This is a song about coming to grips with the possibility that I'll never leave any lasting "legacy" for future generations. And that's okay. ;-)
Haven't posted a new one in a while. Here goes.
With Lyrics By Eeenie and Meanie
A Cub Scout recruitment anthem. Or something to scare the little buggers away . . .
One of my heaviest.
Written and recorded in under 30 minutes. An extension of the old Johnny Cash line "I shot a man just to watch him die." Sort of.
My kids are loud, obnoxious, boisterous, annoying, distracting, demanding . . . and I still love them.
Could be a song about a vagrant who landed on Martha's Vineyard one summer, attracting tens of thousands of curious tourists. Or not.
My first experiment with Garageband software.
The world has got to wonder about us.
For Laura, who also did the illustration.
So Dwight Engen, Seth Bata and Jonny Prouty were having this awesome jam session on a porch in North Carolina when this redneck geek shows up outa nowhere. Fortunately for us, the virtual tape was rolling . . .
"You give me life when I strike you."
Your standard "Appreciate-What-You've-Got-While-You-Still-Can" Song
The hardest part of being a space cadet is coming back to earth.
The opening of this song is another demo recorded in my car. Some day I'm going to replace the cheesy bass sound. Written June 2003.
Yikes, my brain is too full.
A song in progress, co-written with guest vocalist Jeff Jaeggi
I wrote and recorded this song around Thanksgiving 2003. It's funny because when I listen to this song now, it's as though my words were somehow channelled from a future me in other words, the present 2009 me.
A well-meaning song demo with bad drums
Standing on the front porch. Looking over the sea. Waving our magic wands. My little sister and me.
The perspective of a hard-living dead guy. Inspired by the recent demises of Warren Zevon, Johnny Cash and Keith Richards. No wait, Keith's not dead yet.
A quick, don't think too much about it, don't wake the kids with your gawdawful singing, have a little more eggnog, written and recorded in one night Xmas-related Song.
March 2003. Mom died and I started writing songs again.
Kind of an acapella cop show theme song, except with drums and bass.
