Maybe Twice Is Enough (feat. Jenni Grossmann)

Songs from a destination

Cloudy Skies

Foggy, through the lights
Such a fuzzy, hazy place
Oh we're all just cursed and lost, and living a lie, and when it comes to you, I can’t even
Confusion, everywhere
Don’t think about it, don't you stare
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.
Waiting, in the line
This is taking, up my time
We all look over there, and see that Mandalay, and look up in the air, and see the sky looks cloudy and
Walking, don’t know where
Can’t think about it, I just don’t care
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.

Laughing At You

Get High

An old song I wrote and recorded a couple of years ago, in an attempt to write a Taylor Swift-esque song following pretty much the same chords as "Blank Space". Listening back, I cringe hard at the spoken bits and slightly over the top pop vibe, buuuuut needed a "new" (unreleased) song to add to our monthly The MusiCollective (TMC) playlist, and didn't manage to write something else in time, so here it is.

I Wish

I Wish (demo)

The OddBox band play Old School Blues at WooFest. Features Eric on 3 string cigar box guitar, Ash on electric guitar, kerry on Bass, Doug on Cajon, Jenny on Vocals and Jenni on Vocals and Violin

Trouble In Mind

Dominoes

Demo 6 of songs I wrote in my songwriting group over the last year. The prompt for this one was "counting". Enjoy!

Counting Hearts

I was counting pictures on the wall
It made me feel like nothing at all
Like just one of a million 

I was thinking of all the things I shared
Feeling like nobody cared
I’m just one of a billion 

Where do I go from here
I’ve been counting hearts
But does anybody hear mine

The walls feel so paper thin
I’ve been screaming out
But can anybody get in 

I remember what it felt like 
when a song kept me up at night
Like it was one in a million

And every strum seemed to hold
Stories yet to be told
They all felt like one in a billion 

Where do I go from here
I’ve been counting hearts
But does anybody hear mine

The walls feel so paper thin
I’ve been screaming out
But can anybody get in

So I’ll remember all the magic
Knowing that I have it
Whenever I want to 

So that’s where I’ll go from here			
Knowing that numbers will disappear  
But I won’t

Counting Hearts (demo)

I've long heard tales 
Over hill and yonder dale
O the ragged bands 
When the wild song wails

Such freedom calls me from my hearth
Regret let go my humble heart
And see me to the places 
These wild songs are

So I may sing
That I may dance
And leave behind these old regrets
With only one that I have left

It yet remains and must be spoken 
I should have done this long ago

Regret Let Go My Humble Heart (feat. Prophet of End Times)

Played on a 3 string cigar box guitar with May Widera on vocals

Close Your Eyes

Cocaine Blues

LYRICS
Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind.

20 damn years I’ve been
playing here,

To the sound of my band and the
Smell of beer.

Don’t cower to the crowd
They smell fear

Growing up - my role models,
Now the crowd
Both throw bottles.

It’s so clear now
I need a clear out,

Naomi’s saying I’m acting kinda weird now.

Open tabs for a flat,
I keep an ear out.

I keep my fears in,
She lets her tears out.

Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind.

I wanna be more
Than digits on a keyboard

Call me Skinner,
Cos I want to see more
Of the world,

Mood up and down
Like a see-saw,

Face like a smacked ass:
Eeyore.

We’d be together forever,
Yeah that’s what she thought.

She sees a peasant, a scumbag,
I’ve got no retort.

I turn to leave and
take the car keys she bought,

I’m off to be more
Tyres screech, she’s floored.

Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Naomi
