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

SWU Fall 2018, Song 3
------------------------------
Verse 1:
 She was a red-hot number
 Ran outside of the scene
 I was an invisible something
 At the corner of blank and pre-teen

Called me on a Friday
 Did it mean anything?
 Meet me on a Saturday 
I wish I could have seen what she seen
I wish I could of seen what she seen  

Chorus 1: 
Throwing my head underwater
 Living like I was in a dream 
The kid who appeared from nowhere 
Was suddenly somebody’s thing 
Suddenly somebody’s thing 

Verse 2: 
Didn’t go far past the weekend 
And I was never the same 
A glimpse of something from a stranger
And  I felt something change
Yeah! I felt something change

Then everyone broke for the rest of their lives
 Or so the story would seem
 I’d never forget that beautiful girl 
And we’d always have that thing 
(At least) I’d always have that thing

Verse 3:
Years later at camp for a long week-end 
I was part of a big-ole, new scene
 And she was at home with her good friends
 Probably working on her own set of dreams
Working on her own set of dreams

Pre Chorus: 
The car rolled over and over 
So she spread her wings 
An instant angel forever
 And I’d never forget her thing
 I'd never forget our thing!

Chorus 2: 
Thew my head underwater
 Living like I was in a dream
 That kid who came from something 
Forever somebody’s something
Forever somebody’s something

Bridge:
God, please let her live through me
God, please let her live through me
 God, please keep her safe with me

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.
