It's Enough to Make Me Cry It's Enough to Make Me Cry
Man, this place has been hell on my heart. Yet another failed attempt at love in suburban Maryland.

A Little Help From My Friends A Little Help From My Friends
Aptly titled considering my pals are what got me through a rough patch recently.

I'll Do I'll Do
Sometimes I get confused about why my heart is a little lonely and no one seems to get that I'm a pretty righteous chick. This song is my retaliation against all of the stupid boys who don't quite get it.

Bell Bottom Blues Bell Bottom Blues
One of the only good things I got out of my relationship with S**** is that he introduced me to this Clapton song.

Always Blue Always Blue
A slightly embarassing recount of a crush I had on a local blues musician.

Blue Boy Blue Boy
Sometimes, but thankfully not often, I have to write songs as a form of an apology. This is one of them.

Dreams Dreams
I wonder if Stevie Nicks would be happy or sad that there's an icecream parlor in New Philadelphia, Ohio, called 'Crystal Visions' after this song?

Savannah Savannah
Please don't tell the nice people of Savannah, but this song is actually about Charleston, South Carolina. 'Charleston' just didn't flow as well.

Oh, The Outfield. Only you guys could make a song about cheating with an underage girl so compelling.

I'm in the Mood for Love I'm in the Mood for Love
I'm kind of a sap. I love black and white movies including 'Every Night at Eight' from 1935, from whence this song came.

Tom Waits: no longer just for the drunk and depressed.

Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet
Hard to believe that Mark Knopfler also wrote a song called Donkeytown.

Let Them In Peter Let Them In Peter
A mournful song for the loss of life that war brings. It originally started as a poem, written by Elma Dean, a Berkely based poet and writer, in 1942. Numerous folksters have covered this song. Why not one more?

Take On Me Take On Me
Oh, Val. Why do you insist on acoustifying everything? Ah Ha originally did this song with synthesizers, but I ain't scurred.

Fast Enough Fast Enough
After listening to this original, you might be tempted to call me a 'commitment phobe.' It's probably alright to give into that temptation.
