Well first things first the vocals could use some work! I find when I'm singing this I just get going and start cracking everywhere because I'm just scribbling on the finger-board in a flurry of spontaneity and I don't really focus on the singing.  

Anyways, I wrote this one in Ireland around March or so and it's never really the same twice.  It's incredibly all over the place but I'd really like to take this into the studio one day, allowing me to focus on the vocals and guitar stuff individually. I really have a ton of fun playing this song and I hope yall enjoy listening to it.


Like Bright Lights

I wrote this song while staying in Derry, Ireland, for my missionary training.  During our free time I played a lot of music and thought wistfully about life and adventure, basically all that emotional stuff I think too much about, and this came out.

Derry (For Forever)

So now that I have a Mac I started having fun with Garageband and this is the result.  Like everything I do I was impatient with this track, and I probably should have taken a longer time mixing it, but whatever.  I had a lot of fun making it.

Lay Me Down

Bones

Came up with this song over a year ago and I've been trying forever to find the time to get it recorded (a thousand thanks to my friend Angie for making this happen).  This is a rough demo with a lead track I improv'd over it.    I was going for an August Rush kinda feel with the tapping and all that.  It's called Swell because the feel of this song has always reminded me of something vast and moving, like the ocean.  Swell of emotion I suppose.

The recording was pretty rushed (vocals and rhythm track at the same time), but I'm still pretty happy with the result! I hope you like it! Thanks for listening!

Swell (Demo Track)

This is a really old Matt Nathanson song off his first album.  I sang this song a lot in Ireland as a meditation song on retreats for older teenage kids.  I've changed the lyrics a bit, as Nathanson probably didn't intend it to be a Christian song, but when I sing/listen to it, I can't hear anything else.

My little brother Daniel on the Viola.  He's a beast at everything.
