I could scroll forever 
Hashtag surrender
Blue light depressor
Filtered for your pleasure

So I pretend to be happy
Pick up my phone and take a selfie
100 takes until its dark outside
Edit the picture way too many times

An influencer heaven
For secretive selling
Rising rates of depression
From the self obsession 

So I pretend to be happy
Pick up my phone and take a selfie
100 takes until its dark outside
Edit the picture way too many times

Join pointless competition 
If you’re follower driven
Behind bars in online prison
confidence crucifixion

Time to set the caption
To make it seem sincere
What’s the plan of action
Ill delete it out of fear

Hashtag surrender
You have 10 new likes
Hashtag forever
Turn off your device

So I decide to be happy
Who the fuck cares about a selfie
Close your phone and look inside 
Compared myself way too many times

You are so unique 
Against instagram deceit
Breathe in some relief 
There’s no need to compete

I am unique 
Against the instagram elite
I am complete
A rare masterpiece

JUST AN INSTINCT

Grew up in the same street
Bound to meet
Kicking cans together
Laughed forever
Went to the same school
Shared some thoughts about life
Growing up was fun and games
Or so we thought

We bought our cars
We went to bars
Laid on the beach 
Life unfurled
Sitting in the park
Watching cricket
'Till it was dark
Then barbecues 
And lemon fools

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think you’d thought it through
I don’t think you wanted to…

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct? 
I don’t think you wanted to…
I don’t think you’d thought it through

Then we went to Uni
Kept in touch
Went to gigs
We told the wildest stories
Laughed the hardest laughs
Danced the hardest dances
Trekked the highest paths
Got totally lost
Totally lost

Then I got married
Had two children
Got divorced
Moved away from here
Everybody moves
I’m on my own
With my mobile phone
Looking for clues
Looking for you

And when the going got tough, 
I hung on for dear life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think I’d thought it through
I don’t think I wanted to…
I don’t think I’ll fall in love… 
Again...
Lah-di-dah-di-dah
Again!
Lah-di-dah-di-dah

Just An Instinct

old original song from 2002  i wanted record

All My Hate

I played clarinet for a few years in both elementary and middle school, and ever since then, I have occasionally craved the feel of playing one. In September of 2022, I was at a flea market in Lemoyne PA when I saw one for sale. It was in the exact same case that I remember as a kid; same brand and everything. I was even able to get a nice sound out of it with the reed that was included. My mom insisted on buying it for me.  I love it! Within five days I wrote and produced this song, which contains...you guessed, a clarinet solo.

Roller Coaster (Acoustic Live at Home)

First song in the Covid-19 inspired Jukebox Cloister Song Cycle. A soul-inspired song with a cry for personal redemption in the face of personal loss and crisis amid mass societal quarantine.

lyrics
Locked down in a motel
Nothin’ much to do
Gone through all of Netflix
Yeah … YouTube too

Chorus
Take me to a canyon
Leave me on a hill
Let me plunge into the jungles
Of Thailand or Brazil

Take me to a river
Lead me to a lake
I’ll swim in gin-cold waters
Feel my spirit reawake

Talked to Mom the other night
She said Father passed away
Couldn’t make it to the funeral
No farewells to mark the day
Drinking 24 hours plus
TV, porn, junk food
Oh God! Here comes the misery
Of a howling, black-dog mood

Chorus
Take me to the mountain
Roll me down the slope
Stone me to oblivion
Or let me live in hope

Take me to the desert
Set me down and let me roam
Then take me over Jordan
So I’ll know I’m going home

Bridge
Her face shone like the sun
Her clothes were white as light
She moved about the ocean
From the dawn until midnight
You gotta, gotta, gotta …

Chorus
Take me to the ocean
Cast me in the sea
Strip me of my raiments
Let the waves roll over me

Take me to the ocean
Let me glimpse the Seven Seas
I will cleanse my tainted body
Be renewed upon the breeze

Take me to the ocean
Cast me in the sea
Leave me with my vision
Let the waves envelop me
