Floyd Collins (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

i wrote bassett hound about a certain little crush i've got. if you can guess whom it's on, great, you've got pretty basic critical thinking skills! let's just say there's a reason i spelled the dog breed wrong ;) if any of you want to be a wingman hmu

also it was very fun to write this and include as many dog references as i could. there are a lot of homophones so i spelled them the way they immediately make sense for the lyrics on screen, but apply a little more of those basic critical thinking skills i know you have and you'll find them everywhere

bassett hound (original, acoustic)

a lot of times i write songs to try to create a physical manifestation of my emotions, and i see a long life ahead for that immortalized feeling. when i wrote fancy shmancy free, it was not that; it was simply to write a song just to talk about some random stuff that'd happened that night. i didn't put too much effort into trying to make it eloquent or even good, but people have seemed to like it, and i've come to really like it too. here's my song about wishing i could be fancy shmancy free :)

fancy shmancy free (acoustic, original)

i did a short cover of this song and it did pretty well on my socials, so i thought i'd record you a full length version :) i discovered the wrecks during the open book tour, but never really became obsessed with them until they released their ep, inside:. i listened to that ep on repeat at the beginning of the summer, and this is one of my favs (along with speed!!)

always, everytime (by the wrecks, acoustic)

i was introduced to manchester orchestra in amsterdam (seriously- of course i knew phoebe bridgers' rendition of their song "the gold" before that). skip forward to the fall of 2024, when i was working night shifts at trader joe's. while we restocked shelves after we closed we could listen to music, which is when i stumbled upon bad books, a collaboration between members of manchester orchestra and kevin devine. i listened to II: revisited first, and i love this version of "it never stops" so much, i cannot listen to the original version of this song. my best friend disagrees though, so we are a house divided. whichever version you prefer, you seemed to like my short cover of this one a little while ago, so here's my full rendition :)

it never stops (by bad books, acoustic)

there have been so many renditions of this song going around lately, some great and some less so. i thought i'd submit mine and hopefully, in your book, it falls in the former camp.

i got to take a solo weekend trip to london in march of 2024. i had been to london before, but never alone, and march 2, 2024 might be in the top ten days of my life. i've always known that london is my favorite city in the world, but on that day i was awake for 22 glorious hours to drink coffee, eat vegan donuts, shop, take in the architecture, sit and people watch, see sarah snook in the picture of dorian gray, and see cabaret for the first time. (adam melchor also put me on his guest list for his show with laufey that day, which was really the cherry on top.)

this show rocked me to my core. i was so impressed by the immersive elements, and felt sick to my stomach as i compared it to our modern day. this song has always been my favorite in the show (even as i saw it for the fourth time) because it is so clearly resonant of how the downfall of our societal morality can easily result in apathy, but it can kind of transcend that to be nihilism's theme song. i am not a nihilist in the slightest, but i love emcees that make it very clear that they do, in fact, care very much, but the circumstances they've found themselves in require them to shove that down.

i think a lot about the lyric, "if you kiss me, if we touch, warning's fair, i don't care very much." i am a romantic, and if someone kissed me, i would very much care. but i could imagine a world in which i'd lose the privilege of all-encompassing infatuation because that just can't be at the forefront when lives are on the line. that's schneider and schultz's story anyway. and it's terrifying and foreboding.

forgive me for rambling. i wrote this at 11 pm, can you tell? the eleventh hour- how ironic

i don't care much (from cabaret, acoustic)

in honor of hamilton's tenth anniversary, i had to record a full cover of what seems to be your favorite song i've sung from this musical :) even outside of the context of the show, it is such a beautiful and tender song that i love to sing.

also happy ten years hamilton, not to brag but i was on the hamilton website the second leslie odom jr. announced that he was returning to the show so my dad and i are seeing it together in november (for my third time and his...sixth? it's hard to keep track). it is his favorite show he's ever seen so he's going to freak. and so am i

dear theodosia (from hamilton, acoustic)

ok so i debated with myself a lot on whether i should post this song. i wrote it this week, and normally i like to sit on my songs alone for a while to contemplate what might be the public perception. there are some intense lyrics in here that i hope you'll take with a grain of salt, because as they say, songwriters ought to write what they're scared to say.

i've always been a romantic, and that's influenced my life to differing degrees, but i try not to let it cloud my vision. so often, in an effort not to idolize romance, i try to rid its influence on me entirely. but i've been overwhelmed by life this week, and starting to wonder how it will ever happen for me if i'm always building this wall in the name of maturity. after all, can you really find anything you're not looking for?

that's the reason i almost named this song protection shit lol, but the point of comparison line was the catalyst for this song so i had to lead with composure this time

anyway next week's video will be expletive-free. thanks for letting me make what i feel
