Waiting [FAWM 2015 | 01]

Empty Boat [FAWM 2015 | 02]

On My Grave [FAWM 2015 | 04]

Better Goodbye [FAWM 2015 | 05]

I started this with just the skirmish title (fyi: a "skirmish" is fawm terminology for a group of people all writing a song by the same title in an hour), then I eventually realized that I was writing a song about being left behind when someone that you know becomes "famous." Written and recorded in under an hour.

There’s bound to be trouble
It’s written in your stars
Follows everywhere you go
As you travel near and far

This life I live
Provides not much to give
Though I can offer you this

Chorus
I will wait for you
And I will follow through
With promises we made
When nobody else knew you

There’s bound to be trouble
When you become a star
The choices you make
Determine who you are

And if you come to a place
Where you don’t belong
I can offer you this

Bound to Be Trouble

Geek humor maybe?
Rough demo for now; not happy with the guitar tone or how I slowed down in the second verse. But. I like this song.

Verse
Well the future is great, I have to say
Science and technology excite me immensely
But one thing that should scare everyone
Is the Google Glass and how it sees all

Chorus
Web cam on my head
This is a day we all will dread
Omnipresent and all knowing
We’ll all become slaves soon
If you can tell where this is going
I don’t want Google to see my whole life

Verse
What’s the capital of France?
What color are my underpants?
With Google on eye
I’ll know everything before I die

Chorus

Bridge
Oh I know that in the very near future, Google will reign supreme
But I will not wear something on my face until it shoots laser beams

Chorus

Vision of the Future

Pieced together some random bits of advice that I have received in the past few years. My harmonica playing is lacking.

I am drowning in an ocean with no land in sight
Dive down deep until I see the light
Feel the frigid cold current, carry me home
It’s a beautiful end, a fresh new start

Tomorrow moves faster than we want it to
I will not rest until I please you
It’s all happened before, and will happen again
Listen to me closely sing this refrain

Well I am a broken man
Burning the candle at both ends
My mother told me boy don’t pretend
You cannot carry on like this without gettin’ burned
