Mothers Day 2021

as women, we're constantly bombarded with images of who we need to be to be deemed "attractive" and thus, "worthy".   Whether we're "strong" or not, it inflitrates one's consciousness. It most certainly has done for me. its kind of shocking...as i'm going through a program to be a therapist, it's made me hyperaware of the constancy of the negative thoughts in my mind that are way too critical (and likely also contribute to me not ever wanting to play live and get myself out there in front of an audience).   

i remember the first time someone told me they loved me, and it was very hard to understand or imagine that someone could love me. i'm sure we all have thoughts like this..
this song is for all of us, who have felt so unlovable.   

i hope it inspires someone to open up.  to be loved.  to remember you deserve that.  even, when you've been conditioned to not.

this will be one part of a song. i sing some hums and oohs and ahhs over this part, but I want to make it sound a little better first

goofing around with iOS Loopy app on my iPhone

I'm playing bass through a Boss overdrive / distortion pedal straight into an audio interface

more goofing off with Loopy HD looper app on my iPhone

it was late and i thought i had no creativity in me, but then i came up with this fun jam  into a loop pedal. it really builds
it's based on a 7 beat pattern

casio pt-20 and a mic into a delay / looper pedal

quick little jam with loopyhd app on my iphone

quick Jam with Beatbox and Bass and Guitar

this keyboard is so fun - I suck at playing keyboard / piano but it seems like everything you play on this sounds pretty good

little jam with Yamaha - Ps-55s and looper pedal

Just watched Garden State so I thought I'd cover this
Original by The Postal Service 
Covered the Iron and Wine version though. 
1 take on my phone deal with it

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God Himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
And when I am missing you to death
And when you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon the sending
And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
And this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they'll say
They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now 
everything will be just fine

Such Great Heights

verse 1, chorus 1. it's fine.

I'm chokin on salt
the lake is heavy in the air
you keep slowing me down
but my bike's a fixed gear

i'll wait for you
in the best way that i know how
honey, there's no patience in this blood stream
tho there's light beams & loose seams

i'm so tired of timelines (it's fine)
c'mon catchup with me now
get to my speed (it's fine)

It's Fine (WIP)

we were like men who dreamed
