A cover of The Harmeleighs' 'I Keep Ticking On' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on April 16th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I woke up in an alley by my work
Laying with my sins, my hair in the dirt
I met a guy named Jack, he was my friend
But Jim took me down in the end
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I'm tied up with a job I really hate
Keep a smile, hold your black tray straight
Get fired for dropping a glass of wine
Screw 'em all, I'm running out of time
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I'm dancing with the devil by my grave
Telling him decisions that I've made
I feel my heart beat deep within my chest
I'm back into the world I almost left
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on
I keep ticking on

I Keep Ticking On (The Harmeleighs cover)

A cover of Warren Zevon's 'Keep Me In Your Heart' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on April 26th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the mornin' and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leavin' nightly called "When All is Said and Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sometimes when you're doin' simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
Hold me in your thoughts
Take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes
Keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north up to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turnin' but they're runnin' out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while

Keep Me In Your Heart (Warren Zevon cover)

A cover of Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit's 'If We Were Vampires' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on May 13th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth

It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind

It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

All my bags are packed
Ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
And I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Recorded on June 1st, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

For a while there, it was rough
But lately, I′ve been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers
I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She′ll come and stay the night
And I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me
He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feelin' I wanna get used to
But there′s no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you

Oh, I hope I don′t lose you

Mm
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I′ve got
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I′ve got
hook
Oh
Ooh
Please don't take

I found my mind, I′m feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I′m findin′ my faith
If everything's good and it′s great
Why do I sit and wait 'til it′s gone?

Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I′ve got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I′m up at night thinkin′
I just might lose it all

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I′ve got

Oh
Ooh
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God

Beautiful Things (Benson Boone cover)

A cover of Billy Joel's 'Vienna' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 11th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Tell me why are you still so afraid? Mm
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do
And only so many hours in a day, hey

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself, that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right
You're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

A cover of R.E.M.'s 'Its The End of The World As We Know It' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 16th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

That′s great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs
Feed it off an aux, speak, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down, height
pre-chorus
Wire in a fire, representing seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site

Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low playing, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food
But it′ll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Dummy with the rapture and the revered in the right, right

You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It′s the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

Six o′clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood-letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, oh-oh, this means
No fear, cavalier renegade steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
pre-chorus
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
And I decline

It′s the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine
(I feel fine)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, vermouth
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck
Right? Right

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It′s the end of the world as we know it
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

A cover of Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 20th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
For a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching
For a heart of gold
You keep me searching
And I'm growing old
Keep me searching
For a heart of gold
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold

Heart of Gold (Neil Young cover)

A cover of Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are A Changin' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 24th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

The Times They Are A Changin' (Bob Dylan cover)

A cover of Family and Friends' 'Amadeus' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on July 1st, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Time told me, "You can't know pleasure without pain,
Love without heartbreak,
Perspective for reflection's sake"
When we were young, forever seemed the longest time
To our naive tongues, and the trust in our hope-filled eyes
For all my days
For all of my days
Now that I got your love, I won't let it go to waste
Time once told me we're scared the most
Of those things we can't control or know
Or understand
A folly of our own
That we dwell on our mistakes
The chances we're too afraid to take, they take their toll
Indolence won't save your soul
Indifference your choice, you know
So marry me in your mother's maiden white
And your father's eyes as blue as the southern skies
And when I die (when I die)
When I'm dead and gone (life goes on)
Return to the dust and dirt where I belong
I pray my love will linger on
I pray my love will linger on
For all my days
For all of my days
Now that I've got your love, I won't let it go to waste
For all my days
For all of my days
I pray my love won't go to waste
Come time I meet my resting place
In hearts like these, oh, in love like this
The stars aligned in the sky insist
Love of mine, oh, stay the night
As long as the loving is left in your eyes
As for the love in your heart (let it out, let it out)
As for the love in your heart (let me in)
As for the love in your heart (let it out, let it out)
As for the love in your heart (let me in)
As for the love in your heart (let it out, let it out)
As for the love in your heart (let me in)

Recorded on July 17th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I’m older see it face to face
And now I’m older gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and sun shone still
Now I’m darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I’d see when day was done
Now I’m weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

Place To Be (Nick Drake cover)

A cover of The National's 'Pink Rabbits' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on July 20th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I couldn't find quiet, I went out in the rain
I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then, I don't understand now
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street 'cause you were tryin' not to crack up
It wasn't like a rain, it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
Well, I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast, it's frightening
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
I was staring down the street 'cause I was trying not to crack
I was solid gold, I was in the fight
I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
I couldn't see you coming so far
I just turn around and there you are
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
I was just getting used to living life without you around
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
You always said I held you way too high off the ground
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street cause you were trying not to crack up
And Bona Drag was still on
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all

