Did you guys hear? There are SPY BALLOONS!!!!! A view from above, floating so high Watching as the world goes by Silent and sleek, full of mystique High altitude game of hide and seek Flying high, floating in the air You think you…

I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits. Riding on a train to the edge of town Where the night has just begun People on the street with nowhere to go Living hard and having fun Everywhere I go there’s a song…

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…

Everyone loves a tribute to The Cure I’m sitting here in the dark , Thinking how we fell apart I can’t shake the feeling of your touch Remembering the way you smiled, And how you said you’d stay a while But now you’re gone and I’m here all…

Yacht rock. Every time I see your smile I feel like I’ve come home And every time you stay a while Is the best day that I’ve known You’re the one that lights my way Brings brightness to my day And I just have to say Don’t want it…

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…

Based on the show "The Great" on Hulu. Yeah, I know. You've never heard of it... Lead guitar by Anton Samford Backing Vox by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp.com You got the moves, you carry the cachet Always used to having…

This is what happens when the drummer sends you a bunch of jazz chords. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp.com Can’t stop falling down Can’t stop falling forward Whenever you’re around I struggle for the right…

This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well..... Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like Time to self-assess You still want to be so…

Grant and I became obsessed with maj7 chords and that led to a lot of jazzy sounds. The title came before there were words and it seems about right. Megan really made this one shine. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp…

For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat. Keep it quiet kids…

A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits. I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…

Another song idea from a meme. Or, more accurately, a movement. The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century…

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…

I attended Ronan's Mountain Recording Retreat this past year and one of the mentors was Michelle Shocked. We had nightly jam sessions with the participants and she would jump into the middle of us and just make everything so much fun. She also…

Look, it's not a Letter Seventeen record if I don't end it with something like this. Plus, I spent way too much time playing with orchestral libraries all summer to not use them somewhere. It started off so nice A time for you and me Taking…

An updated version of a 10 year old song, now featuring orchestration.
