A Simple Thing

Love Song for Somebody

The Evening

Heard the word "ambulance" once in a Blur song and thought it was an interesting word to build a song around - or at least try to

Ambulance Song

Beautiful world

Walk Down Any Street

This is about a surreal road trip west to Cali with my baby and the Monkey. It includes encounters with the man with the spray-on tan. Give it a chance.

How the West was Won - Again

I was feeling good and wanted to try to write something with a dreamy, semi-psychedelic feel that conveyed happiness.

It's a Fine Thing

Whatever happened to the middle? Seems like everything has to be at one end or the other. It might be more comfortable, but it isn't real.

Middle of Nowhere

Song is partly about the "her" that he'll never be good enough for, and partly about the wider world that maybe has decided he isn't good enough.

Not Good Enough

An attempt to capture kind of the 1980s blue-eyed soul feel.

Don't You Worry

This began as a goodbye song to someone and evolved into kind of a children's lullaby about a bird on a window sill.

Little Bird

A song written around the first line that just kind of popped into mind.

Fingertips

Sort of a lament for the end of the truth in our world.

Truth  Ends

Trying to describe the feeling of finding the perfect one and wanting to see how far it will go and how long it will last.

How Far Love Goes

Initially, this was an experiment to write a song using predominantly one chord in the mode of Tomorrow Never Knows. Took some ideas from the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and added the gospel-ish ending.

Long Road To Bodhi

A little piano ballad built around a piano figure that got stuck in my head. The lyrics just followed from the first line.

Tangled

For me, this is about finding a way to recreate the sounds that are part of the soundtrack to this life.
