Hi,

I spent more than 100 hours on this 3 minute song and video.

First, I wrote the song. Then I practiced the song. Then I recorded my guitar and vocals. I next sent those files to my amazing friend Ryan Dicker, a musical genius and sound engineer, who added bass and drums, before mixing it down. He’s amazing.

Then, I drew. Fifty times. Then I edited. And re-drew. And edited. Then I stopped. Warts and all…

Please give it a listen, and please send it to a friend if you think they’d like the song and its message.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this. I had so much fun. So much. And life is supposed to be fun, right?

Lyrics:

The Biggest Giant Ever (in the World)

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever, in the world

Once upon a time when dinosaurs ruled this land

There weren't any humans but the giants had clans

and in this special group there was an extra-large man

He was the biggest giant, but no one understands

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever, in the world

Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold

In Flagstaff ya know, in Flagstaff I'm told

Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold

In Flagstaff ya know, in Flagstaff I'm old

Fear is just a word that people give to things

But there's no such thing, yeah there's no such thing

Fear is just a word that people give to things

But there's no such thing, yeah there's no such thing.

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever

The biggest giant ever, in the world

Swimming and sunshine and darkness and cold

He was the biggest giant at least that's what I'm told

but even if he's tired or he's just feeling old

he was the biggest giant in the whole wide world

And once upon a time when dinosaurs ruled this land

There weren't any humans but the giants had clans

and in this special group there was an extra-large man

He was the biggest giant but you will never understand
