it’s getting cold out
but i’m still sweating
'cause i’m nervous and i’m tired and i miss you

and i’ll admit that i’ve wasted my time trying
and i know it’s wrong to have felt like i felt
in times when i should not

would you come home for me?
if i needed you the way you needed me
you know i’d be there if i was asked to
i’m not bulletproof, but i’d take one for you

hours ago, i was crazy
i was on the floor, i was convulsing 
so do something
i’ve been waiting all night long

would you come home for me?
i know it’s been years now, 
but i can’t break free
i’m still learning my place here
do you still remember my namesake?
in october, i saw god’s face
can i call you? would you do this?
cause i need you on christmas

i need you (on christmas)

everything



will be alright

i'd like to see you come time for winter season
if you'd like to come down to my house,
i'd be more than pleased to have you

would you like to talk about the last year we spent without?
oh how i missed you

and then we'll talk about spending the rest of them together

last year / opportunities

from the album "the world through your polaroid glasses" available 11/8!

first of all, thank you for sharing all of that
that's so-
i just really appreciate it, and i'm sorry for not responding
cause it was not my intention!
i like- you're definitely right
what we're going through, what we've experienced is not the same
but i appreciate how you can, you know, pick out the similarities
and really empathize with me
and it sounds like you've been going a lot of just-
you know, realizing a lot of things for what they actually are
and that sounds really hard,
but also probably really good for, you know, the clarity
and everything you've been saying
you're talking about you're been developing your own spiritual life
and you're conscious about things
i just know that, just as i know you right now,
even when it's feeling the exact opposite,
you're already doing so great in life

recorded/produced in 2022
thank you kiara for the lovely voice messages

from the album "the world through your polaroid glasses" available 11/8!

so, what i remembered,
um- like this moment
where i could either face the consequences of my actions,
because it was my fault,
and the consequences were going to be bad
it was gonna be really, really bad

or i had the choice of doing a do-over,
but i could be transported to a different reality
i could stay in this reality,
or i run the risk of accepting the do-over
but not being being able to remain in this reality

but it's like it was a gamble, and i chose
and i basically gambled my life
and i should have accepted reality as it is
and not tried to, like, change it
because i lost everything
and... it wasn't worth it

people get upset that bad things happen,
or even that they caused bad things to happen
and they wish that they had gone back and done things differently
or there were no consequences to it
but you don't know that it's like- well the bad things happen
but maybe that was the best case scenario
and we have this idea that maybe if that hadn't happened,
we would be okay
but maybe that's not the case

i left my love at the wayside

birthday split single with Spring Thing!! he makes great music, go check it out! https://soundcloud.com/springthingmusic/tracks

“Ben Gibbard Broke My Heart” is a song I wrote a few years ago, when the titular Benjamin Gibbard and his fellow bandmates of The Postal Service, Jenny Lewis and Dntel, began teasing something mysterious on all their social media accounts, as well as The Postal Service’s. A lot of fans, including myself, got very excited at the idea of a possible reunion. So the days and weeks passed, and after all that buildup- we were treated to a zoom call to encourage voting (which you should do!!!) and a (very nice) live album. It wasn’t the big announcement of new music that we were all hoping for unfortunately. It was hard not to be disappointed, Give Up being one of my favorite albums ever, but there is always a silver lining! In this case, it inspired me to write a song. “Ben Gibbard Broke My Heart” is a fun and punchy lo-fi indie rock jam about the frustrations of a young Postal Service super-fan having their heart broken by expectations, and how they (I) channeled those frustrations into song. This one is a real banger, and I’ve been sitting on it for quite some time now, I really hope you’ll give it a listen and enjoy it! :)

p.s. - every second of this song was written and recorded in nothing but good fun, I mean absolutely no offense and bear zero ill-will to anyone over at The Postal Service. no hard feelings from me personally, will always love and appreciate all of the wonderful work the three of you have contributed to the musical world, your art will undoubtedly live beyond any of us <3 -uncle joe

"the world through your polaroid glasses" is a collection of transitional ambient pieces recorded between 2019 and 2022. this is an album about healing, about growth, about spirituality, about gaining a new perspective on things once thought lost. a peek at a spinning looking glass, through lenses carried from generation to generation. this album is about the changes and transitions i have gone and continue to go through, the ones we all go through, big and small- and our eternal quest for acceptance.

you are not alone, and you are not broken. making these songs has brought me solace in some of my worst times, and i hope they might be able to lighten up your life a little bit <3
