Blues-influenced songster, churning out songs never-before heard about food, love, work, teaching Spanish, and more.
In an effort to get my music out into the world and to hone my writing practice, I'm starting a Song-A-Week project I'll attempt to release one brand new song per week for a year, starting today, Sunday, May 14th, 2006, and continuing through Sunday, May 13, 2007. Traditionally I, like most people, have written about love and sex — attraction, frustration, satisfaction, the works. As evidenced by the first song in my new series (about a job interview for a lame job), I'm trying to break out of this mold a bit more with my new series of songs... that said, I remain ever myself, and surely there will be more songs about love and whatnot.

Story behind the song
This song is a little bit old, but I haven't recorded it yet and I polished it up a bit this week, so I'm counting it as my latest song-a-week. This song was actually inspired by something I wrote in a journal entry as part of a poem years ago -- that "poem" was shit, but I thought it made a good start to a song.
Lyrics
Now and then there comes along Someone you could choose to love Usually you turn them down Usually that's for the best People you could see the grace in Melt into the crowd Angels in the making Never come back around Made some choices in my life Maybe choices have made me Wouldn't want it otherwise But sometimes I would like to see Everyone I've seen the spark in Come on back out of the darkness Step into the light Come on babe you and me Let's just see what this could be If only for a little while... Don't you ever want to know What could have been If we could just let go Just for a little bit So much I see I'll never know Faces in the grocery store A thousand lines in the parking lot A thousand lives that leave me wanting more Now and then there comes along Someone you could just to love Usually you turn them down Usually that's for the best
