I've been away for a too long, and my sincerest apologies for that... This is a little song that grew out of my own creative self-consciousness. I'm learning to push through that. :)

Poems In My Pocket

Took Estelle's "American Boy" and super-soaked it with strings. Voila, a rough recomposition, backed entirely by violins. Please excuse my singing and the poor recording quality; This is a rough draft finished in a short amount of time.
Enjoy, Earthlings!

Recomposition of "Your Song" by Elton John for violins and voice. I had a lot of fun making this one! This one's for you, Shka! ;)

Your.Song

A work-in-progress I wrote about a year ago and then forgot about... I think I'll keep at this one! Appropriately winter-themed.

Lyrics:

Snowflakes fall
Crystalline, so pristine
Every single line, every vertex unique

Catching them
So much fun on my tongue
Icy prisms melt when our vertices meet

Ephemeral, the silver snow just vanishes
There's not a word, not one I've heard
For moments like this

Mother calls
"Come inside!", I comply
Leaving all the ice geometrics behind

Watching through
Frosted-planed windowpanes
I still see the tangents and lines from inside

Ephemeral, the silver snow just vanishes
There's not a word, not one I've heard
For moments like this

Snowflakes (work-in-progress)

As a pop culture project for my Contemporary Art and Culture Project, I rewrote part of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"--- backing track is created by drum samples and processed violin. Enjoy!

Here are the rewritten lyrics in the verse:
teenage mutant ninja turtles
ash, pikachu and squirtle
dragonball, cocoa puffs, government ploys.

push-up bra, super breasts
monica lewinsky's dress
hair gel, TRL backstreet boys

patrick shwayze etta james
amy winehouse billy mays
michael jackson whitney houston rest in peace

vhs to blueray
equal rights both straight and gay
jay-z and beyonce northface fleece.

hurricane katrina waves,
lady gaga born this way
cloning sheep, autotune
swine flu shots.

bush administrations war
now obama says no more
made in china outsourced
what's this generation worth?

Waking Up (Is Hard to Do)

An original song titled "Pretty Words (Like Villanelles)" --- with love from Sprightly <3

Pretty Words (Like Villanelles)

I was equipped with just a violin and a voice when I met Sprightly. Sprightly is the warmth in my heart and the joy in my lungs, a garden of the soul that blooms even in drought and darkness. Together, we make songs that sound like sunlight, constellations, and gentle ripples.
