Here is a short original piano piece that contains only three parts.

Three-part Piano

This song was written from the perspective of a father to his child. The first verse describes the bond that this relationship offers, while the second verse illustrates the love shared between the two.  In the chorus, the father expresses how kids grow up too quickly.
Please excuse the mistakes in the song.  I'm using new recording equipment and software, and I'm still trying to figure it out.  But, hey, it's just a hobby.

Here are the lyrics:

"(Verse 1)
See the sea
so calm and free
just like you and me

The world keeps spinning
and the sun keeps grinning
just like you and me

So, why do we worry?
We've got all we need
that's you and me

(Chorus)
Life is so great
So why are you trying to go grey?

Things are never done
So why are you always on the run?

If the end is near, just be glad it's not here

(Verse 2)
All of my time
and all of my mind
that's what I give to you

Complete happiness
with a bit of a mess
that's what you give to me

Love unbound
only here is found
that's what we both share

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Oh! You will always be
right where you need to be
Because you are in my heart
and that will never part

Some things will change
but my love will remain

(Chorus)"

Just Like You And Me

An arrangement of Away in a Manger for solo piano.

Away in a Manger (For Piano)

It's been a while, but here is a new song I wrote recently. It's from the perspective of a deceased individual speaking to a grieving friend or family member. 
I've given up on being a perfectionist about this stuff, so don't judge too harshly on the quality of the recording.

I hope you enjoy! 

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1
I've got a bird's-eye view of you, yes I do
You've got to admit, finally, you're looking up to me
‘Cause I know I wasn’t the man you wanted me to be
You better believe me that hindsight is 20/20
But listen well, if you can’t tell, my soul has been set free
I know you’re sad, but don’t you dare think about joining me

Chorus
My body lies, but I still survive
My body lies, but still I’m alive

Verse 2
If we could meet and have a chat, what would you have to say?
Would you list all the mistakes I had made?
History is just faded memory of those who survived
Will you have your own tale, or will mine be revived?
You take me with you everywhere, every day
So when we meet and have a chat, what will you say?

Chorus
My body lies, but I still survive
My body lies, but still I’m alive

Bridge
Life sometimes blows, but you’re still here
Life sometimes goes, but you’re still here
And you wonder why you’re still here
It’s not just to die, ‘cause you’re still here

So, what do we do?
We live our lives,
And we love, we love, we love
We love, we love, we love
We love, we love, we love
We love, we love, we love

Refrain
This is the life we are given,
So it is the life we are livin’

Bird's-Eye View

This is a low quality recording of me playing and singing (Yes, singing!) a song I wrote a few years ago. I never actually came up with any rhythm for the piano part, so I just play the chords on the beat for the most part. This recording was improvised, so I apologize for the poor quality.
The lyrics:
"I say that I'll stay,
but I know that I won't.

I say that I pray,
but I know that I don't.

I believe in you and me;
No, that's a lie. I don't even try.

I've broken, and I've broken in
so many hearts, that I've fallen apart.

(Chorus)
I've found the cure
for the broken heart.
Don't you see?
The cure is me.
Stay away and you'll be okay.

They say if you come my way
you won't be gone long, so come on.

I care about your hair,
but not your name, because it's all the same.

I want what I want,
not what you need, so don't plead.

I'll sustain all your pain.
Just give me a try, or I'll say 'Goodbye.'

(Chorus)"

Cure For The Broken Heart

Here is another original song with me doing the vocals. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
"I bought a brand new pair of shoes,
took them straight out of the box.
The shoes ran away, because they didn't match my socks.

(Chorus)
Now what's wrong;
Now what's wrong;
Oh; with the real world today?

I bought a nice watch,
but it runs a little bit too fast.
Sometimes I just sit down, and watch as the time slips past.

(Chorus)

I built a big, big house,
higher than the eyes could see.
It came a'tumblin' down, but that's okay, the house was empty.

(Chorus)"

Real World

This is a short piece I wrote for marimba for a theory class.

Marimba Duet

I haven't posted anything in a little while, so I figured I'd write a quick, little piano piece.

Piano

Heartbeat Pete

A short song I wrote when I was sixteen or seventeen that I thought I would come back to. The text has some darker content -- hey, I was a teenager -- based on how there is always something going through a persons mind. Not the best singing (or playing) quality, but oh well.

Lyrics:
"There's always something
even when there's nothing

Always got to worry
to put me in a hurry

Through my life I just find
that which keeps me from a peace of mind

All I ever do is think
and that just puts me on the brink

of fantasy and reality
result of a paranoid society

I can't describe the feeling
just like my skin is pealing

And there's always a layer underneath
from which my worries can't release

Something new, something quick, something slow, something thick,
but always, always something."
