lyrics:
i hope you hate this song
add it to the list of things that you find wrong with me
it’s not your fault that it’s so long
we don’t belong together because i don’t see

you the way god made you
and i don’t hate you
but if you hate me, i will understand
i am nothing like you planned

i’m starting to say no
i’m looking out for my best friend that lives inside of me
i’m sorry i don’t know
how i can love you through the conflict because i don’t see

you the way god made you
and i don’t hate you
but if you hate me, i will understand
i am nothing like you planned

i am better off
standing in the rain
washing off the lies
laughing through the pain

you are better off
sitting on a train
on your way back home
knowing you are sane

they are better off
minding not a care
that i am alone
they are unaware

i am better off
standing in the rain
soaking in the lies
chasing after pain and

you the way god made you
and i don’t hate you
but if you hate me, i will understand
i am nothing like you planned

better off (an acoustic original)

thank you for listening to my cover of jackson lundy's new song, "benny dreamgood."  have been enchanted by it since the moment I heard it.  i hope you feel the same :)

lyrics:
benny was awake way before the alarm
thinking of dreams he could barely recall
and wishing rain clouds all were gone.

so long ago, there was a treehouse out back
that little benny built for the girl that he liked
they tried to sleep there every night.

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

weeks turned to months, ben is so in love
months turned to years, treehouse ain’t big enough no more
so benny built a real house from ground up.

life was so good, too good to be true
benny had it all, with a kid coming soon
should he paint the ceiling pink or blue?

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

well the good things in life can never last
baby ain’t coming no more, doctor said last night
never felt a window quite this cold.

tempers running short, fighting all the time
benny’s out the window, high as a kite
he better really sleep good tonight.

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

angels singing now, now now now
benny dreamgood
we know you tried the best you could.

lyrics:
"write us a song," they said,
"tell us the truth, you've got nothing to hide."
well tell them the truth i did
and exposed what I had locked inside
i laid it out across the floor and cried

and so it went down like the poet described
and they reached for their children and covered their eyes
this was not a song for angry men
what i wrote for them
was a requiem

"go on and run," she sighed
i wish you could see all the things i have seen
well here on the other side
it feels the same as when i was nineteen
i should have read up on my Augustine

i ran for the corner the poet described
and i stood in the sun and i saw myself die
i was so afraid of angry men
what i wrote for them
was a requiem

this is something to remember me by
this is something to remember me by
this is something to remember me by
this is something to remember me by
remember me
remember me

requiem by ben abraham (a demo/cover)

hey!  this is my cover of "i dreamed a dance" from the musical, "next to normal."  i hope you like it and that it brings you rest :)

lately, i've had a few of my favorite songs from adam melchor's lullaby hotline on repeat.  most of them are simple acoustic recordings of both his original music and his favorite songs.  i normally try to put a lot of effort into my videos, but after a video as involved as "2:45" was last week, i decided to take an approach similar to that of adam melchor's- one that's more laid back and easy to listen to.

lyrics:
i saw you light the ballroom
with your sparkling eyes of blue
graceful as an angel's wing
i dreamed a dance with you

you whispered slyly, softly
you told me you would be true
we spun around a thousand stars
i dreamed a dance with you

i know the night is dying, dear
i know the day will dawn
the dancers may disappear
still the dance goes on and on

i'll wake alone tomorrow
the dream of our dance is through
but now until forever, love
i'll live to dance with you

i'll dream my love
i'll live my love
and i'll die to dance with

i dreamed a dance (an acoustic cover)

i wrote "bug bites" a couple of weeks ago about this season of life constantly feeling not quite right, and not knowing when it will get better.  i don't hope you can relate, but if you can, i hope it brings you peace.

lyrics:
there's pollen in the air
while springtime summer's seizing
and it's been everywhere
it's left my family sneezing
my vision's cloudy
the season's sun is changing things

i've got bug bites
i don't know when they'll go away
and i get tongue tied
when i see anyone my age
and i'll google if that's normal
i won't change a thing but in bed i'll lie awake

and my friends say
that i think intrusively
but we're on facetime
and i just think they're used to me
'cause i've been living with myself
and now my dog is even suffering bad dreams

I'm feeling left behind
by things I thought I wanted
I don't know If there's time
to find what my peers have gotten
but what should I want for?
success, or love, or just a friend?