Recorded on July 23rd, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Sally my darling
I wish I could wed you
She smiled and replied
"Then you'd say I misled you"
If young girls could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young men would go beating the bushes?
If all the young girls were hares on a mountain
How many young men would take guns and go hunting?
Oh Sally oh Sally
It's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied
"You don't know what you're missing"
If all the young men were ducks on the water
How many young girls would undress and dive after?
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting?
If all the young men were hares on the mountain...

Based on a traditional English song.

Recorded on July 26th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Ancient holy wars
Dead religions, holocausts
New regimes, old ideas
That's now myth, that's now real
Original sin, genetic fate
Revolutions, spinning plates
It's important to stay informed
The commentary to comment on

Oh, and no one every really knows you and life is brief
So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this black hole and me?

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Age-old gender roles
Infotainment, capital
Golden boughs and mercury
Bohemian nightmare, dust-bowl chic
This documentary's lost on me
Satirical news, free energy
Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex
Independence, happiness

Oh, and no one ever knows the real you and life is brief
So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this atom bomb and me?

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Colosseum families
The golden era of TV
Eunuch sluts, consumer slaves
A rose by any other name
Carbon footprint, incest streams
Fuck the mother in the green
Planet cancer, sweet revenge
Isolation, online friends

Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty
What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve?
Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity
But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Cant Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley cover)

A cover of The Lumineers' 'Cleopatra' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on July 28th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah

And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It's a bed and a bathroom
And a place for the end

I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game"
I'm in his favorite sundress
Watchin' me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You the bestest"
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play your video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
Singin' in the old bars
Swingin' with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark
Playin' pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin' video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore

I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"

I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Don't Think Twice It's Alright (Bob Dylan cover)

A cover of S.G. Goodman's 'Snapping Turtle'.
Recorded on 8/8/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

When you're a farm kid in a small town
You drive before the legal age
And I won't forget that day
When I drove up on some low-down kids
They were all huddled around a poor snapping turtle
Taking turns with a stick
They were beating the hell out of it
So I asked if I could take a lick

When I raised my hand, I brought down the wrath of God himself
Beat those kids till they were crying out for help
I couldn't help myself
Then threw the turtle in the truck
Ooh, small town is whеre my mind gets stuck

Leann, thoughts go back again to Lеanna
Eighteen became a mother
Leann, thoughts go back again to Leanna
Already raised her little brother

I recall a train ride through the countryside
In the south of France
Young, poor, and weighing my circumstance
And where I couldn't play God

Leann once spent a summer in Paris - Paris, Tennessee
The only Paris Leann would ever meet
We talked about it all on a bleacher seat
When we were back in county school

Ooh, ooh

I grew up hard on bottom land
Where only crops should grow
Watched people reap what the demons sowed
And I take it with me everywhere

And I've been told I can come off hard
Hard as the world I've known
Walking around with my spirit broke
Surprised to see love every now and then

Told to pray for forgiveness, oh, and to pray for grace
Not after seeing Leanna's face
A life beat down like that snapping turtle day
God could have thought up a better way
To teach me just how small I am
To teach me the other side of luck

Ooh, small town is where my mind gets stuck
Ooh, small town is where my mind gets stuck
Ooh, small town is where my mind gets stuck
Ooh, ooh, small town is where my mind gets stuck
Ooh, ooh, small town is where my mind gets stuck

Recorded on 8/11/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I've been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying a noose
In the back of my mind

If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together
It's a strange invitation

When I wake up
Someone will sweep up my lazy bones
And we will
Rise in the cool of the evening

I remember the way that you smiled
When the gravity shackles were wild
And something is vacant
When I think it's all beginning

I've been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying a noose
In the back of my mind

If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together
It's a strange invitation

Jack-Ass (Beck cover)

A cover of The Swell Season's 'Great Weight'.
Recorded on 8/17/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

"This song is about throwing off the weight and burdens of unnecessary struggle. It’s a take stock moment. A kind of report from the center of a clearing storm. It’s violent, but one knows it’s gonna leave one at a new beginning. Any way the wind blows. I shall roam. Every direction is suddenly available." – Glen Hansard

