Wildfire

My first song, 'Wildfire'. This is a mellow underground hipster band. The lyrics to 'Wildfire' are, 'You are my wildfire, love. Bright enough that flames can't feel your touch. That's not even saying enough. You're so far away. But I know you have to stay. Left on a hillside. No one to confide. You had a dream last night, that all your sorrows turned into light. You're like a rush of coffee. So hot it burns my tongue. No-place-to-go, you're in my heart. That's a permanent spot. It's all I've got.'

Beard Six Feet Long

I wrote a new indie song, 'Beard Six Feet Long', which is inspired by a cool old guy I know who talks incoherently in unfinished sentences: 'I flew by the moon. Running around. Lady liberty, she sprinkles you with silver-gold. Ask for Tom, he could fly if you knew him.' Enjoy.

Back When You Were a Kid

Lyrics: “It was when u were u were a kid. Back when parks were the thing. You had it in for me. I didn’t quite see. That a crush could hurt so much. You were on a swing and I wanted a fling. And it was just puppy love, so why did I wear those gloves? And oh, my mother said, “Wear layers its cold!”

Hide and Seek

Lyrics: "I like you. Some people take you far. Nowhere to hide. You gotta get away. Go somewhere far far away. Nowhere for us to go. Somewhere to go. Love is a mystery. We will be playing. It's just a song, it's real life."

Lyrics: 'When I got home last night all I could hear is the sound of fright. And then I saw lights go back on when you hold me. So I need you to help me see. We play it good. Because in the night, all I can see is a touch of you taking me. There is something better than what you offer in words. The sun was under a knife just like me. To escape the pain that holds me back in the rain. And then I said, "Please help me understand what it's like to be in the sand and then I saw you and I played this song."

Blue Jay, it Pains Me

Lyrics: "Blue jay, it pains me. CN star is my name. McFly from Riverside. Soccer to dance, piano. Draw weightlessly. Worry from my stress. Free. I dream my father. To dance for my father, sister. Blue jay, it pains me."

Avant-Garde

Lyrics: "The first electric chair was invented in 1904 by a chipper young man. He and his brother, Pop ran a small town repair shop. When they started work on their invention, everyone said all this tension, 'You'll never get it off the shelf!' But, they built a clay model out of old parts, the model worked fine, and in ten minutes time, it toasted 24 slices of bread. It used up two gallons of oil an hour, and could be plugged in for additional power. They sold the patent to a grumpy millionaire with an axe to grind for 69 cents and lived deadly ever after."

"What is going on I say? January, February is gone away. Bye bye. March, come say hi. Knock knock on your door. Said she did not feel no more."

Lyrics: "We're going steady. That's how I see it. I trace your face in my mind. You're one of a kind. your love's so soft I cry tears. I haven't felt this in years. Not from anyone but but my dad. Isn't that sad? I had no idea you could be the perfect one for me, seriously. Your kiss is a spell from hell. On your lips I can tell"

You Have To Let Go
01:23
|

|
Lyrics: "Oh oh you have to let go oh. So you're the girl with the golden hair. It's not like I care.I hate you, but what's new. If you say it's cold, you're old. The radio is the same shit, and you believe it bitch. This isn't the 1930's, it's a time where all the streets are dirty. Computers rule the world, not gold and pearls. Flappers flap about, for that I have no doubt. Nobody works in factories anymore, stop being such a bore. What you say is a load of crap, your mouth is like a Venus fly trap. You take the gossip and swallow, nobody wants your spit. Keep it in, and your life won't spin. Oh oh you have to let go oh."

Lyrics: "When words aren't enough you have to sing it out. Because songs have more emotions than diaries. Oh a song never did me wrong. So sing along. Let your fears run dry. We worked all day and we couldn't make it pay. So in the chain gang we'd say: 'Sing a tune make the girls swoon.' We had nothing better to do. A song never did me wrong. Oh a song never did me wrong."

Lyrics: "Sara-Lee, Sara-Lee, oh what you do to me. She doesn't feel good today though. Oh where did you go? Sweet Sara-Lee, please dream of me, dream of me, dream of me. We could be on the sea with nothing to do but be free. Let's hear it for Sara-Lee, Sara-Lee, oh. Paint the walls, see it gray. Cement blocks are on their way. She doesn't feel good today though."
