Rough stab at a kinda different sound, and my first use of some drum sounds from an obsolete synth. Your comments are invited, but please be kind! :-)

True story. Christmas day, I met a black woman named Jesus living on the streets of Des Moines. I brought her water and she named me Water. Still, I find myself at the intersection of white guilt and white saviorism. To succumb to either is to…

I sampled and chopped to extract some chords from a lovely rearrangement of an anime bgm that Poloma from the REM group made, based on "In The Fall", from Yuyushiki https://youtu.be/NwvXD9yb558?si=SWC1AwZW0CEm732D I experimented with a few…

Having a jam this morning and this one popped out Rock n Roll will sooth your soul Rock n roll its told it’ll sooth your soul It’ll get down deep Deep into your bones And you’ll find yourself letting go rock n roll will…

I spent some time in 2012 and 2013 to record my friend Rick who was just learning how to play guitar. He had grown up playing drums in different bands and found the joy of writing songs. Rick is no longer with us. Greg Connor

To all of you hitting a musical wall (mine seems to be in my throat), this song has been giving me major issues. I had lyrics and vox but it never sounded convincing. But I love the chord progression so I'm sending it out into the world to maybe…

This started as an exploration of more traditional progression, and it turned into a dirge and sendoff for my tried-and-true Focusrite Scarlett audio interface that served me well for the past 15 years or so. Nothing left for me to do but bury…

The walls are closing in again tonight Shadows dance beneath the pale moonlight A hollow ache that echoes through my chest Loneliness You’re an unwelcome guest Loneliness is a killing thing It cuts so deep it starts to sting A silent…

Dark clouds crawl across the sky The sun’s a stranger Don’t ask why Shadows stretch They twist and grow A heavy weight It starts to show The streets are empty Whispers scream Reality’s a broken dream No map No compass Just the haze…

He walks in light A shining flame A spark ignites just at his name No need for stars when he's around His laugh alone's the sweetest sound His eyes are oceans Deep and wide I lose myself No place to hide Each glance he throws My heart…

I crossed the oceans and scaled the skies Searching for stars in strangers' eyes A map in hand but the roads are lies Blind to the glow where the treasure lies She's standing here right in my view The one I've been chasing is you I looked…

A black cat is crossing my path tonight With glowing eyes under the streetlight It steps so soft like a secret untold Is it a curse or a charm to behold Am I lucky or am I doomed Does the moonlight seal my gloom Whiskers twitch as it walks…

Even when the rain is pouring down I stand here waiting on this ground A stranger’s face I’ve never known A beauty lost but not alone The skies are heavy with their cries But still I search through weeping skies For glimpses of a dream…

i absolutely adored the new loathe single gifted every strength and have been singing along to it all of the past week so i wanted to see how my voice would sound on its own over the song with the stipulation that i was allowed to use absolutely…

A cowrite with Michelle We’ve all done things we’re not proud of Broken promises and painful regrets We’ve all said things that would have been better left unsaid When you’ve gone as far as you can go There’s no more to see no more…

Squier Bass VI, effects

Messing around with mixing. Sometimes I wonder if your hair is still black and long If your eyes are still brown and staring shyly at the ground If your button nose still curves just so If your eyes still stay close when you laugh Sometimes…

This is a song my late-night self apparently left for my morning self to think about. I admit it just keeps gnawing at me, maybe not in a good way. ... Nineteen, standing by the ocean for the first time Gazing long at the sea feeling the…

A song about being home, not so much geographically but in a settled, grounded kinda way... Working with what is and letting go of the things that don't serve me anymore. May it bring you peace as you listen. I'm home... I'm home... For…

Let It Go I used to hold on like the tide to the shore, Fighting every wave, wanting something more. But some things don’t bend, and some things break, And peace don’t come ‘til you stop the ache. There’s a time to fight, a time to flow…

"Always There" I still set the table like you’ll walk through the door, Still hear your footsteps on that old wooden floor. The world kept turning, but mine stood still, You’re gone from sight, but I feel you still. There’s no goodbye…

Too many rainy days lately, so what is a boy to do? Write a song! ____________________________ I'm walking down this country road to find some peace of mind With every step I seem to take I leave the world behind There's agates in the gravel…

Don't shiver when it's cold outside Don't confuse a sense of place with pride We're first to see by the dawn's early light From the desk of Mr. Hortense Binette Change the stationary header make it say "We're all connected by the radio…

Lessons not, quickly forgotten. Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden. Troubled times, lay down often. Catch the sky, once in a while. No longer a sound. Lack of presence feelin' down. Nothing to put my arms around. Emptiness is not profound…

I saw you walk right by me without a second glance. I heard you talking right behind my ‘ugly’ back. Who knew that we could turn from friends to strangers so so fast, I thought that this was just the end. I always argued it was your fault…

From this side I see only one side and I don't have to say that I can't pretend Just don't let her down And at last there's a chance to remain above all, friends and yet we don't know just don't let her down and I'm wrong and…
