You Were Gone

Download You were gone2

I wrote this song when I was feeling a little bit sad. It was really strange cuz, like, I noticed a while ago that all the crows in my neighborhood were missing. So, I stuck a thing about the crows missing in the song. Yesiree.

Cosmetic Empty-Side

Download Cosmeticemptyside2

I got this song from a dream; well, I got the first verse/chorus thingy from the dream, anyway. The picture is the structure thingy I saw when I was in the dream. The song was supposedly about Native American people who were trying to be British, and somehow they were dying. The song was about them dying. The structure thingy was involved in the whole process of them trying to be British and dying, but I don't remember how. It's sort of like I sort of know what the song's about but I sort of don't at the same time cuz that surrealistic dream-language tends to be sort of loose and floppy, meaning-wise.

Trucks As Big As Houses

Oh, dude, it's been a while since I've done a new song. I've been so busy workin' on my nice li'l graphic novel that I ain't been doin' much, music-wise. But here's a new one. It took me something like 9 months to write it. Oh, whoah, that's a gestational period. How strange.

Download Trucks as big as houses

I came up with the idear when I was driving on the 880 and found that I didn't want to be run over by the very big trucks on it. The song is abstract-ish, though, so it's subject to all kinds of interpretation and all that.

Those Darn Ads

I get so tired of those "limp dick" ads on TV. Here's the most recent Levitra one. Or was it Cialis?

Yet Another Vampire Song

The mix for this song is kind of ass, but I'll post it anyway. I was playing around with my fake version of pitch correction, ha ha ha.

Song that Characters Sing on Page 37

Here's a wee excerpt of a song that shows up in Volume 1 of my graphic novel, oh yeah. I haven't published it yet, but I wanted people to hear what the song sounds like, cuz when the characters sing it, you only just see the words, and you don't hear what the melody is like. The rest o' this song ain't ready for prime-time yet, so I just posted a li'l snippet of it.

'Course the part that the characters sing is kind of quiet in this recording, so you sort of have to listen for it. If you've read far enough in the novel, yes, the Timmy and Bobby in this song are the same people as the characters that show up toward the end of Volume 1.

From A Dream

I know this isn't a song,  but it's something I got from a dream. I dreamed of a comic book about an alien planet, where there was a sharp division between the rich and the poor. The long caption says: the middle rich dude was considered to be uncommonly handsome because he had a straight nose, which is not so common on this world.

The Root Note Heaven

There've been a couple instances in my life when there's been bad stuff, like, really super bad stuff. But then outta that bad stuff comes a song, and the song is sort of like God tapping me on the shoulder and saying, yes you're going through a really hard time, but I'm still here. 

Damnation Alley

Download Damnation alley

This song's about a bar of soap that talks and is psychic and predicts the future. It's about being damned. 'Course I totally stole the title from this movie from the 80's about nuclear war. I feel a little bad about stealing that particular catch phrase, but then again, I sort of don't care. It's funny how, as I get older, I don't care that much about plagiarism more and more.

Or no, wait, it's not plagiarism. I'm just making a reference to that movie.

The Art of Suffering

Here's another song about suffering. It's a song about life.

I can't remember if I've posted it before or not,  but I'm pretty sure this is the 1st time I've posted this version of it on here.

And They Would Never Stop

This here's a sad song about a laptop computer. It's about a year and a half old, but I didn't get the nerve to publish it till just about now. It's my attempt at techno music. Well, actually, it's my attempt at fusing techno music with regular music. All the drum sounds and stuff are things I sampled and mixed together in SoundEdit. Nifty. The song's called "And They Would Never Stop," although I had considered calling it "Sad Laptop Song."

An Oldie But An Oldie

Download 13 cant have me

I'm not sure if I spelled "oldie" properly. But anyway, that's what this song is. It's 10 years old, yeah. Or, it'll be 10 years old sometime in the fall. It's one of those post-break-up songs. Break-ups can be pretty good inspirations for songs.
