stronger 'cause of you (hamster-box remix)

Song written to be the theme music for the play 'Street Scene', which I did the sound design for at SCC in 2005. Purposely antiquated; the story took place in 1929, and I was going for the old phonograph effect to keep in concept with the play. The tune was named for the director, 'e.e. moe'. This song helped me win the Kennedy Center's American College Theater Festival 2006 national award for 'Excellence in Sound Design'; fellowship @ the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center ensued.

Song for the Leonids

Shroud of Turin
Written and Performed by Michael Fitch, 2016

A mirror of the gospel
in a cut of linen cloth
bears the image of a preacher
in the cathedral of st. john

his body has long passed through it
gone to kingfishes and worms
i think there's something to this 
that my conscience can't discern

(Shroud)
i forget to dream big
i forget completely

This is not "God's Country"
it's a goddamn war scene
race riots in Missouri
and the streets of NYC

(Shroud)
i forget to dream big
i forget completely.