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone
Great waves of wonder
Are coming on
The clouds are parted
The sky is clear
The sun is grinning
From ear to ear
No rolling thunder
No gathering storms
We've been sitting in the dark for too long

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Great tongues have spoken
Hard lessons learned
The spell is broken
The tables have turned
Nobody's falling
Through the cracks
Nobody's breathing
All down my back
No fiery furnace
No tolling bells
No more wandering around the nine circles of hell

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows now
I will roam

New moons are rising
Great towers fell
We're drawing water
Up from the well
The fields are blooming
The seeds are sown
The gods, alighting
Back on their thrones
And in their absence
Didn't we do well?
They decided they would leave us fend for ourselves

Great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

The storms are broken
The coast is clear
The sands have shifted
Nobody's near
You had your chance, but
Your chance is blown
Tyrants go tumbling
It's just how it goes
Their mighty empire
Gone up in smoke
Well, fuck them if they can't take a joke

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows now
Any way my love goes
Every way the wind blows
Any road I wanna go down
I will roam
I will roam
Over land, over sea, over foam

Go circle the wagons
Tell me, who can we trust?
We've been out on the margins
We've been left in the dust
We waited in silence
We saw what we saw
It's holy murder
In the name of the law
We ruminated
We watched them divide
Now every time I raise my head, I'm made to take a side

A great weight has lifted
Great weight is gone
Great weight is gone
Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone
Great weight is gone, gone, gone, gone

Recorded on 8/18/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I inject pure kryptonite into my brain
It improves my kung-fu and it eases the pain during
Acceleration when the pedal hits the floor
This thing burns nitroglycerin and powdered C4

And I will always love you

I drive a modified T-series Lola
It's kind of heavy but I like the feel
When I say Vietnam, it sounds just like Coca-Cola
I believe most anything, as long as it's not real

And I will always love you

I battle aliens from outer space
They got one eye right in the middle of their face
I grab my laser gun, I know my place
Somebody has to save the human race

And I will always love you

It seems hopeless but wouldn't you know?
They got a weakness and they let it show
They can't jump and they're a little bit slow
When I say world war two, I mean the video

And I
Help me, Elvis
I
Help me, Elvis
I
Come on now, Elvis
I can't help falling in love with you

Clean Elvis (Dan Reeder cover)

My cover of the traditional Irish/Scottish farewell song 'The Parting Glass'.
Recorded on 8/21/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
Oh and all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me

And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

So if I had enough money to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled

So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us
And our neighbors will all be a bit too much
And you'll live out in the desert with a man you never loved

Is this it?
What you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too

Say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But will love you all the same, because you're beautiful

Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said
Do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to

We were born splaying in the wreckage
Buried down on birds with stones
Bore my weight upon your shoulders
Water as warm as morning suns

I don't think quite like I used to
I got a bed to call my own
I see stars and painted lies
Broken glass upon your road

Now I'm driving home too soon
Say you love me like you used to

And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking, fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive

But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too

Oh, and say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But we'll love you all the same, because you're beautiful
Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you

Like you said do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
Say you love me like you used to

And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok

You're faking
Fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive

I want to share your mouthful
I want to do all the things your lungs do so well
I'm gonna bed into you like a cat beds into a bean bag
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

You're the first and last of your kind
(Pull me like an animal out of a hole)
I want to be every lever you pull
And all showers that shower you
Gonna paw, paw at you
Like a cat paws at my woolen jumper
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Be your Minpin
And Borrower of handsome trivia

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Lou, Lou, let the cover girls sing

Do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do

All hand claps, you will clap
(Let me be the wallpaper that papers up your room)
I want to be every button you press
And all the baths that surround you

Yes, I'm gonna roll around you
Like a cat rolls around saw dusted patios (ooh)
I'm gonna kiss you
Like the sun browns you 

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Devour me 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 

If you really think that you can stomach me 

I want every other freckle 
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle 
Every other freckle, I want every other freckle 
I want every other freckle
Every other freckle, freckle

Recorded on 9/13/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

It brings out the nervousness in me
This talk of the future
And all of it moving at light speed
Too much to devour

Well, pray that we make it in one piece
But who are we fooling?
A fire that keeps a nation warm
Or it's undoing?

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

And we are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger

And arrows that fly across the sea
Eyeing the hour
A magic that we don't dare repeat
The trick of unraveling

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

And driverless cars on market street
Around every corner
But what is to stop us before
We turn on each other

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

We are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger

We are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
Closer than ever

We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger
We are closer tonight
Closer to Heaven
