When I am with you I forget my body is falling apart When I'm with you I forget my body is a disaster waiting to happen At least most of the time At least most of the time I do But sometimes a fear crept in Sometimes but I couldn't help it, I swear And to be honest I'll probably forget this by tomorrow But until then I have a thought I tell myself: Soon this will not matter Soon this will not matter Soon this will not matterrrr........

Of course I want you After everything it makes perfect sense.... Why can’t love be like in my dream Why don’t you show up when i want you to Why can’t it always be June Why can’t it be like that one time Why do i Why do i have to try Love should be effortless shouldn’t it Or was it ever as easy as i played it back in my mind I talk about love like i felt it Really it’s just a container for my thoughts It’s something to throw my loneliness and fears into And my thoughts of you and touching you I worry there’s something i could do better Or maybe i just worry Worry is like water Trying to get to the lowest point Filling any container Always drawn to the lowest point Always drawn to the lowest point And if displaced it takes the same weight Elsewhere Oh no no no I can’t believe it doesn’t go away Does it evaporate Will it ever evaporate Or is it mine forever Of course, of course, of course

about

Welcome to my Summer 2018 "TOUR TAPE": One For The Road!

I recorded the tape over the course of two days at my friends’ basement studio, where I was able to learn about recording techniques, trust my own instincts, and capture an intimate sonic portrait of my current work.

To me, this is a beautifully imperfect document of where I am musically at the moment, and my first foray into solo studio recording.

The tape is an invitation into the studio with me, where you can hear the sounds of the room and the slight idiosyncrasies of my performance.

I recorded this in a candlelit basement late at night, so I like to think it is best listened to under similar circumstances.. I encourage you to close your eyes, recline, drift into your thoughts and feelings, and let your mind wander.

Thank you so much for listening! I hope that it connects with you in some way. And I hope to see you.....

On the Road.....
