One of the most complex songs I've ever recorded. I definitely feel better about it than I did about last week's. Enjoy!

She walks in elegant effervescence and
I cannot recognize
The gentle drop of her bare footfalls
And I can’t stand the sight of her
No, I can’t stand beside her

Her ladle dives under my skin
Her knife between my eyes
Under the clock I’ll draw my glock
And I can’t stand the sight of her
No, I can’t stand beside her

I Can't Stand (the Sight Of Her)

Re-upload from last week's challenge. I really enjoyed collaborating with James on this one, and I think it turned out really well considering the limited time we had to make it.

A punk rock ode to the little joys of summer. 

Featuring the illustrious Andrew "The Jerk" Renfro on vocals.

Summer Über Alles (ft. The Jerk)

I have a lot of songs that I've written over the past five years, so I figured I would finally share a few with the world. The ones I'm not too embarrassed about anyway.

I believe this is the best song I've ever written, maybe ever will write. The title is based off a Breakfast at Tiffany's quote, but the rest of the lyrics are very autobiographical.

How lucky to be where
I am not wanted and
All I have is gone

What fortune have I to be
Loved by so many and
Still scorned by most

What right have I to
Give names to my fears and
None to my hopes, and

Thousands and thousands of
Feature-length windows, though
None can save my soul

What Right Have I

The lead single from 3 Something Something's upcoming eponymous album. DJ Crabs and The Jerk lament the dissolution of drawbridges from society.


We build up our walls, we raise our drawbridges
The king took a fall, and he dead now, ya’ll bitches
We in this for us, we don’t play no rap games
Drawbridge awareness, don’t care about fame

When I was just a kid, the year 1205, 
The drawbridges kept us well and alive 
Kept the goodies in, kept the baddies out, 
I’d live there forever if it weren’t for that draught
			
We call him DJ Crabs, you’ll see what I mean
His beats, contagious, like an STD
Just like the sea life, he spreads himself around
Just like Alzheimers, he’s here to confound

Drawbridges that I wish you saw
Comin up like we are, comin down like the law
Just like dem bridges, I am bound by chains
Shackles of oppression, all in the Drawbridge name
			
They call him The Jerk, which can be a misnomer,
Take you on an Odyssey, one worthy of Homer,
Marge, and Lisa, the whole family’s at work,
Now let me introduce you to my friend, The Jerk

Godzilla films show mass destruction,
Suspension bridges fall with bad construction,
But the bridge that Godzilla couldn’t deface
Was the noble drawbridge, just laid him to waste

We build up our walls, we raise our drawbridges
The king took a fall, and he dead now, ya’ll bitches
We in this for us, we don’t play no rap games
Drawbridge awareness, don’t care about fame

And so, now class, what have we learned today?
Suspension bridges are super gay
Raise your hand before you speak in class
I’m callin your parents, they gonna ground your ass

Sorry, DJ Crabs, I don’t know what I was thinking
Don’t worry, The Jerk, it’s just the cup that society’s drinking
They tear down our drawbridges, expect us to float
Meanwhile, the government has got us by the throat

Drawbridge Awareness
Drawbridge Pride
If you like Suspension bridges
You can shrivel up and die


Raise Your Drawbridges

Another old upload. I was never much of a lyricist, but the message is there at least. Definitely not a perfect tune, and I would probably re-do the beginning now, but the end is still pretty catchy (if I do say so myself).

We will be ok
We will be alright
We will take control
Over and over

All these years of late
All these hateful tears
We will take control
Over and over, won't you

Take more care of me
And I will never leave

The softest lies you weave
I would never leave

Take Care

Just a little idea I had kicking around in my head. Thanks to Ramshackle for producing!
