No News, Good News - New York

You're off in the city
Traveling to countries
That my eyes will never witness
I fade into the landscape
Waiting for daybreak
And the news of your return

To your old hometown
The place where we sat out
And stared at the lake while time melted away
We drank in all the bars
The corners we called ours
You kept me sane when things weren't quite okay

I heard that ship
Had sailed west
Well I wish you the best

Tell me all your tales when you have returned

Now I hear a voice whisper
Its clean and gold and crisp
Hers was the only one that could talk me round

I felt joy
I felt sorrow
When you went with the swallows
They returned with the sun at their backs

And they sang me a birdsong
About the distance that they had gone
And the strangeness the world had to see
In fact, I did not mind
The jealous green flame died
This place has enough strange for me

I heard that ship
Had sailed west
Well I wish you the best

Tell me all your tales when you have returned

New York

A happy/sad song.

Lyrics:
Sometimes
We all felt something
That sweet sickening poison
Under our skin

Some times
We all were something
Enveloped by our sins
And our faces so thin

And some days
I felt that in some ways
I was a danger
A dangerous man

But now I
I look back on my life
And do all that
All that I can

I see you
Because I want to

Now then
Do you have a moment
Without the commotion
To stop and just rest?

'Cause I seen
On the silverest of screens
That this ain't a movie
You don't have to act

I see you
Because I want to

I fell
Into the pit of hell
And I came crawling
Dirt on my nails

Now I
I am living a life
Where a large sum of my time
Is spent pretty well 


Some Days

I've always been bad at making music. Writing it, playing it, obsessing over it, that was always easy, but never making it. I've chosen this moniker as a way to give the simplistic recordings I make a proper home, starting with October Again. 

This track was written in the Autumn of 2019, and acts as a sort of quiet impression of the seasonal shift. I hope any who listens can find some enjoyment in it.
