A song inspired by a man I met who came out of the closet late in life and lost his family for it. It is meant to be from his ex-wife's perspective.  I'm not sure I got the empathy for him that I wanted, but I do like the song.

You Never Had A Heart

Falling Apart

I was reading the first part of Cloud Atlas this morning, in it there is a description of a tribe that had a strict "thou shall not kill" policy, which in colonial times meant their destruction. At the same time people are being awful to each other all around the globe. Hence, this song, I guess.

Seen Enough Had Enough

Trying to be a one man band and singing a love song. Not completly happy with the lyrics and arrangment, but good enough for now.

I Knew I Was Home

Just playing with electronic drums and this came about...

Are You In There

A personal song, with some good bits that is still a work in progress. I like the main riff and intro, i was trying to do a few different parts. My editing skills are not the best, so this is what I have for FAWM for now, I know, it is clunky and filled with mistakes...

Can't Put It Into Words

A song asking what you might do differently if you knew exactly how long until your death. Sounds morbid, but meant to be inspirational.

Your Time

A song about moving on I think. I wrote it in one big chunk a short while ago - one of those "gift from the gods" kind of songs. I haven't ever spent as much time mixing as I did for this one. Hope you like it.

Bury Your Secrets

A quick attempt at recording using Blumlein technique for some TGP people who want to hear my guitar.

Blumlein Attempt 1 Bobby Sue

A Valentine's day song for my wife.  It has been tough as teachers through Covid and this all came out in one big gush.  It is not perfect, I quickly added a bass line and that's about it.
