North or Noon

Two days after going to the ER I stumbled to a piano and broke my heart against it.

Heart's in Your Bag (Post ER)

Us (Post ER)

After my trip to the ER I was shaky, disoriented, and my voice was weak and lower in pitch. I came back to this song partly because of the appropriateness of the first line: Let me see, are you well enough for this?

This was always a love song. I never imagined I'd be singing it to myself. I changed the last line in the moment from "My Ocean Floor can hold its own" to "should hold its own." As much as this is a song about forgiveness, it's still hard to accept my own weaknesses.

Ocean Floor (Post ER)

I co-wrote this with a classmate in my lyric writing class at Berklee in 2006(?) and CANNOT remember the woman's name for the life of me. I rewrote some lyrics but would love to find her to share credit.

I Have Everything

This is the first full draft of a string trio arrangement of "The Contract," a song I wrote maybe a decade ago.
The score is about 11 pages long (through-arranged, no repeats) and runs a bit under 7 minutes. The violin, cello, and double bass are meant to completely replace the original piano accompaniment. I have no idea if it is actually playable or not (hence it being a first draft) so I'm looking forward to having a rehearsal soon. Anyway, so that's what I've privately obsessed with for the last 9 or so days.
