbors make it look so easy
But I promise you
They’re at their loving end

Chorus 2: 
That’s why it’s got to be
You and me in the end

SWU Winter 2021, song #1 (prompt Colorado Springs)
I tired to capture the most depressing moments of the 80's in a song.

Like album 3 from the Cure, this one was going to get made. Had to get it out.  Been thinking about the verse chords forever.

I'm making a new record, and the idea is to use these verse snippets between sections of the album as bumpers as it's a bit of ear worm. Intentionally oof.

*original title was Euclidian Mustache 
------
Verse 1:
Seeing down sidewalks
Utot’em cash stop
Park-and-grab groceries 

Behind the old high school
C-springs, the summer
Keeping your mind clean

Making no sounds on
They way back up inside
Indelible mindset

Going off empty
Returning the housekey 
Upstairs and waiting

Chorus 1:
Ommm

Verse 2:
Get it to together
Middle-school footstep
Compound your problems

Deflated mindset
Seemed so much better 
Bewitching friend-set

Utot'em Quickstep Demo 1

Austin, TX-based electronica artist.
Minimal, chill, downtempo tech-house with 80's feel. Plus some other stuff.
