(Song 3 this year) When you're younger, you're everything or so it seems Then you start becoming a ghost in the years between People say things about you like "He was always so nice" "Such a good guy" , "Such a shame" or " he always…

this is all chris. except i went the route of playing synthesized drums, which was a gas. at one time i couldn't stand the sound of them. but i knew they would fit his song. i think this is a very interesting journey.

Recorded way back (early '80s?) on open reel tape. The mumbly voices are from whatever was recorded on there before, as it was a former CBC Radio tape. The "instrument" is one of those little slicers for hard-boiled eggs. Submitted to Sound-In…

You used to laugh at people Stuck in traffic Stuck in lines Now you stand there with your coffee Just grateful you’ve got time Thought you’d outrun every heartbreak Sleep through every storm Now you’re calling up your brother Just to hear…

I still see your shadow in the doorway light Coffee cup cold on a Tuesday night Your laugh lives in the cracks of the walls Every echo sounds like your call I kept the promises we never made Held onto words we were too afraid To ever say…

Regs old flame from his youth is back in town the one who first broke his heart he hasn't seen since that night she broke his heart.... I don't know how i'm gonna face her down Get the wagons in a circle boys, cause Trouble…

A countrified tribute to Mr. Eno.

another car/sex metaphor song

A little light A little snow I cannot hide I have to know The old hiking shoes The unripened fruit The fly fishing ties I unraveled you Beyond Herrell Hill Beyond Charlotte Pike Beyond the Oort Cloud Without a shred of doubt

A strange beast that began back in 2021 as a chord progression that didn't go anywhere. I finally knuckled down and finished it. It has a somewhat awkward transition from verse to chorus, but when I tried shifting either to accommodate the other…
