  • The Shower Song, Intermittent Intimate (Ritualization)

    This was recorded around 2003. MacroMichael on vocals, Lee Matuga on Lead Guitar and Adam Sarsby on drums.


    Some background is that all of the lyrics that you hear are off the top of my head, except for the verse from "Intermittent Intimate," later in the song, which was composed another time.


    There is some explicit language in this. I apologize if you are sensitive to that. There is good intentions behind this jam, towards the world and all people. We do our best to be interpreted that way. I will get back to my other current song-writing episodes in June, and I will try to include maybe some drums and bass, but time will tell.


    The song is largely about understanding existence within the world we live and in our relationships. How do we succeed?

    “Constant improvement of our soul,

    Through passing and failing and changing.”

  • Ways to Demonstrate
    I found this in my attic. Well… seriously… I usually write my lyrics in one or two sittings. If I like them and I have time, I put guitar to it and post it. It just happens upstairs, and incorporates everything that I can imagine to make things better in the time I have and with what I intend to offer, fresh guitar and vocals or whatever. ☮️

  • Pathways (Gridlock)
    This song was featured in my first episode for this podcast, but the guitar part did not originally match up. I have made some progress in playing lead and singing at the same time, since then. This is an improvement. I'm not looking for perfect. I am looking for an example of the lyrics with guitar, so that I have a starting point. This song was written around 2003. It has not been played with the guitar and lyrics in harmony prior to these last couple recording sessions. The song is about looking deep into things, and having lucid conversations to help us make it through life.

  • Pathways (Gridlock)
    Take it as you hear it, or see it, or feel it. If it leaves you short, well more work is required, but the lyrics make sense and the guitar is decent. Hopefully it connects with an audience out there that has a love of lyrics and basic electric guitar. This is one of my only songs written before 2021 (actually around 2003), that had guitar for the lyrics, but I have never played it in full while using the lead guitar in harmony with the lyrics. I practiced yesterday and then put it down first take today, still basic, but fun?

  • Get Your Power
    This is something that could be draining for some, but I have fought for it, so I am releasing it now. I recorded this with a head cold, into my fourth day of Covid. I’m surviving by having taken care of myself, but still no fun. Rest is very important. Now we can charge up and draw on our reserves to make more of a difference in the world moving forward!

  • Get Your Power
    I do believe that we all have a power within, that we can access when we realize that it is there in the first place. Sometimes to access our inner strength we have to look past flaws and not look for perfection. We have to choose our battles. That is what this song is about. February podcast.

  • Chasing All Our Dreams
    I wrote this song this week. Some snow days in there, but once the lyrics were started, the music happened fast. This is the quickest production time for my podcast episodes, (writing lyrics to publishing episode) but I think this episode still stands out with good lyrics and guitar work. Rough but flowing. Message consistent: Promote peace.

  • Chasing All Our Dreams
    I wrote this song this weekend (after three “snow days”). I started the guitar yesterday. It is the quickest recording I have (from start to published podcast episode) but I think it stands up with good lyrics and guitar work. Rough but flowing. Message consistent. Promote peace.

  • All That We Believe
    New lyrics are about thinking. Belief. The song has developed so far, very fast. As usual, I am going to publish at a fresh stage. I like the guitar work. With some input and collaboration on all these songs, there are great possibilities untapped,

  • Direction to Taste
    This is fresh. Brand new. The guitar ideas have just formed now. The lyrics share some different angles in a themed poem that I just wrote. It’s about taste.
