Um, I like raccoons? I'm trying to not be afraid to branch into new and bizarre styles of music, so thanks for listening! If you had to write a love song to an animal, which would it be?

Lyrics:

Let me tell you a tale

of a boy who set sail

for a land so far away

With a song in his heart

and a fresh new start

he had no reason to stay

But a time very short

after he left the port

a storm began to set in

So He hummed a tune

about a raccoon

he met in horse shoe bay

I was just on my way home

with groceries tucked in hand

A few feet from the door

and I happened to make a new friend

Fluffy like my mother's a kitty

and colors black'n grey,

I fell in love

with a raccoon

I met in horse shoe bay

Raccoons are just the finest

Raccoons have tinny hands

Raccoons have my heart and more

Raccoons are just so grand

And I would love to be a raccoon

Even just for a day

I'd sneak and prowl

With my new pall

I met in horse shoe bay

Now the wind started blown

as the storm came rolling

To claim his ship to the sea

He'd get lost on his way to the

friend he would say

he met in horse shoe bay

I got bummed out one night and started playing blues riffs on guitar. Next thing I know, I have a slow 8-bar blues on my hands. Special thanks to Triss from Triss Tunes on YouTube for helping me out with a lot of the solo guitar work!

Another special thanks to @dankmaths and @FindChaos for their original portraits of us for this week! They take commissions and do full color work!

Lyrics:

I'm not playing any games

I'm not playing with your heart

Tell me why you had to play me for a fool

I didn't think, try as I may

That our story would end this way

and I didn't know you could be so cruel

All I know, is that I'm lost and scared, oh

Things are changing and I feel like I'm running out of air

While you run out on me

Lets experiment with more classic pop-punk sounds! I felt like I missed the mark a little on this song, but it was fun experimenting and making this short fun track. I'm a sucker for telephone effects on instruments.

Lyrics:

Let me know when it's okay

for me to be myself again

I think that is only fair.

Just tell me everything will all be alright

so I can get some sleep tonight

The stress is tearing me apart

Tearing me apaprt

It doesn't matter what I say

No one's listening anyway

Never thought I'd feel this cold

Feel like I'm losing all control

what happens next I just don't know

Please save me from myself

Please save me

I made a song from a meme! I was so amused by this news interview and the talented beat-boxing at the end that I just had to do something with it. Special thanks to The Real Spark, the man behind the interview

Lets start Season 2 with a love story! I confess that The introduction was inspired by 'At The Bottom of Everything' by Bright Eyes, just a spoken word story to introduce the song. This is all a true story by the way, with the name of the love interest redacted of course. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

Surrounded by a million people, they just walk on by

But something special about you caught my eye

I want to, need to know, more about who you are

You've got me singing songs like never before!

This is your chance now take it,

Speak up before she's gone for good,

Let her know how you're feeling.

This silly little crush of mine

Just might break my heart in two.

I just need to see you again

I know that this is incredibly forward,

But this is what you've done to me

Oh, would you take this song, as a formal invitation?

Darling, would you,

Darling, could you,

Darling, you're driving me crazy

Would you please, join me for coffee.

Happy Belated New Years!!!

In February, I was listening to the podcast, What Should We Draw, and it was the first episode the host had done in 2018, and the host mentioned he got sick during New Years. He thought, "It would be funny for a boy band singing a New Years song about getting sick with friends." I immediately quit paying attention to class and started writing lyrics and a melody, and the song came in to being. This song is a bit bizarre, but it's cute and I like it. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

I wake up choking on my own snot

My throat is sore and my temperature is hot

My body is losing to this winter's cold

I had plans tonight, why would this happen to me?

I'm sick for new years (Sick for the new year)

Dripping from my nose (Drip drip drip'n)

can't party with friends (No party tonight)

That's just how it goes (I'm so full of snot)

Looks like We'll spend this new year

sick and alone

I call up my friends and say I can't make it out tonight

With a little concern, they ask "Why you being a little bitch?"

