this album is a labor of love through several eventful summer months. the songs were recorded at various points of great emotional intensity throughout the summer. 

through pain, heartbreak, the searing sun, sweaty cigarettes and lonesome pilgrimages, there is always hope and faith and friendship and magic to return to. and of course, love and laughter, coffee and beer, and the wonder of the forest.

 i hope this album finds you well.

i encourage you to listen in order and with headphones for the full experience :)

this is my letter to you, reader, both geeked and reminiscent

GEEKED AND REMINISCENT

lyrics:
sit and drink a coffee with you
i know you gotta go by two
helpin you move
i dont mind too much
you tell me about your dreams
you cannot remember the best part

sittin on your porch
but you dont smoke
your here anyways
you dont want a toke
you ease my mind
when i feel blue
but girl
i dont have to smoke you

im so glad
by your side
run and hide
nevermore
ive shown fear the door
come with me lets go and see

sit and drink a coffee with you

lyrics:
its gotta be somewhere else
this place is such a mess
we'll be fine in a little time
as long as we get some rest

i can see the sun
i can feel the moon
i can change lovers like i
change moods
help me

see thru
x ray
platitude
i need
something real
god help
those who feel
something real
oh god

everybodys on their phones
and everybodys on their phones
lookin down

i would stay the night if
if you will have me
but i must go
i must hit the road

lyrics:
(weather report)
carolina sure is sweet
when you see it on the set
but you bet its full of
broken people gettin by

you can dream of bbq
eat yourself stupid, too
on nostalgia

but this place is poison
it will kill you yet
you have just begun
to live your memories

C A R O L I N A

lyrics:
for a long time
for a long time
for a long long long long long time
i sat and watched

everyday i walk
everyday i see something wrong and wrong and wrong...
can you see the things i see in the streets in the news in the ...?

im so worried i found a place
that is safe, old erase

when will we snap out of this?
find a way thats better and fix
all the things thats obviously wrong
thats why i sing you this song

for a long time
for a long time

there is hope
there is hope
forevermore

hope forever (for a long time)

version 1,000 lol

lyrics:
sunshine, wont ya shade me?
from the rain
that's leaking down
make me so forgetful
but please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile?
i'll give it back
just as long
as i dont have a heart attack

sunshine wont ya shade me?
from the world thats crumbling down
make me so forgetful
please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile
i'll give it back
just as long as i dont have a heart attack
in the cool autumn air

sunshine, wont ya shade me?
from the rain thats leaking down
make me so forgetful
please, just for awhile
could i borrow a smile?
i'll give it back
as long as i dont have a heart attack
in the cool
autumn
air

sunshine wont you shade me?(album version)

lyrics:
i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
spent every waking moment
dreaming about whats next
then came spring
you were far away
i began to learn about the place that i call home

summer
came around
no one was around
you called me
with an urgency

love has funny ways
it doesnt care about you
it comes and goes as it pleases
it leaves an awful brew

ya drink it with your coffee
you take it with your beer
no one can spell it out for you
but you can see it clear

i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
i liked the way you talked about 
the things that you had seen

one time in your car
i almost fell asleep
muttering about something
you asked me what i keep inside

i met you in the fall
i was so enthralled
spent every waking moment
wondering what comes next

I met you in the fall!

true songs, often contemplating sorrowful themes, made for planet earth and whoever feels them
 
folk, hyperpop, all over the place influences in a foggy online, nostalgic and retro kind of way

if you're a worn out, sentimental queer you'll vibe here lol

mostly acoustic guitar and singing with the addition of my production in audacity

i am obsessed with music, it gets better with each passing day!

i hope you can find something you feel and enjoy and pass away some sorrow here, gently, or with reckless abandon

love and light to you
