Una de las canciones más complejas que he grabado nunca tanto por estructura como por instrumentación, tardé meses en grabarla.  Sin tener en cuenta las repeticiones utilizo doce acordes distintos de los cuales sólo hay un La Mayor y un mi menor como acordes "frecuentes", todos los demás son acordes "raros".

Bossa Nova

I'm tough and tumble but you see right through me.
You're crisp, I'll crumble,
when I'm melting slowly
with every almost-touch you're breaking me back in.
We get so comfortable but found no place to begin.

Uncross your legs now we’re unstuck and parting
I’m off to sea and I’m undone with starting up
I sweat, you linger
when you want to sink me down
You lay a finger and I’ll get out of this town.
Get out of this town.

So kiss me, blue eyes,
I won’t let you lead alone
I’m restless, reckless,
I’ve got no place to call home.

And when I sleep I only dream about you
And when I weep
It’s probably about you too.

Cricket and the Genie

The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Cricket And The Genie

A piece commissioned and performed by the Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra, directed by Tom Cunningham. Performed at Queens College, Feb. 23, 2016. 

Program Note: "Whenever I get to a certain point in building a familiar to close relationship with someone, the topic inevitably surfaces. “Well, I have chronic anxiety and depression, so I take these pills to regulate my day-to-day existence in the world.” After Tom Cunningham, (UPCO director and the piece’s commissioner) told me that the commission theme centered around one’s personal take on the concept of “adequacy”, I immediately thought of my daily interaction with depression and anxiety, and by proxy, the medication that is supposed to help.

“I take these pills” is such a direct statement, and one which I say with intent but without drama, without stigma. I find it quite satisfying to express such a significant, yet ordinary part of my life through a piece of my own music."

I Take These Pills (2016)

You've got a tandem bicycle,
I've got a plan
and a radio,
Who knows just how far we'll go to?

By the time we reach the river bank,
The sun is on its way to sink,
and I'll be falling, falling,
In you. In you..

Hold me, hold me close!
Mmmm you, Mmmm you.

Give me your answer do,
I’m half crazy,
Falling in love with you.
It won’t be-

Through the fog
We see the other side,
The mist unveils to pale moonlight,
I want to see it in your eyes.
an endless blue,
I'm helpless, blue.
On a bicycle
built for two
Much too soon to -

Hold me close cause I might fade away.
Unfolding with all these little things, and all your little ways.
Mmmm you.

I've got -
a bicycle.
You’ve got a plan.
Who knows?
