I needed a b-side for my 30 Day Songs contribution for April (https://30daysongs.com - come join us!), but I ran out of time, so I used the age-old cop out and produced an instrumental version of the song I was working on. I'll do better next time.

I decided to cover one of Jarrett's songs. Word to the wise - it's harder than you think. Dude uses a lot of inversions and weird chords. So, being me, I kinda-sorta figured out the chords, but not quite, then took to creating my own song that…

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

I tried to write a song that sounded sort of like Peter Gabriel. I'm not sure how close I got, but Megan and Jarrett absolutely killed it on this tune. I can see you in my mind Like a dream I can’t forget I’m reaching out to touch you But…

Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M. Dream of a life that’s never been seen A world of possibilities, a place in between A place of shadows, a place of light A place of secrets, hiding in the night Oblique, oblique…

Sometimes you listen to a Peter Murphy song and then ask ChatGPT to help you write a song. Sometimes you end up with this. You wouldn't believe the lyrics I left out. Goths on the beach, all dressed in black, Heading for the waves, and…

I don't even know you anymore. You open your mouth, the words slip out I’m shocked by what I hear The differences couldn’t be more clear Same scene, different views With our eyes and on the news And I’m not sure what to do I don’t…

Brent wrote a song. A really good song. I asked for his session file. I replaced his drum and keyboard sounds and remixed things. I added a second guitar and some strings. I created an odd percussion track. Then I recorded my own vocals…
