So as I sat floundering for an idea for this week's song my friend/ex-friend sent a text.  We had a falling out because he became a huge believer in the alt-right q anon movement.  He went from being a close friend/college roommate to a big trump supporter and believer in lizard people and clinton eating kids type stuff. 
Occasionally he texts me to inform me that I am a blind sheep blah blah blah, and I usually put him in his place.  I really did it well last week.  He responded with the song River of Deceit by Mad Season.  So I used that song to influence my style for the song, and I used his craziness as a jumping point into a pretty rad song.  Not heavy hitting like I usually am, this one just focuses on how his attitude and beliefs affect everyone.  I hope you enjoy!  Lyrics are on the you tube video.

btw:  I kind of rushed through this because I didn't find my muse until Monday.  Oh well.  I can always come back to it.

Mr. I'm Right

Tried to write a metal song vs. wtvr I did before.  Because of the 'Magic' theme I chose prayer...  Much like Pluto, religion thrives on utilizing what we think we know to prove that something is much larger than it seems.  In reality, all the psalms and proverbs are nothing but a tiny little ice ball in the grand scheme of things.

Lyrics are on the you tube version if you're curious.

Pluto's Gambit

Made this one pretty quickly.  It started as just the chorus, and I tried to write some verses for it.  I only got one down, and so just repeated it due to lack of time.  I enjoy the bass track, it turned out pretty fun it spots.  I like the new drum samples I used this time.  This song came from a close friend being brutally honest about what he thought about my songs, saying that I was embarrassing myself by putting out sub par music saying that my songs aren't "facebook worthy" wtvr that means.  I work hard on em, and am quite proud of both the accomplishment of the song itself, and the potential which the songs promise.  I hope you can enjoy them for what they are, and any feedback you can give me I will utilize to make the next song better!

Tit For Tat

r/songaweek week 21.  Had to get something finished this week!    I've been in another city in a hotel for this one.  Same for the next one...   Wish I had more time for this...

Off The Leash

Written on the road while in Kansas City.  I messed around with this one to make it sound (hopefully) like an old time sports announcer the first time and an evangelical preacher for the second...  Didn't really mess with volumes any more than to make it sound good on my earbuds...  I really like the chorus, Who dat? you dat. All dat. No Dat :(  And the line about 2nd place in a competition being me was cool too.

2nd Place

This was going to be on theme regarding the drought of any positive happenstances regarding the q anon cult but ended up just being about what the moving of goalposts does to your calendar.  I wanted to capture the 'rawness' yet utilize my mixing skills a bit.  Of course I ran out of time, so...  here it is!
Painting is Say Goodbye, 2014 Acrylic on Canvas made for my kid's room oh so long ago.  It's funny how beautiful the end of the world looked like for the dinosaurs...
