3 am and I are old friends...though it also resembles a hostage situation.

This song is brand new (written a few days ago, as of this comment); when it's well-practiced, I'll upload a more polished version.

Awake Too Long

What do you do when you're bored? Write a song about being bored :).

Great White Whale

Fernweh

Happiness: simple, elusive. Leaving aside rare souls, it's difficult to do, and difficult to write songs about.

This one's for Jessie.

Unburdened

Best Intentions

Won't Look Back

Roberto DeBourg asked about the song "Fernweh" recently, and generously offered to re-arrange and re-master it. He isolated the vocals at the beginning, and then added in a string quartet and French horns, with a few thoughtful chord changes that strengthen this version. I'm grateful for his energy and enthusiasm for the music, and for putting this song into a lovely new light!

I wrote this while thinking about parents and children. I haven't yet truly regretted my move to Seattle in 2008, but I live at a great distance from my parents, and I've always had complicated feelings about not taking them into account when making my decisions about where to live. I wrote this song in 2012 (released the original recording in 2013). It's strange and poignant to have a new version of this song come back to me during this global pandemic, when it's dangerous to visit each other, and especially difficult to live so far apart.
