Where We’re Going

November 11, 2008

It continues.  I’m writing and recording enough to start posting new lyrics. Where you taking me tonight? restless shadows at the sides help this dream for what we find long across the setting sky I stood at the edge of my world marked with a dotted line my heart is pounding in my chest reminding […]

Wandering On

August 3, 2008

I didn’t sleep last night. Instead I made final mixdowns and took a nap around noon. All trial and error is done, all recording and mixing is done except for a few slight bugs (take the vocals down a notch on one track, turn up the guitar a little on another, etc.) This is the […]

Outside

July 11, 2008

keep my failures where they belong, where did I go wrong? search myself for some reason and let it all get me down when it’s over I’ll be looking backwards, that’s not what I want the days are fading, why am I still waiting for the spinning to stop when I was younger, I felt […]

If I knew what to do I wouldn’t be here with you somethings caught inside my head […]

Give MN Back to Canada

June 30, 2008

temperature falls the cold and crispy clean breathing in what’s left of the air brains freeze to my sleep I crystallize make no mistake, we’re far away chemicals die this has to be the same a restless breaking-free of a fantasy sounds don’t put up a fight reverberate I just don’t know what else to […]

The Surrealist Diary Poem

May 24, 2008

I won’t make a habit out of posting these, but they’re fun. I came up with this idea a few years ago. Write about what you did today (Microsoft Word or similar works best. Notepad doesn’t) then randomly select and move stuff around until it looks like a poem. Clean it up and post it […]