I caught a bug that's slowly killing me

and my sinuses hurt when I get up to pee

They say "Get well soon my friend"

And I puke on the phone

Just a few minutes before the ball drops

I'm bundled up and ready to die

I hear a voice and a knock at the door

But ignore it because it hurts to move

We hear you're sick for New Years, (Sick for the new year)

Dripping from your nose, (Drip drip drip'n)

you can still hang with us (We'll party tonight)

that's just how it goes (I have such good friends)

We can start this new year sick,

but not alone

Michael Buble and Sinatra were probably the first artists I listened to before I got exposed to punk music. I wrote this a short while back when I had a job playing piano at an Italian restaurant. Let me know what you think and thanks for giving it a listen!

Lyrics:

Someone's gonna take me home tonight

Someone's gonna brighten up my life

Someone's gonna take me far from here

Someone's gonna take away my fear

Someone's gonna call my name

My life will never be the same

There is only one I can adore

Could you be the one that I've been waiting for?

We'll have a house with a white picket fence

We'll throw parties and invite all our friends

We'll be the bell of the ball,

and it's my name that you'll call

Cause you're the one I've been waiting for

I've had my ups and downs, and I keep clowning around

And I can't seem to keep this smile on my face

Need someone in my arms to proudly call me theirs

And all I'd ever want is their sweet embrace.

This was a really eye opening experiment where I got to play with samples and loops to make a sort of psychedelic rock melody. Thanks for giving this song a listen!

Lyrics:

Think again, where you've been where you're coming from.

What makes you cry what makes you lie and what makes you run.

Want you to live, want you to breath, want you to come with me,

want the music to take you whole and set you free

---

Sing it loud sing it proud sing a song for me,

Did you end up who you thought you would be?

Come and sway, night or day, I just want you hear

Hold me close, oh so close, just hold me dear.

It's finally finished! Here is my parody song about Skyrim and losing yourself in Tamriel. Special thanks to my friend Ian for helping me get some in-game footage I needed for this video!

Lyrics:

(Skyrim theme intro)

Skyrim calls me!

I haven't finished Skyrim yet

I'm almost done with the main quest

but I am easily distracted by the

butterflies and pulling wings off them

And chasing elk down with my thu'um

Raiding ancient Nordic runes

Starting hundreds of side quests

and completing all of them

But life in Tamriel can be better than

real life ever could

Drink some skuma, hunt down dragons

join the dark brotherhood

After 300 hours you might

think I'm getting close to the end

But in the words of Boromir,

one does not simply beat Skyrim

I heard a rumor that I might have friends

and that they are inviting me out again

to a tavern or some place downtown

that's not in Skyrim

In the real world the graphics are great

but this plot line sucks, it's really second rate

it's as if the main character might not be me

It's not like someone with the amulet of Mara is going to sweep me off my feet

The way life is going, it's not like anything or anyone can compete

I will slay every dragon, rob the ragged flagon,

till this hole in my my life is complete

But in the words of Boromir,

One does not simply beat Skyrim

(Skyrim theme out)

Here is a folk song I composed back in undergrad in New Mexico. I was really influenced by Mumford and Sons back then and a lot of local musicians also liked that acoustic style. Let the song take on any meaning to you, but I personally wrote it while frustrated, studying for the GRE grad school entrance exams. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Lyrics:

There comes a point in every man's life

Where you ask yourself son,

Just how far have I come

Just what have I done

I've taken the beaten path

Was this all a waste of time?

When will it all end?

Could I just get a sign?

I've grown so tired

of all these games,

these bags under my eyes

no salt left in these veins.

With all the strength I have left

Could I have just one more day

Try as I might

Will it matter any way

I've become skin and bone

Although I eat every day

Try as I might

I'm withering away

---

Don't tell me how much time I have left

Don't tell me how close I've come

For when I lay my head to rest

I'll know that I've won
