This song is one of the few i wrote just for Abide. I've been listening almost non-stop to Dylan's latest release and this is what I got out of it. I mean no disrespect to Bob, just trying to sing my songs.

This is one of the songs I wrote for Filthy Time that's been hiding in the back of a notebook waiting for music to be chugged out. I'm really glad I let this seep for a while before letting loose.

Supposed to be the biggest joke on this album, Candle turned more into an actual like-able song. I was trying to make fun of Sonic Youth stuff, but it ended up growing and becoming an instant Mud Octave classic track. The Lyrics were written…

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned out great. Maybe a little too Velvet Underground. Maybe nothing is ever too Velvet Underground... Written just for Abide.

Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This was written as a poem before I started writing Slumber Love.

Not much to say about this but that it's one of the first songs I actually wrote down every note for. I think that makes it a small cut above most of my instrumental songs.

A couple months in a metal band called Season's Legion inspired this song. The lyrics were written in what we (Katie Lawrence Co-wrote) thought would be what their singer would have written for this type of song. The title was supposed to be…

I don't know if even I can tell, but this is inspired by Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. Ok, maybe its not so well hidden. Katie Lawrence can be heard on this track, recording this having never seen the lyrics prior to.

Drinking coffee at my modest kitchen table around noon, after just waking up, I starred out the skinny window next to my door and saw the back of a stairway. These Lyrics were partly inspired by Bukowski's style, partly remnants of growing up…

This was supposed to be my "folky" track, but I love the way this turned out. It was originally written Napalm Shoot up but My Chair took it's place on that album.

I've never heard "Horse with No Name" all the way through, and i wasn't trying to rip it off, but i really like the melody i wrote for this and it turned out to fit perfectly with the sound of the bass. Really proud of my composing on this track…

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any? I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and sweet.

ITS Just So Funny. wait till the middle, thats when it really takes off heh heh

This song i don't even know what was going on, all i know is that it turned out exactly how it should be. I really like the lyrics i did for this song.

i wrote this cuz ummm i'm really annoyed with everyone thinking a president can be a good person and i think that obama is as much if not more of a liar than john mccain and just as much a murderer as bush
