Heard something crawling in the walls this morning
Later on, I heard that fateful snap
The little critter never had a warning
I'll have to head on down to face the guilt that's waiting
When I check the trap
A pair of trees I planted in…

The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
'Cuz they might take you in your sleep
You wish that you could…

In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down
Would you turn me down
As the time's running out
And I make my advance
Would there be any doubt
If I take the chance
Can I have one…

You never know where a song will come from. Literally, someone mentioned to Alyssa that I could play guitar. The song just took over from there.

The music came first. I don't know where the words came from.
LEAVE ME ALONE
Looks like you found me after so damn long
My papers around me, my sanity gone
Why do you hound me from dusk till dawn
Still trying to drown me - how'd you get…

Where it all began.
THE PERFECT CRIME
When you told me you'd be leaving
Without even telling him goodbye
I couldn't stop smiling all that evening
The closest I've been to being high
Now you've got my poor mind racing

Just a delicate little instrumental. Took my time getting it right, because, well, there was nowhere to be that day. Or any day after that. Or any day after that...

I'm betting we all wrote a pandemic song or two this year. As of the time I uploaded this song, I haven't seen my parents in eleven months, and I haven't seen my sisters in thirteen.

How it must feel to be owned by the musical machine.
BLEEDING OUT
You didn't know me, lured me in like a tease
And now that you own me, you can play me whenever you please
Why did I ever let you into my soul
Now I know you'll never let…

It was a rough year.
This instrumental is pretty much how it felt.
I'm sure you can relate.

So, my 2020 started with losing Bandit.
THE LAST LONG WALK
You woke me up at 4AM this morning
And told me that you had to see the sights
I'd read all the signs and heard the warnings
I couldn't put you through another night
So we walked…

Can't help but wonder...
WHEN I'M GONE
You spend your whole life writing the words
Find the right way to say 'em and never get heard
The soul of an artist, laughing and crying
Here to sing to the world or die trying
I woke up this…

Originally written for my sister going through 2020 hell, but man, it has applied to just about everyone by now. We'll get through it, gang. We'll get through it.

Well, this song showed up right at the end of the recording session, and it reminded me of why I do this - and it was just what I needed.
THANKS FOR COMING
I agreed to meet
I smile and take a seat
To hear you say how I could be a star…

Well EVERY album needs a love song!
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU
Doctor says my numbers aren't where they're suppose to be
Gotta change my eating habits and work out more than once a week
I know I tend to get addicted to things that make me…

Of all the souvenirs, photos, baseball memorabilia, and musical instruments in my study, the item I value the most is one small 3x5 of my sister and me.
3x5 OF ME AND YOU
I sit with my belongings around me on the shelf
Pictures of my heroes…

The last of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers died not long ago. Go look them up if you don't know the story. These were some of the finest men to ever serve.

Wrote this one from an interesting perspective. Found a nice little hook and didn't mess with it - sometimes sparse arranging is best.

Sometimes you just gotta hack away at the acoustic. Oh, and for those of you listening from the New Hampshire coastal music scene, I "borrowed" your documentary title. Had to do it.
