This is a silly song I wrote 35 years ago for a crush. For some reason today felt like the day to record it.
The way that mountains shape the horizon
The way that lightning lights the sky
The way that ice cream makes you shiver
The way…

The smell of wine sweetly passes, bittered by her breath
Those lies weaving twisted thoughts deep into your head
That life is better traveled where no other thoughts have lead
But life may live to deceive
Curtain drawn, her hair let down…

Stumble across
A crack in the sidewalk
Jolted back to the dry city air

You could not be faithful in the end
I only asked for eternity, forever and again
But you could not be faithful little friend
Every sunrise to paint the mountain dew
Every honesty Rembrandt ever drew…

Bob Dylan from '63. Single track, single take, broken guitar and broken man trying to sing and forgetting Bob's beautiful lyrics.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,

The story of everyone's life.
I tried again, after I learned it a bit better.
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down…

The street heats the urgency of now

This is my 2nd Piece that I "wrote" in a pretty simple fashion. I started with the 2 pizzicato tracks and then Improvised 3 voices on top of that. It started as a test if I can plug in my audiointerface into my phone and it kind of worked out…

I wanted a loose nod to “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”, so I started it in the rain and ended it with returning to someplace I used to live. But then because of Bud Cort I thought the singer should inexplicably die at the end of each verse. This…

Traffic lights, are they those lights that drivers are supposed to stop at when red ? Cool song, harp is a little Dylan/Young-like.
