Pray the Trees Into Heaven

 


Pray the Trees into Heaven Version 1

Pray the Trees into Heaven Version 2

Well, I was stupid and naive, thinking a concerned group of citizens could stop evil from happening. I as stupid to think the politicians in charge of approving the most evil housing development in the world (the Dana Reserve, in Nipomo, CA, which promises to kill 3 to 4K centuries old oak trees). I feel like I'm going to puke my guts out. Of COURSE this fucking got approved? Why????? Because America is not a democracy; it's an oligarchy. All the politicians give a shit about is making rich people happy; it doesn't matter than an ancient forest is going to get mercilessly slaughtered. That ENDANGERED SPECIES are going to get paved over. That the air in the town will now be unbreathable. Nope, the only thing that happens is that rich people (a.k.a. evil housing developers) are happy. 

Anyway, all I can do is try to pray the trees and other beings that'll die into Heaven. So here I am doin' that. There're 2 versions of this song; the first is more peppy and the second is all sad and head-voicy. 

 



Weird, Old-Guy Boyfriend


Weird Old Guy Boyfriend

Weird Old Guy Boyfriend - Mix 2

 This is the the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. The mean boyfriend comes for a visit and the main character is not excited. Y'know, she's not excited, cuz she's made the realization that she's gotta eventually break up with him. In the meantime, a friend o' hers invites her and the mean boyfriend to a Super Bowl party. The whole time she's there, she's all self-conscious and wondering what all the people there think of her weird, old-guy boyfriend. True story!

420 Song for 4/20/2024

 

420 Song 2024

 This is my song in honor of it being 4/20/2024, that fun old weed-smoking holiday. It's a sequel of the song I did last weekend (that just went live a few minutes ago here) about smokin' weed in a church and bein' discovered by the priest there (Father O'Malley). In this song, the narrator and Father O'Malley smoke together.

Banjo Church Stoned Song


Banjo church stoned song

 This a song about a girl who takes her banjo to church, and then she proceeds to get stoned in said church. Is Father O'Malley going to see her smoking??????? Oh, my!!!

TiredBoredScared


TiredBoredScared

This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's more stuff about the girl procrastinating on the whole breakup thing. Or, maybe, rather than procrastinating, she's building up her strength, so she can be all ready for the breakup when it happens. Maybe it's that.


She's tired of him. She's bored by him. And she's scared o' him. Here's a picture of her having a boring phone call with him.

Tinnitus


Tinnitus

 This is a song about tinnitus. The first couple seconds are me trying to replicate my actual tinnitus with pure tones. I actually did quite a good job, but find that it might be piercing to the listeners' ears, so I only had it there for that short span of time.


Tinnitus is a pain in the butt, but every once in a while, I find it entertaining. My tinnitus has multiple tones, and every once in a while they interact with each other to make this cool poly-rhythm type of thing.

Anyway, this is a song about a person, who likes her tinnitus, cuz she never feels alone. The ringing of her ears, musical in its nature, keeps her company.

Oh yeah, part of it is a reprise of a song that I've done a lot of reprises of. It's a song that came to me in 2019 after a big earthquake. It's a song that my ancestors, who were in the 1906 earthquake, sent me. Well, that's just a guess.

Stay That Way

 

Stay That Way

Stay That Way Mix 2

Stay That Way Mix 3

Stay That Way Mix 4

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. There was a song I wrote back in 2001 that called "She'll Stay That Way for a While" and I sorta re-worked it. Well, I re-worked it a lot. It's hardly recognizable as bein' the song it was before. But, anyway, there was all that depresso-land-adventure-poopy-yucky-ness of the impending break up that made me feel inspired to do depresso music back then in 2001. This depresso song speaks to that original poopy-depresso-land-adventure-poopy-yucky-ness, but in a new, exciting way. Yeah

Mix 1 is the version that's monotonous droning on and on of the same thing, which fits the theme of the song, in an artistic sense. Mix 2 is where I interesting-ed it up, because I don't want to make people's ears fall asleep.

Purple Blue Mercury Stillness


Purple Blue Mercury Stillness

Purple Blue Mercury Stillness - Revised

 Yeah, I decided to try makin' that funny Grey's Anatomy song from a few days ago into the kind of song that I was singing about in the Grey's Anatomy funny song. It's about death; y'know, it's about worrying about where friends and stuff end up after they die.

Post-script: there was a little section of lyrics I wasn't all the way happy with, so I changed it; the revised version is the one with the newly-worked-out lyrics. Poopity poop.

Zoloft

 


Zoloft Part 1

Zoloft part 1 is just a wee little rough draft; the full version of it is below. I mean, it starts out the same, but then I change it part way through. Zoloft (without the "part 1") is the more finished product, sorta.

Zoloft

Zoloft Mix 2

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's about how the girl, knowing she has to eventually break up with her boyfriend, gets all depressed. She decides to go back on Zoloft.

Someone Is Going To Die On Grey's Anatomy


Greys Anatomy

 This song is about how, whenever someone is about to die on Grey's Anatomy, there's almost always this sad, beautiful, poignant music that comes up. It's like, oh, I think this patient on the operating table is going to live! Then the sad, beautiful, poignant music comes up, and it's like, oops, they bled out. That's how I know somebody is going to die on Grey's Anatomy. That music comes on. Well, it's a different song each time. But they're all of the same category. This here little ditty is rough. My covid voice is gettin' the best of me these days.

Driving Through The Rain With Kitties


Driving Through the Rain With Kitties

 It's time for the yearly song with cats yelling in it cuz they were due for their little vet checkups. Here they are, yelling. A big rainstorm was starting, as I hit the road, complete with lotsa wind and everything. So, I figured, I'd make this little ditty about being all apprehensive about driving in the rain and wanting to make it home safely with the most precious cargo anyone could imagine. One's cats.

Dark Blue Winter, Part 2

 


Dark Blue Winter Part 2

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's sort of a sequel to the song I did a few weeks ago about it bein' the Dark Blue Winter. The gal in the album has become fairly certain that she's going to have to break up with her boyfriend, and it's making her all depressed.
