imagine if you will, an old clockmaker sitting in his shop, tinkering away with gears and springs.  this work is his passion, and so as he sits and tinkers he earns HP (listen for the blips).

The Clockmaker's Shop

a driving beat and some gratuitous arpeggios.  what more could you ask for?

You're Different

lyrics:

come sail away, oh sail away
come sail away on the back of the breeze
soaring above the clouds and the trees
come sail away on the wind with me

Sailing Away On The Wind

lyrics:

alone on a mountain
where the clouds swim in your eyes
alone on a mountain
where you feel the sun in the evening sky

chorus:
rise
fall
winds
call
rise
fall
you've heard this all before

Mountain Magic

lyrics:

oh, what a relief it is
to find a moment of serenity
within a piece of music.

how often (how often) do
the noises of our daily grind
drown out the sound
of tranquility?

so
now
get close and comfy with a good friend,
and spend that time you've been saving.

feel free to spend it all in once place.

Relief

remix of Relief after moving from GarageBand to LogicPro.

Relief (Willi Vanilli's Logical Remix)

lyrics (sampled from Mark Twain's _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court_):

words realize nothing,
vivify nothing to you,
unless you have suffered in your own person the thing which the words try to describe.
vivify nothing to you (to you)
unless you have suffered in your own person
life.

here flows the stream,
let all come and drink.

So Far (or An Arizona Yankee In Samuel Clemens' Court)

words:

I know times can get tough,
and you feel like you'll never catch a break.

you will.

you must keep on
chasing the horizon
inch by inch,
mile by mile,
no matter what or whom tries to block your path.

because it's there
right over the next hill
just around the bend.

you can make it.
don't give up.

never surrender.

I believe in you.

Never Surrender

late at night, a steam-powered warehouse.  the workers have all gone home, and—left to their own devices—the sprites of steam that power the machines decide to have a little party :)

Dance Of The Steam Sprites

as the name would have you believe, this tune was inspired by watching raindrops falling in a puddle. we don't get much rain out here in Arizona, so when we do I like to savor it as much as I can.

I like to imagine the raindrops as sprites of water, and the puddles as the venues for their wee dances. if you know how to read the ripples, there's no end to the wonders you might learn ;)

Raindrops In A Puddle

I wanted to make a four-chord song for a change, and this was the result.  if you've ever been out and seen that special someone and not quite known how to approach them from across the dancefloor, this song is for you.

lyrics:
I've been watching you all night
and I can't stop thinking about
how nice it would be
to know your name
or hold your hand
or dance with you awhile.
and don't you think it would be nice
if we could get to know each other better?

hey
[repeated and varied]

don't you think

hey.
I hear your sounds.
I see your shapes.
I'm hooked,
so
reel me in.

I've been watching (. . .)

hey.
I hear your sounds.
I see your shapes.
I'm hooked,
so
reel me in.

I've been watching (. . .)

hey (. . .)
