Waiting for Me/House of Ghosts

WAITING for Me

 This is a song about ancestors comin' around to get you and take you to the afterlife when you die. It's a happy song about death.

What Would Happen If I Did A Song Where I Kept All The Mess-Ups In It?

MESSUPS Song

 I was recording a song today and, as usual, messed up a lot and recorded over the mess-ups. The question occurred to me: What would happen if I did a song and kept all the mess-ups in it? Here it is!! 

There Were Ghosts Last Night

There Were Ghosts Last Night

  This is a song about having ghosts in your house and offering them a beer. Or whiskey or gin or something.

What's Gonna Become of Us?

What's Gonna Become of Us

 It's another song about the fucked up world, and the likelihood of said world ending soon. I had this F# minor chord ringing over the whole thing that added a little color to the regular chords of the song, and it made it extra-special-depressing and stuff. This song is God-flushing-humanity-down-the-toilet-themed.

The Anti-Christ

ANTICHRist

 This is a song about the anti-Christ comin' and stuff. It came to me to have the song be peaceful and sad. When I was a kid and I had end-of-the-world-dreams, they were sad. There was just this great sadness hanging in the air. That's sorta the vibe o' this here little ditty.

Covid Is Coming To Town

Covid Is Coming To Town

 This is a song about when Covid was on the horizon - we were waiting for it to get here. Y'know, probably January-ish/February-ish of 2020. Something along those lines. There was that ominous feeling of a thunderhead on the horizon approaching slowly. You knew things were going to get bad, but you didn't know how bad. And you see it comin' and comin' and comin', and there's nothing you can do to make it stop. It's almost like the slow approach of Covid was like watching an accident in slow motion or something. It's just this thing happening and you can't make it stop. Oh, and the whole thing about toilet paper.

Post-script (5/28/2025): I kept on listening to the wee little demo I made before I recorded the "final" version of the song and was really fond of it. So, I re-worked things and made half of the wee little demo into the very first part of the song. We'll see how I feel about it later on, but I'm kinda liking it. See below.

Backwards and Weird Forwards Storm Song

Backwards Tornado Song

 It's been about 2.5 years since I've recorded a backwards version of one of my songs - geez, has it been that long? This is a song that's in that Hell-movie I'm working on. But I performed it backwards and stuff.

Storm Song Turned Around

And here's what it sounds like when you turn the song up there around.

Here's a link to the first part of the movie (it's going to be in 3 parts).

Hell Movie: Part 2

 Here's the dumping ground for the installments of Part 2 of the Hell movie I'm working on!

Under Construction:

Maybe I'll Get Really Drunk

Maybe I'll Get Really Drunk

 Yeah, in times such as these, there's not much more that you can do than get really drunk. 

I'll go back to drawling little cartoon me pictures to illustrate the songs really soon; I was too lazy to do it today, so here's a picture of a kitty.

Natural Dream (Rough Cut)

Natural dream mix 2

 I think this is a decent song, but it's a crap recording. Bleh. But it's a song about how we've gotten away from who we're naturally supposed to be, as a species.

A Rip in the Universe

 

This is just me messing around. I was recalling the days when I said really weird things when I was rapping cuz I was trying to get rhymes and stuff. I just went hog wild saying weird things to make many rhymes in the rap at the end. The song is (loosely) about what the title says it is about.

I Wonder If There's Something Wrong With Me

I Wonder If There's Something Wrong With Me

 I woke up feelin' off this morning, yes, indeed, and I wondered if there was something wrong with me. Then I remembered this song from yesteryear I did a long time ago. It's a wee little ditty about wondering if there's something wrong with me - I think it was 2002 that I did it. This is sorta an updated version; I don't really remember what the original one sounded like, though, so maybe it's a whole new song.

Two Ghost Houses

Two Ghost Houses

 This song is a true story: I used to live in Altadena, and ever since the fire, I was wondering how my old house and how my landlords' house fared (they're right next door to each other). A friend and I drove there a few weeks ago, and my old house and my landlords' house are still standing! The house next door to my landlords' house was also standing. But the whole rest of the block, and most of the rest of the street, were burnt down - just total devastation. These 2 houses, which used to be such happy places, looked sad. They looked ghostly. They looked like houses that didn't know what to do with themselves, being on a block of houses that had been destroyed. They looked desolate and uncanny. That's what this song is about.

The lyrics are:

(There were) two ghost houses in a ghostly part of town, standing next door to a house that hadn't burned down
Once, I lived in Altadena

It's a town that's been a pal to me, the

Years I lived there, oh eight and oh nine

I can say were so great and so fine

I lived in a little guest house

Next to my landlords; it was the best - how

Sweet a deal it was to move to that

Neat, appealing place with my 2 cats

(There were) two ghost houses in a ghostly part of town, standing next door to a house that hadn't burned down

In January, I was aware the

Weather might get mighty bad and hairy

A windstorm formed that was like Hell's fury

It was not normal, and I got worried

My friend texted me - I was learning

From him that Altadena was burning

In the aftermath, I wondered had my

Old house and landlords' house survived that bad night?

I have memories of those 2 houses; bring back those memories of those houses

Two ghost houses in a ghostly part of town, standing next door to a house that hasn't burned down

My friend who texted me and I took a drive

To see if that old house of mine had survived

It was standing and the landlords' was, too

Was it a grand thing? Damn, I am feeling blue

Them and the next door one were the only

Ones that had not burned down - they looked lonely

They looked mostly ghostly and uncanny

Surrounded by ruins as far as my eyes can see

(There were) two ghost houses in a ghostly part of town, standing next door to a house that hadn't burned down

Hell: Part 1

Here it is for your viewing pleasure!
