Lovely (Treasured)

Cold Little Heart

Cold Little Heart (Tom Misch Remix)

"Impact" is an uptempo Broadway showtune style piece inspired by Stephen Sondheim's "The Gun Song" from his and John Weidman's 1990 musical "Assassins." The piece is derived from my reflections on the impact a gun can have (as presented in Sondheim's song) and also from the classic saying "the pen is mightier than the sword." The song shows that seemingly small things - namely a pen, a computer keyboard, and a human voice - can have more impact that a sword, a poison, or a gun (respectively). It's a playful song with an important message.
I wrote the song over the course of a couple days and recorded the piano track and all three vocal tracks (without hearing the others!!) with the help of my friend Matt Sweda (bless). Though in the recording, a couple of the vocal lines don't line up exactly as I wrote them (due to our lack of time and technology), Matt helped make it work (again, bless)! Enjoy! :)

Always On My Mind

Even When It Hurts
I wrote this choral arrangement based off Psalm 15 for a Psalm-writing competition. In reading the Psalm, the line “the one who keeps their oath even when it hurts” stuck out to me. I reflected upon how rare it is to find people who keep their promises and remain faithful to each other even when it hurts, as human relationships inevitably do. I thought the self-sacrifice and loyalty in this text was beautiful and so tried to emphasize the beauty and pain in the music, without being too musically complicated so that a church choir could find it accessible.

Bend Tha Fend

Vocals & Lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

Cry to me Magnetic Mournful Moon
We are half in fire, half in tombs

Magnitudes of longing since the womb
Speak to me I'm holed up in my room 

Builder starlet and stunning,
confounding me
Build a tower, a fable 
Collapsed abruptly

Restless might, to every fortress I resign
Break me and rake me put me back leave me I'm empty


Stress the sight, a crowd of wolves but let them dine
I won't be your banquet anymore


Cry to me magnetic mournful moon
Speak to me I'm holed up in my room

Magnetic Mournful Moon

Magnetic Mournful Moon (Feat. Joelle Doriani)

she said “girl cuff him”
i said i’ll try 
“fabric of a husband”
 yeah she’s always right

I really wanna fighter 
cause i am inside
i wanna just be tighter with him
it takes time

but oh i know 
i gotta take things slow
I keep on goin round in circles
and all i need
is to be with you please
but i just gotta keep it internal
 
i gave you your own ring tone 
i smile every time
i think we got a thing goin
and maybe you’ll be mine 

you gotta love him 
don’t have to try 
fabric of a father 
cause i’m like a child

i really wanna show him 
how i feel inside
i wanna just be tighter with him it takes time 

but oh i know 
i gotta take things slow
i keep on goin round in circles
and all i need
is to be with you please
but i just gotta keep it internal

 
i gave you your own ring tone 
i smile every time
i think we got a thing goin
and maybe you’ll be mine 

i’m cool with waiting,
if my friends right
she always lookin out for me, we tight
i’m double reading every text i type
if i repeat the same mistakes,
i'd cry

 
i gave you your own ring tone 
i smile every time
i think we got a thing goin
and maybe you’ll be mine