i've got bug bites
i don't know when they'll go away
and i get tongue tied
when i see anyone my age
and i'll google if that's normal
i won't change a thing but in bed i'll lie awake

and my friends say
that i think intrusively
but we're on facetime
and i just think they're used to me
'cause i've been living with myself
and now my dog is even suffering bad dreams

oh, i would kill
to rest my heart where it belongs
my fingers splitting to the bone
for what i don't know if i'll ever own

but aren't we all?
convinced ourselves that we're worth more
than restaurants and grocery stores
they trapped us there, hoping for more

i've got bug bites
i don't know when they'll go away
and i get tongue tied
when i see anyone my age
and i'll google if that's normal
i won't change a thing but in bed i'll lie awake

and my friends say
that i think intrusively
but we're on facetime
and i just think they're used to me
'cause i've been living with myself
and now my dog is even suffering bad dreams

bug bites (an acoustic original)

i wrote "grocery line" like four days ago.  normally i sit on my songs for a really long time before i share them, but some of the music that i've been writing lately has just been too tender not to put out into the world.  since it's existed for less than a week, i only have an acoustic version comprehended.  i hope you enjoy it :)

lyrics:
i call anxiety meds drugs
‘cause i would never touch a pill
i cut out soda for my skin
and god forbid i tasted milk

and we can’t all be teenage dirtbags
i’ve always kept my slate pristine
i’ve tried to be a perfect grownup
that’s what i wanted to believe

and every day i need a pick me up
a cold brew was just fine
when i was sixteen and my life did not revolve around 
the time i feel i’m missing in adulthood
now it’s tea instead of coffee
i’ll live longer now, i guess that i am grateful
for the extra time spent in the grocery line

i get off work at half past ten
there’s not a doubt that i’ll go home
the girls i work with whisper plans
they don’t invite me ‘cause they know i wouldn’t go

i’ve never been a teenage dirtbag
i’ve always lived ten years ahead
i wanted to control the outcome
but now i’m just not eating bread

and every day i need a pick me up
a cold brew was just fine
when i was sixteen and my life did not revolve around 
the time i feel i’m missing in adulthood
now it’s tea instead of coffee
i’ll live longer now, i guess that i am grateful
for the extra time spent in the grocery line

oh, mia, are you proud of me?
i’m everything you thought you’d be
if former me wants my advice
i’d break the rules just once or twice

oh, mia, won’t you be content
you have the life that you were meant
i know you’re waiting, so inspired
but slow it down, i’m getting tired

and every day i need a pick me up
a cold brew was just fine
when i was sixteen and my life did not revolve around 
the time i feel i’m missing in adulthood
now it’s tea instead of coffee
i’ll live longer now, i guess that i am grateful
for the extra time spent in the grocery line

grocery line (an acoustic original)

been splitting the music i've listened to lately between crushingly sad female musicians (phoebe bridgers, leith ross, dodie) and indifferent alt-rock bands.  hence, here's some coldplay.  hope you love it.

lyrics:
i used to rule the world
seas would rise when i gave the word
now in the morning i sleep alone
sweep the streets i used to own

i used to roll the dice
feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
listen as the crowd would sing,
"now the old king is dead, long live the king"
one minute i held the key
next, the walls were closed on me
and i discovered that my castles stand
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

i hear jerusalem bells a-ringin'
roman cavalry choirs are singin'
be my mirror, my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can't explain
once you go, there was never
never an honest word
that was when i ruled the world.

it was the wicked and wild wind
blew down the doors to let me in
shattered windows and the sound of drums
people couldn't believe what i'd become
and revolutionaries wait
for my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lonely string
oh, who would ever want to be king?

i hear jerusalem bells a-ringin'
roman cavalry choirs are singin'
be my mirror, my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can't explain
i know saint peter won't call my name
never an honest word
that was when i ruled the world.

i hear jerusalem bells a-ringin'
roman cavalry choirs are singin'
be my mirror, my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i can't explain
i know saint peter won't call my name
never an honest word
that was when i ruled the world.

viva la vida (an acoustic cover)

it's been a while since i posted a full-length cover, and on the day i decided to record one, i felt drawn to one of my favorite songs of all time. i have this playlist with maybe twenty songs on it of the most meaningful and beautiful songs to me, and this one is on it. 

i started listening to phoebe bridgers in 2021 in honor of my sister, who was dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety and had to take a step back from technology. it made me appreciate having free access to music, so i listened to some of her favorite artists, and phoebe stuck because, surprise surprise, i was also depressed at the time. savior complex didn't make a lot of sense to me lyrically at first, but as i've sat with it for four years, it's made more and more sense. it is also just heartbreakingly beautiful, which is my favorite genre of music :)

i hadn't posted a full cover of this song yet because i wasn't sure about the content of its lyrics. sorry if it's a little out there lol
