to my brother and sister. sometimes you don't realize who you were until you left. i value family so much, but somehow i don't live as if i do. i want to change this.
Merritt, it was so special to hear this in your little beautiful prayer room full of kati's scraps and christine's love... sending you pictures soon of our beautiful time together. i miss you so much. i love you so desperately!

This song originally bored me. but i found out how to modulate and bend the sounds in a way that i enjoyed it. also listen for the appearance of my lovely Dumbek drum. :) enjoy

I definitely like this one the best. You have crazy awesome beats! Mine usually end up as basic four-on-the-floor dance beats but yours take the cake. Keep up the electronic stuff, I dig it!

hey there son, indeed i write songs now. (granted not very wonderful quality) but i figure if i do enough i might start pumping out good ones soon enough.
since when did you go electronic?
its crazy.
whenever i listen to new tmtf i orgasm at your drum beats.
and now i sit in awe at your crazy electric drum beats.
they are intense, son.
i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.

This is an absolutely beautiful song written by Jon Foreman for his side project Fiction Family and I felt like givin it a shot soo I just kinda learnt it and threw it together theres a few flubbups but they kinda workout well in the end
enjoy :)
This is an old one...just wanted to share it.
Do you feel the tears fall
fall from heaven
gathering as puddles at your feet
does it stain your shoes?
if i stay long...no I won't
i won't bare it any longer
do you feel the heart sigh…
OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...
This Song (Recorded and written in 06) done the conventional way. I Wrote the words 1st. I was thinking I would like to write a song kinda like those of the old days. Pretty straight forward and Not too abstract. I need to redo because the chorus…

hey thanks for the comment. what do you mean by "the spacial thing?" acctually, i'm not too pleased with how "a love song for the cursed" turned out, my friend who wrote it has an incredible voice so i guess its hard to match :D thanks again!
i think this is fairly self-explanitory...it was inspired by a line in The Brothers Karamazov, which went on to examining myself and my tendencies as a sinner.
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
The acoustic version in rough of Often hide with part of a song written back when I was putting my mind back together, it goes as a pair with Hammers. Sorry for the glitches, the MAC chirped in a battery warning during the recording, I would avoid…
kinda frightened rabbit bright eyes inpired.
threw it together.
my friend ran over my computer so i have to record this on whatever computer i can get at the time, so its not dont all that great, took about a n hour..
jiggles, you can record without that watery sound by going to your settings and turn off the setting that cuts extra noise. this haunted my music for ages before i figured it out. keep writing, i like it. it reminds me of bar style singalong. i love.
I name each instrument track that I lay down when creating a song. Sometimes it's simple, like "Bass" or "Drum Kit," but sometimes I get creative. "Breath of Men" was the name of one of the synth tracks on this song, and I ended up naming the…

i know you're from ohio, but is there anychance that you lived in Endicott NY? haha... peace
i say, loose the electric or pick a tune for it. i like how you do the layers. i kinda gave up on that. i was like... forget the full band...
by the way, i like the multiple guitar layers, its very rhythmic yet melodic!
