I am 100% in love with this. Goosebumps and tears every time.

Secret a coin in your traveling shoe
Fasten your half-cloak, better to roam
Shake out your tall boots, make sure you have two
And you'll never have to go home.

Dance, though your mother and father be weeping
Pull on your hood; you've no need of a comb
Walk while the worst of the forest is sleeping
And you'll never have to go home.

The Traveling Song

Released in Oct of 2015, this is an upbeat single track that pokes fun at our tendencies to believe we're always right, and that our way is the best way.  Something to think about there...

Everybody's Wrong But Me

LYRICS:

Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner
Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner

I showed you my heart
Now we’re drifting
Lost in the dark
I don’t know why 
The love got lost 
Got swallowed by a shark

How am I supposed to move on
When this feeling’s so strong
When it all seems so wrong

Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner
Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner

Will you pass me by
On the North East side
After seasons change
When we’re rearranged
Will you drop your mask
So that I can see
What is underneath
A reflection of me

How am I supposed to move on
When this feeling’s so strong
When it all seems so wrong

Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner
Who can it be you, who is this
Who is that future foreigner

Rarer Carols

I saw an angel through a doorway
She told me of her name
And though the syllables were hard to swallow
I spoke it just the same
In a dream, in a dream

I saw a cannon in a courtyard
Sat smoking like a liar
Though it held onto rain water
It’s purpose was for fire
In a war, in a war

Bright stars, fade away
Bright stars, fade away

I lost a lover from a distance
Painfully bloodless
Now we speak as if strangers
And fault ourselves for darkness
In the night, in the night

Bright stars, fade away
Bright stars, fade away

(repeat to end)

Up Too Late

Bright Stars

I am a singer, songwriter, and musician who specializes in combining vocal harmonies, hammered dulcimer, piano, and guitar with electronic sounds and beats. I record in my little home studio, and am still learning how to record, mix, and generally be awesome. Please help me improve by leaving a comment. Thanks so much for dropping by.
