abode
melodic acoustic hush folk
track 01 on the album... begins with the same awkwardness that most of my albums begin with... stark, and empty.
track 02, poetry was found on a website, and I enquired if i could use it in a song... I did an original older version on 4 track (also available further down this page) and this version brings it back to the new (:. I like to think it's about hope.
track 03, a song that came to me rather quickly, it's sort of a thank-you song to friends of mine.
track 04, one of the first songs written for this album, and was recorded and then ported over to a different medium to work with. simply about timelines that never work in my favor.
track 05, searching for something..., but no idea where to even begin.
